Rapana just seems like another instance of us signing a name rather than a player we really need. Several, cust and ropana are poor quota options for us imo
On the face of it I’d agree we look well covered at full back, but for whatever reason there’s obviously a strategy from the club in targeting players who can play full back (Sailor, Rapana, Stewart) and it likely comes from the coach as it’s said he has identified the overseas targets. He obviously thinks it is a priority and Rapana has played under him.
I’m sure the club will use the highlight reel and try to make the most of his big name status but don’t think it’s just because he’s a name.
