Vedran Corluka
He was 4 seasons in Anderlecht and took them from 8th to 3rd and 4th. After he left, they're back in 8th again.
He knows how to defend, and have shown, with both Anderlecht and Burnley, that he can get teams to play attractive AND effective football.
He's not my first choice, but I'm warming to it. Always liked Kompany. Always came across as a sensible and likable person, and he has a proven winner mentality. He knows the league and seems to get the best out of every player.
Think we could do a lot worse than Kompany.
Right, fair enough - I'd completely forgotten about his time at Anderlecht actually. That definitely makes him a more viable option, but I'd still like to see how he goes for a couple more seasons. Probably puts him on a similar level of risk as Ange and Slot in terms of being successful outside the Premier League.
