I'm somewhere in the middle. I don't think he's as bad as some are saying, but to be honest I have more than once read opinions on him and come away thinking he gets quite a lot of leeway from most fans and the errors and daft shit get brushed over sometimes.
Personally, he's not really my ideal type of centre back and I think it's debateable as to whether he was at that point worth the fee and being our record signing, but he's a good robust option to have, is still very young, and CB's with recovery pace are quite rare and will always command a premium.
