to early to judge
no comment

i might be wrong -and hopefully so, as it's too early, but my first impression on his first match is that he's too soft and just mediocre

[ynwa]

wanna see some more games b4 i make a decion on him.  on what i seen of him so far he looks a decent player

[7_Kewell]

he's better than Josomi and thats good enough for me for now.  Will make a proer judgment in the summer.

he needs more time to bed in .....but i hope he gets better.

Bottom line is he looks better than Josemi, and as - strictly speaking - he's competing for a place with Finnan, we've got the position tied up and it hasn't cost us any money.

Definitely looks a great bit of business to me at the moment.

[red_guy]

Better than josemi i might say. Let him play for a few games, i bet he's going to impress us all.
Anyway, agree with most of u guys, not that good at defending. Only time will tell.

Looks promising, will settle in time hopefully

i loved that dive he did......classic mcdonalds style advert dive 

cool

[stmichael]

solid, nothing spectacular

[redmikey]

i would have swapped josemi for a odd sock on ebay!!

can't say i am blown away by him . the diving was shocking but give the lad a chance.

i think finnan is safe at rb for now. but pressure for places is one way making sure players don't relax  nice one rafa

lets face it jan kromkamp had a good first game but it was only against pompy. in my oppion he does look a better footballer them josemi but it is still early days. hopefully he can push he unsung hero steve finnan hardto get in the 1st team. also i would like to say hoe well agger played in his 1st game a couple of shacky moments but overall a good performance. and finally good luck and all the best for the reds tomorrow.

doesnt look that good yet but its too early to judge him - except to say we offloaded Josemi and got in a Dutch international FOR NO FEE! What more could you want?

[Robbie Fowler is Back]

Now that we've had a chance to see the lad play what does everyone think?

I know the lad has only played one game but I thought he looked quite good and he passed well under pressure, although I haven't seen enough of his defending and he got in the way of Alonso for the Ferdinand goal last week, I guess the lad is also still getting used to the zonal marking.

My opinion is, he's not that much greater to what we have already,, but if he was a straight swap for Josemi, Rafa will not end up with egg on his face if he turns out to be a Pellegriono/ Nunez type player.

My personal opinion of him- Competant at best, not "Awe inspiring" and not a touch on finnan. He's decent and I respect the fact that Rafa signed him to rest other players.

[shanksandrafa]

give him his chances
