The money we may or may not have doesn't come into it. If free transfers are good enough for Chelsea they're good enough for us. Ben Haim is better than what we already have. Get him in. Who knows if we'll be able to buy a better defender. They may not be available.
Aye, thats the problem, he's free and signing him won't cost us much + it will bring a decent defender in, but if we can get better then why not get them..
We can either play it safe and take Ben Haim, who is far better then what we used to have, or take a gamble..and try to bring in players who are even better then him..but thats being too optimstic because i don't think better players will want to come here in the first place.
I rather this season we build a squad. When we finally have a squad where we've got more than one man to choose from on each position. Then next season we can start looking for talents and gambles.
