I'm not overly for him coming, but if we're not going to get Lazzari then he's the perfect guy to come in and rotate in and out with Ambro and Gatt and allow them to rest before CL matches. So he makes sense in a way... Also, one main thing about him is that when he plays against you he's the sort of player you scream at, but you'd rather him on your team than playing agaist it
I'd much rather we brought in a young South American, but if all the rumours of Ganso, Lamaela, Sakho, Coentrao, Luiz, etc is just paper talk, then Mexes and Van Bommel will at least help us secure Serie A and allow us to rest a CB and DM before important CL matches.
Its a short term fix, but hopefully not an excuse not to buy younger, better players in the Summer!
A LB and CAM would be better, but you'll probably pay through the nose for quality during the January market... But if we bring in Mexes and MvB in January, get the Serie A title, make it past Tottenham in ther CL, then sign Jucilei, Ganso, Coentrao and Luiz or Sakho in the Summer, we'll be happy enough
