Bridge is a decent squad player. But yeah saying him being second choice is the reason to sign him is bullshit. Btw, its not entirely true either because he has benched Cole on several occasions.
But still, the reaosning is crap. As said, Momo was 4th choice, and Zanetti was like 7th choice in Inter.
And no, for the record, dont want him, I prefer if we sign Dossena.
