Roeder praise for SibierskiNewcastle United manager Glenn Roeder has expressed his happiness with the performances of summer signing Antoine Sibierski so far this season.
Roeder said: "Antoine is a key member, if not the key member, of our squad at this moment.
"He gives us height and power in the air at both ends of the field, and he has already paid for himself.
"The people who rubbished his signing will probably feel a little bit stupid now.
"And with the situation with Shola Ameobi, it is vital for us that Sibierski stays fit for the next couple of months.
"Apart from his prowess in the air and his ability to play some good football, he has a terrific deft touch and also an eye for goal.
"Off the field, he is a very intelligent and unassuming young man, and there is nothing you can dislike about him."
