I just watched a repeat of Nordsjaelland vs Juventus and I gotta say, Okore is absolutely phenomenal. He is a fighter and at just 20 years of age, looks a great prospect. He was MOTM last night and deservedly so. He is the reason Juventus only managed to get one goal on the night. I think we should sign him before another club does. Would absolutely be a bargain.

Thoughts?

He was outstanding against us too, looks a hell of a young player, and an absolute beast too. Be better if he swapped the `r' and `k' in his name though, JoKes ORore sounds much better...

definitely wont mind us taking a punt on him, I get the same feeling I had with Kompay and Vertoghen before they left their clubs.

Do we need another defender? I think our defenders are the strongest point in our club. We have great defenders and even the back ups are good.

he looks a good player but from all accounts, Jeffrey bruma, Kenneth omereo, and thomas kalas are all making great strides.

yeah i thoughted he was good too. JT long term replacement perhaps.

Ake is a prospect though

Is he better than Luiz?

Don't forgot Chalobah either!

Don't forgot Chalobah either!

yeah I think he'l play in midfield though. but he's possibly the best of the bunch.

Okore's a Chelsea fan as well, his favourite team so getting him would not be hard - hes been so impressive during the CL

Is he better than Luiz?

Probably

Buy him. Strong lad

The only issue is height. He's only 6ft. Still worth a punt though.

I didn't see him against Juve but against us he looked like an outstanding prospect. Definetly worth a punt for what he would cost.

This guy could be fantastic, looked brilliant in the 2 Champions League I've seen him play in.

Probably

I think long term he will be. Luiz is a great footballer, but needs to seriously buck his ideas up about defending.

I really hope we don't miss out on this lad, he look quality when I saw him.

Here's a bonus he's a chelsea supporter

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8409054/Danish-starlet-Jones-Okore-could-been-on-the-move-from-Nordsjaelland-this-month

Jores Okore's agent admits that the Danish starlet could move this month.

Sounds like we had a deal hashed out for him in January but he didn't want to move due to concerns about playing time, even though he is a Chelsea fan.  

He probably havent heard about the term being loaned out!

Absolute gun. Should buy. Silly if we don't. We need guys who love the club. Shaw and Okore both love the club. They'd give 100% every game.

He "snubbed"    us and joined Aston Villa on a 4 year deal.

 

Hopefully he can improve his game and by 22-23 be tempted to join us for first team football, hes a Chelsea fan afterall.

 

Isnt it a bit strange though, he could have signed for us and been loaned out? I find it odd.

I actually think he's made the right call, I'm pretty sure if he turns out to be as good as we think he is he will move on in a few seasons time, the only thing is by then his value could have sky rocketed. Then again if he flops we've saved ourselves some penny's.

Very good signing for Villa.
