Altough there hasen't been much talk about bringing in a defender this offseason, Lazio look like they won't re-sign Couto and he's been linked to England. Could be a strong veteran with lots of leadership (since he was Lazio's & Portugal's captain) and experience (over 100 caps) who can help bring along Anton. Plus i think he has realised that he may be more valuable to come off the bench so he won't complain about playing time. Just a thought.
I will pass. Wasn't he the back that was getting torched by the US forwards in Japorea? That was two years ago.
