Lens' comments are not all that surprising and in many ways understandable. he's an international who wants to remain so and his next move is massive in terms of his progression.
If, as I half expect, we annouce the signings of Buenno and Astori over the next week or so, this should change things a little bit interms of our perception across europe?
For me, signing a young international startet and a much courted international centre back, coupled with what we already have in terms of facilities, management and structure might make players like Lens and others take us seriously when we make a bid. Getting a couple of big signings in early should allow us to relax a bit and will certainly make the sort of players we want to attract sit up and take notice.
