Hmmm experienced defender who has won the league (something we do not have)
Don't see much wrong with this. Heck if someone told us Carra would end up being our best CB last season nobody would have believed them but it turned out to be the case.
Perhaps Koulo may surprise you. At least we will have a solid threat from corners.
Don't despair.
This signing shows that Brendan is slowly turning into Rafa.
Next he'll grow a goatee and then he'll be signing 48 goalkeepers and a 6 ft 11 striker to put him on the wing.
