I honestly have no idea what Pulis is going for. We will now have 3 right-sided centre backs and 2 left-sided ones. Chester looked poor at RB against City and was subsequently dropped, but now there is no chance he will get a game at CB being the only one under 6'. We are just stockpiling centre backs.

On the plus side, Fazio was excellent at Sevilla and being 6'5" and slow he will suit Pulis' deep defence more than the high line that exposed him at Spurs. Also, it is pleasing that we seem to be addressing the ageing defence issue this summer - even though we are only signing central defenders.

As a side note, another £5m? Total spend is going to hit £50m this summer if Pulis gets who he wants. And we haven't even received a bid for Saido...
