Get what he's saying (as long as he means from a foreign league not a foreign player) risky business hoping a cb hits the ground running, mistakes costs goals, they don't have the luxury for bedding in time. A seasoned prem players would fit right in. Lescott or Hangeland would be great stuff, if that's the standard of CB we end up with the I'm happy, even if I've not been lescotts biggest fan in the past, he's top quality in our squad.
Bit of a massive generalisation though isn't it? Would anybody complain in the slightest if we signed Sakho, Douglas or Yanga-Mbiwa?
