There's different types of proven though right? Sigurdsson for example had proven that he could regularly score in the PL which is something. Allan might have proven he can make the CL in a good Italian side but he hasn't proven he can last in the PL.If mid table mediocrity is the objective then yes they would qualify as proven.
If european competition is the objective then they are not but Allan is.
We can't afford a team of Allans but one or two would do us good.
What I'm really saying is the idea of "proven" is dumb and we should look at other things when making these decisions.
