Maybe you are right. Personally I think worse 4th choice CBs have been at the club. He is not suited to the Physical battle but normally has been fairly assured.This was more like signing another Almunia.
Pablo Mari is a player that would struggle in most Segunda Division teams
Its hard being a CB in the prem league though tbf & Lukaku will expose far better defenders than him.
Dont forget Lukaku got top figures in Italy, a league that is known for quality, savvy defenders. He is a way better player now than the one who was at Man U & is playing for the European Champions.
Would i like an upgrade Yes absolutely!!
Do i think if Ben White & Gabriel had been available he would have played? No way unless we went 3 at the back & even then its likely that holding wouldve been ahead of him.
