I posted the above a few games ago, I think he is getting better and better with each game, I love the way he get's stuck in, looking a good buy now.

Brilliant last night! Just saw that Lennon tackle again. Unbeleivable. Massive performance against Sunderland as well. Actually rubbing my hands together at the prospect of him and the Verminator together at the back again! Finally a partnership I think that'll be very solid and see out a 1-0 or two! Not had that since Sol and Kolo.

I thought this was a stupid thread when it started and I still think it was. Can we please stop making ridiculous threads after seeing a player for 5 minutes? We played against Legia AND WON and people were still having a go. Give players time to adapt and then make a judgement. Yes Kos has made a few mistakes but we won at Blackburn and we won at home to Bolton so they do not matter on those occasions. He is looking stronger every game and I am feeling comfortable with him in defence, give new signings a proper chance.

great value so far imo. still not sure as to who would be the #1 pairing. Gotta be Verm + Squillaci or Kos....not sure which is better.

I think Verm and SS would be starting choice but its hard to leave out a player like Kos.

Great MOM performance yesterday. Has looked good but error prone in the first few games but hopefully that was just down to nerves because he looked a fine player.

Failed to close Jara down on the 2nd goal, FUCKING IDIOT. Can't wait for Verms to return.

He's an interesting player for sure. I would have him near MOTM against Spurs and Sunderland.

Yet he played today like a League 1 defender. Lets hold no punches here, WBA are a glorified Championship side, they made this guy and others look sunday league everytime they went forward.

At first I thought the Senderos comparison wasn't right, but now I'm seeing some of that.... :?

Yep he's so similar to Senderos its frightening......plays well for 89 mins and then cocks up in the 90th.

'Is' and why didn't u mention it at the time?

Making more and more mistakes no? Having Pavlychenko in ur pocket is nothing to get a hard on about.

Kos too weak for the top flight in English football, I stand by that.

some shrewd judges on this thread

think it's safe to say this is up there with one of the worst signings ever made by Wenger - Kos would struggle to hold down a place in the u14 side i manage
