MarkRed! Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 He looked big, strong, powerful and quick when he was warming up. Actually may have been a stroke of genius from the club to sign him .... hope we get to see him play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having another guy in the dressing room who speaks French can't do any harm at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Scuffed a few in shooting practice and I genuinely think he was nervous shooting with 5000 of us behind the goal watching. He definately looks raw but my goodness is he absolutely built. Love the tweet. As he was getting ready to do some sprints in the corner we all gave him a clap and he looked back and all eyes were on him and he looked shocked they were for him and he have a little clap back. Can't imagine how that felt. Hope he had a good career with us. And take this info how you'd like but he was wearing #19 shorts. Going by that it sounds as if he'll be around first team like Wes and Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garita arnold @GaritaSmith 15 Feb 2015 Je ne suis pas le plus talentueux,ni le plus lèche bote,mais ma détermination et mon travaille feront de moi le joueur que je veux devenir!! Translated from French by Bing I'm not the most talented, or the most licks bote, but my determination and my work will make me the player I want to become! Great attitude!

Check him out here, from some video I took earlier; There was one funny bit where the Albion mascot was racing him (not in video). A young Dele / Chief in the making. Is that good or bad?

If you were sat there you were right in front of me. His first sprint he had some pace. Looked winded after though. Reading way too much into it but was nice to see a new face and he was smiling and having a laugh with the boys. Through all we've been through this season they still look like top lads our team.

Can't wait for him to play and hear the fans sing; "he tweets what he wants, he tweets want he wants, Arnold Garita, he tweets what he wants" - cult figure already! How many rows back were you?

Row M. Bet your son was buzzing when they celebrated there after our second. I know mine was. He lives in Texas and this was his first away game. Can tell by his face it won't be forgotten soon. He loves a tweet though. He's just got a positivity about him. International clearance hasn't gone through yet and I hope it isn't a problem.

citywest30 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 He did look big and have high hopes. His shooting in the pre-match practice was woeful but the he wasn't the only one. Freeman, ironically, was clinical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having another guy in the dressing room who speaks French can't do any harm at all. I think it's a genius bit of business. For £50k plus wages we may keep Kodja long enough to see the best from him. Even if they aren't best mates, it'll help both of them to settle and who knows how good Garita will be? His attitude via Twitter is already showing genuine character. Kodja may well have suggested him to our scouts. Just make sure that they both gradually learn English and I think this is very shrewd from the club.

Never seen that before. Looks like this season he will be used to get him up to fitness levels. I watch our shooting warm ups quite a bit and some of our most clinical in them are defenders and midfielders. Always impressed with Del's shooting. Our strikers usually miss. I watch other teams and they seemingly place them in corners every time. It's obviously not the final factor for success but I thought we'd take it a bit more seriously than we do.

How about, "he's big, speaks French..."? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
