This. What is the obsession with "Prem Experience" on this board? Judging by this you want Heskey and Forsell, because they're ex premier league, and not Hazard or Michu, they've never played in the Premier League before this season. I would much rather have a player come in from abroad or the lower leagues who are unproven but have what really counts: Premier League ABILITY, ATTITUDE and TALENT, not some washed up ex-premier league journeymen looking for their last payday who aren't interested in doing well or proving themselves.
Williams is a good player. Reads the game well and is good on the ball. It would make sense for us to sign that sort of defender. When I've seen boro on tV, they've always looked solid.
Prem or top level experience, and proven. You used a terrible analogy. Hazard has been playing very well in France and Michu had been playing well in Spain both at the top level. Heskey and Forsell have always been mediocre at best.
