Guest Knightrider Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Geremi was fantastic once again, my player of pre-season. I lost count at the number of balls he won simply by pressing, sticking a leg out to block a pass or by overpowering his opponent using his superb upper body strength and balance. Rarely does he go to ground to make a tackle, but even when he does he usually wins it. Since signing he's become a first-team player for me and has to play in central midfield as he's not only defensively very sound but he contributes towards the attack too. I've always considered him a good player but he's even better in the flesh. Great signing Sam, and on a free too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Yes him and Rozehnal in particular have impressed me. I couldn't imagine the squad without them now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 He really looks comfortable there. His control is excellent as is his corners, a massive step up from Scott Parker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I think he could well turn out to be one of the shrewdest signings of this transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'd be happy with Geremi as captain. Never thought of him as a shouter but he's certainly a realiable kind of guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, which is what has surprised me. Like I said I've always considered him a good player but he actually looks a classy player. Perhaps he can be our Makalele? He certainly has the defensive nous and the athleticism to play that role as he's shown since he joined. I also like the fact he's a talker, he communicates with his team-mates. If he is to be made Captain I wouldn't complain. Having praised him however, I'm eager to see what he's like away from home as one of the criticisms from Boro and Chelsea fans is that he often went missing on the road. I guess we'll find out next week. Early signs though are very very promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Geremi is a star. It's funny how he ended up as a right-winger at Borough and then a right-back at Chelsea! Originally a defensive midfielder at Real Madrid and actually excelled there for them, and only played out wide for Real occassionally. Really excited that he is still so comfortable playing in the middle of the park and hasn't lost his instincts having been moved around so much at Chelsea. To think he has been sitting on Chelsea's bench all this time and never played in midfield for them. I mean, did they really need Sidwell? Surely Geremi is a better player?

It's not the point if whether Chelsea though Sidwell was better, Geremi wanted 1st team football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 A bit shaky for the first ten minutes, then had another fantastic game. Very neat in midfield, shame about the free-kicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
