    A top signing and could well be the highest scoring defender in the clubs history.

    Scoring a thirty yard screamer in the derby will cement his status as a legend.

    100% he’s probably been the best value for money defender I’ve seen at the club bar Steven Taylor but that was comedy not action hero!

    Seriously though for £3.5m there can't be many better signings in the leagues history since the early 00's (bar free transfers obviously).

    In terms of goals he's got 18 EPL goals (21 in total) - 25th most of any defender across the EPL era. Six more and he's into the top 10! Of those still playing in the league only Seamus Coleman (22) and Virgil Van Dijk (25) have more than him.

    Good player. Good attitude. I like the fact that he says it how it is.

    He’s a good defender and has served us well.

    Loves the club and will probably get legendary status with the trophy win.

    He won’t. But he will just have to accept he will have legendary status.

    He is up there for me as one of our best defenders in my lifetime.

    Dpp is the type of guy that would miss an exit at a junction and deny he was going the wrong way until he reached the sea.

    No. He'd drive THROUGH the sea and say he always intended to drive to Norway.

    Unlike Trev, who would also be in Norway, but actually intended to drive to North Wales.
