Got mullered in the air by Cahill for Australia's goal though. Could not see him playing centre back in this country.
It will be interesting to see if Spain target him in the same way. Not the Spanish way I know but needs must in their case and Costa looks a big guy who could cause Medel some problems if he can isolate him.
I guess we would take about £10m for him to recoup most of what we spent. Not many Spanish clubs can afford that or might want to pay it for a defensive midfielder.
I wonder if we paid all upfront or over a period?
