Let's say they did exactly that last month, what would the roster look like? We'd have Vermaelen, Koscielny, Djourou, Squillaci, and World Class New Boy. If somehow we'd manage to lose Squillaci, when everyone is healthy we'd have four centrebacks. How could we blood and fully develop our future CB with both Vermaelen and World Class New Boy? Although they have made many mistakes, Koscielny and Djourou have taken some large strides due to the amount of playing time that has been supplied to them.
It's easy for Lawrenson to talk about what we should buy from the grocery when he doesn't have to manage the fridge. Nevertheless, we should have gotten someone better than Squillaci.
