I think people are lazy and just think of rodwell, Sinclair type signings or even grealish impact (which should be a lot more next season) and see signing an English player from a lesser team isn’t anything to write home about.
As I say, lazy. They don’t think of Barry, Sterling, walker, stones, lescott, Milner (sorry) and many other successes.
It isn’t a glamour signing, the price reflects it. It isn’t a glamour position but we was weak in that area and now we are much stronger with a regular international who is premier league proven. That along with peps judgement will do for me.
