    Great to see N'Diaye come on against the Hammers, let's hope he is a great signing for us. I guess he will have to get "up to speed" with Premiership football, not least with the aerial side of the game. I was surprised that of the four or five aerial challenges he had during his limited appearance he only won one of them. With a midfielder of 6' 3" I hoped he would be our first line of defence for clearances of kicks from the opposition goalkeeper.
    On a more positive note it was good to see him getting into a scoring position in WHU's penalty area.
    Exciting times this January!

    From what I've heard he's ****e in the air. Not a problem if he's good on the ground.

    Can't really judge on 10 minutes of game time mate but, from what I saw he looked decent.

    We wanted a big, athletic box to box midfielder. Looks like we got one. Nee body mentioned a CM who could head the ball.
