Ex-West Brom defender Moore expecting big things from Bosman Gera

Zoltan Gera is being backed to make a big splash at West Bromwich Albion this season.

Gera is returning to the Albion from Fulham and former Baggies teammate Darren Moore says fans will now see his very best.

"It's an absolutely fabulous signing for the club," 'Big Dave' told the Sunday Mercury. ''Not just because of what he did four years ago but because Zolly's got a great presence around the place.

"On the pitch he's stylish, very precise, scores goals and is a master of timing at set-pieces. He's not the tallest yet he's so good at reaching crosses and knowing when to make his runs.

"A lot will be made of his age but 32 is nothing for someone like him.

"He's never been the quickest anyway so nothing will be lost in that respect.

"In some ways you could compare him to Teddy Sheringham because he's such a clever footballer. He could easily go on and play into his late 30s and I think Albion, for that reason, have got themselves a great signing.

"Fans will still see the best of Zoltan. He could have done a job for anyone and will be back working for a manager who got the best out of him at Fulham."
