Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is delighted with the impact of Philippe Senderos.
The Swiss arrived over the summer on a free transfer.
"Every time I saw Senderos at Fulham, I never saw him having a bad game," Lambert told the Telegraph. "I went over to Switzerland to watch the Swiss train and he organised things. He knows the game.
"He can't be a bad player if he's been at Arsenal, AC Milan, Valencia and been to World Cups. Not many players can turn round to him and say: 'well where did your career go?' He must have been good enough at those clubs for them to go 'listen, right, you're in with us'. I'm no different. I see a lad with really high professionalism."
With a point to prove?
"He probably has. Since he's been here his performances have been extremely high. He's never let me down, never let anyone down."
