TBF it's just what I remember, rather than quotes. I can't be arsed to go back through finding old threads about it.
Fair enough Kraken. I always said that we needed to bring in an experienced head at CB, but finding one with prem experience would have been tough. Personally I think Collins is absolutely dreadful, and would be totally lost playing passing football from the back. He's in there to do a job, no nonsense and boot it long whenever possible. Other than that, the CB's around really just weren't that good or not realistic signings. So not surprised we looked abroad, despite it taking a while to get Yoshi up to speed.
