This lad must be scratching his head, he looks like exactly what we need in the middle of the park.

He's a bit injured apparently that's your answer

Hopefully a bit more dynamic than incey.

He's looked class from what I saw of him in pre-season.

Only 23 and played in Europa League and for the 2nd placed team in the Swiss premier division. He will have quality based on his history and a bright future. I was excited when he signed, lets hope he starts playing some games soon.

He will be an interesting one to watch, as he must be a purely David Burke signing as we had no manager when signing him.

Surely a fit youngster is better to have on the bench like Charlie Harris?

If it is a Burke signing, it's encouraging IMO. (At the risk of repeating myself) He has quality and lots of potential to be a top player in the future. He was also a free transfer so not much risk associated with his purchase, and plenty of scope to make a tidy profit when he matures at 27/28. Finally, he comes from a fairly obscure league - if we have scouts in that part of the world our scouting system can't be as bad as I'm starting to believe.
[Alternatively, Toko's agent made every club aware of his free agent status, Burke watched a few youtube videos and decided he was worth a punt].

I'm sure Oscar signed off the Toko signing

Would expect SH to give him a fair crack of the whip. No different to any one else who was here when he joined. (Granted there aren't many of those left...)

From what I saw in pre-season, Toko will win our "yellow cards per minutes on the pitch" this season by some considerable margin.
Maybe they are still trying to teach what is and what is not acceptable in the English leagues??!!

This. Also, just because he's on the bench doesn't mean he is match fit. Unfortunate he picked up a knock.

According to Tony Bloom the deal for Toko was concluded before the end of last season when OG was still here but just announced/concluded for contractual reasons on July 1st after season end.

This was in the Argus today.
Holla brings much-needed experience to Hyypia's midfield options. His arrival could, depending how he is used, have implications for Toko - signed before Hyypia was appointed - Ince and for the future at the club of fellow Dutchman Agustien.

Great point made by the Argus, there. So can we now expect the same comment on stories about Lewis Dunk - signed before Hyypia was appointed - Gordon Greer - signed before Hyypia was appointed - Bruno - signed before Hyypia was appointed - Calderon - signed before Hyypia was appointed - CMS - signed before Hyypia was appointed - Crofts - signed before Hyypia was appointed - ...........

To be fair, all the players you mention have played recently. I didn't see all the friendlies so I haven't seen Toko play. SH hasn't brought him on once since the season started.
