This 'Ticks all the boxes' bollocks has certainly gained plenty of traction over the last day or two hasn't it.
That, and he a 'solid' signing seem to be the favourites from the pro Jonny brigade who insist on labelling any naysayers as loons only bothered because of his utd connection.
Well the reality is we are overpaying for a player, a CB no less, with little pace who's easily bullied and not particular great in the air. A player who has never played the system we operate in which is to attack from the back but has instead been involved in heavily defensive set ups for club and country. Being able to pass the ball is all well and good and his experience might help him not to bottle it playing for us like some others in the past, but I'm not having he's the answer to our defensive problems. No fucking way. Do I trust the manager? Yes, completely. Am I going to give him a free pass with all of his signings? No, not at all. People seem to have forgotten on here that you can do both.
