Will Jo be a good signing for Man City?

Premier League Manchester City
comment on the article

Jo is poised to be unveiled as Manchester City's record signing in a deal worth £18m

He is a player of promise, but very much an unknown quantity as far as the Premier League is concerned.

Can any of you out there shed any light on what sort of player City are getting? Will he be a success or is this a major gamble?

Let us know your thoughts.

Thaksin - one of the richest men in the world? He has now been denied permission to leave Thailand by the highest court in the land and starts his first trial soon. He will lose most, or all of his ill-gotten gains and Man City will have no money.
Rich? Not for long!

i think jo is a shrewd signing so far. i still have faith in the citizens and in mark hughes as the new manager..

i cant think of anyone id rather see at the club after sven..

He's british, a great manager and has great football experience from all over the world. i trust any decisions he has to make and think people on here are too quick to judge.

well he never really proved himself in national side or even in his former club. his signing is a huge gamble for anyside and i wish the best for the citizens hope they get the best out of him.
