I remember his name being mentioned in the summer during the Euro's , as a full international in dispute with his current club looking for a permanent home. On the face of it, a potentially good proposition for us although not sure if he'd be the replacement for Fonte or Yoshida.
Personally, I think we need that 'beast' of a centre half rather than the more the cultured defender.A younger version of Jaidi. The only name mentioned in the last 12 months that seems to fall immediately in to that bracket is the bloke from Twente, Douglas, although as he is rumoured to have rejected Newcastle & Fulham in the summer it seems unlikely that we would attract him ( at £4m plus).
