Heh...i don't know. Somehow the thought of an EPL defender in Serie A doesn't fill me with confidence. You only have to see Gallas and Toure play together to suspect something might be wrong there.
I don't think Toure can play under the kind of sustained pressure based attack, always-threatening-but-never-quite- there-until-one-sudden-instant. In EPL, it's not like that...almost every play involves a direct attack at scoring. It's easier to be on constant alert. It's a less cunning game. Also I don't really think Toure is very level headed. I'd rather take the Favalli(yep that man again....I get a 'future coaching great' feeling from him) of 8 years ago. (IMG:

I would love for us to dig out and find the next great Italian defending talent. Santacroce sounds great. Might soon attain the status Nesta did at Lazio. Of being young and leading the defence line on his own. If that happens,I don't care what...we better get him.
