He has got himself a bit of a tough hard man reputation but is he more of a gentle giant?
He very rarely gets booked and he doesn't commit bad fouls or go around kicking lumps out of people.
He is a very accomplished defender and a gentleman which bags the question where does his reputation come from?
On another note he must be the 2024/25 PL signing of the season.

As a Forest fan I'm obviously biased but I can't think of another signing who's had as much of an impact on their team.

For me he reminds me fondly of Larry Lloyd and Kenny Burns. Both stood no crap, were both really tough in the tackle and were mostly fair in their challenges (I know Kenny had his wild side, but Cloughie reigned that in).
An excellent value for money signing. Probably my player of the season

Very very good signing, and the perfect partner for Murillo.
I have heard a lot of pundits saying he is in their Premier League team of the year.
Excellent recruitment, we identified the profile we needed and then got the perfect fit.
For a team that defends fairly deep, he is ideal for us.

Yes, agree with Tricky, Player of the season for me too, we wouldn't be where we are if we hadn't signed him.

I felt for him last night.
He dropped a couple of clangers that were unfortunatelty costly.
But over the whole season he has been immense.

Slightly worrying that the day we finally devote him his own thread on here that he puts in a display more reminiscent of Matt Mills.
