To us, here at Vital West Ham, it’s an interesting signing. The player has previous experience of playing in England, with Aston Villa, but at 32-years-of-age, you have to question whether he’s been brought in for midfield cover to bolster the squad, or whether Manuel Pellegrini sees a role for him in the first team, personally, I think it’s the former, but is that a view you concur with?
