What an unambitious signing this would be, fair enough he's a big strong centre back who can get his head on the ball but isn't that more of what we already have and of a better calibre, certainly Kyrgiakos and to a lesser extent Skrtel who's slightly better overall, surely we've got enough big slow defenders surely.
He's a decent player who clearly fits into the type of tactic that Stoke employ, but surely we can go for a bit better than this, maybe dare I suggest extend our sights further than premier league teams of a lesser reputation. I suppose he could be a good backup player but we already know how inflated the prices get when you sign a player from your own division.
