Baah was damn good his first game.. He's getting used to the league so I expect some inconsistencies. Especially considering he's 24 years old too. He reminds me of Olave. At his best when he's chasing guys down and winning the ball. That is useful in this league. He also seems a bit error prone right now, but Olave was at times too.
I have no problem playing Collin over him. Collin runs like a giraffe but he imposes his will on the game when he's at his best. He demands success.
I still trust Perinelle more than anyone we have, so I'm looking forward to his return.
I started out with a lot of enthusiasm for Baah... but that went away pretty quickly. I know the league takes some adjustment, especially for defenders learning what they can get away with, but Olave had blazing speed (remember that run down he did on Wayne Rooney?), was taller, and had at least 20 pounds of muscle on Baah. Olave's calves were each the size of Baah's head. I understand we haven't seen much from him yet, but what we've seen has not been good. At least he's younger and less expensive than Zubar.
Perrinelle was slow and old before the injury, which turned him into a card machine. I hope he comes back and is useful, but I'm not counting on it.
