I'm satisfied with this transfer, but as I said if it's in conjunction with confirming Rami, which seems likely. Alex should offer a year or two of solid service, hopefully by which time we'll have someone ready to take over.
I would have preferred another young defender to grow alongside Rami, but it's difficult to get one at this point in time who can be relied on.
My real hope is that Alex is here for a short term solution while some of our youth can mature a little. I've mentioned in other threads that we do have some really good CBs coming through at youth level, but the oldest is Pacifico who is 20 (and from what I understand probably the least talented), which is really too young to be relied on too heavily.
