I was also one who was against signing Gallas and questioned why! And to be fair in his first few games for us he was off the pace lacked match sharpness and looked well past his best.
Then a few decent performances crept in and most noteably when Kaboul got his red card then an injury Gallas has been top notch.
Happy to see him sign a new deal with us but I expect him to be used more as cover at CB when Daws and Kaboul are fully fit and maybe used more at RB too.
Gallas, has to date served us well and deserves an extended contract, fair play to the fella may his passion and commitment continue!
