He is overpriced, but it is clear we need a central defender badly and who else is there? Fact is we should have got him 10m cheaper last year and already had a season out of him, which may have left us in a better position than we are now. Another example of how badly we have been managed recently.
But the past is done, hopefully, he can shore up our backline and we can progress. I do agree though that without improving DM he may be exposed too often and not look as good as he probably is. I am pleased that we have improved our defence finally which is well overdue, however, I am concerned that our lack of goalscoring power upfront will still leave us short of a top 4 finish. Hope to be wrong.
