Why are you assuming that we won't do that as well ? It's not like Sandro will be our only signing in this window, there will be more to come. This is a brilliant signing if true, this could be LB sorted for 7 or 8 years. I like Alonso, he's had an excellent season, but he's not world class and we should always be looking to add serious competition to the squad. It's not just about the first 11, this add's serious depth to the squad. To compete with the best, you need the best, and we may have just signed one of the best full backs in the game.
