The club have confirmed the signing of George John, the FC Dallas Centre Half. He will be here on an initial 2 months with a view to making things permanent. It's an important signing for us, as the plugs at the heart of defence have been clear for all to see, but it remains to be seen whether the American can cope with the demands of English football. At 24 years old and 6 foot 2, he sounds the part, let's hope he looks it too.
Welcome to Upton Park George, we look forward to seeing you soon…
