yeah, will do for me, carbon copy of White, ball player who is good in the air Sociedad have really come on in the last couple of seasons, were in the title race last time round, quality addition if it comes off. Right age too 27, experienced, but not too old.

At last, a newcomer who has the ability to compete performance-wise with the guy he is seen as replacing. Just a shame we will have to wait to see how he performs in the PL until he's been Bielsafied (and the evidence is clear that that is required if he's going to give if his best).

Excellent news - must be some disgruntled ne-er satisfied fans at RS who were quoted. Seeing they got to the cup final too last year, he must've been doing something right and consistently. Hopefully will be a starter and stop us all having our hearts in our mouths every time the opposition get a corner!

they play the game the right way too. Hes so similar to White that i cant help feeling with this one, that Bielsa has gone specifically for a player that will slip immediately into the system without too much adaption needed.

Like a new Ben White but considerably cheaper

Anybody got a pic of him holding up a jersey or signing a contract?

The 27-year-old joins the club from La Liga outfit Real Sociedad for an undisclosed fee.

He follows German central defender Robin Koch, who joined earlier in the summer.

the deal is done.

Won't be ready to start at Bramall Lane, so Koch and Cooper. Interesting to see how Bielsa tries to handle 2 up front which is the hallmark of Sheffield United.
