Is there much of a history of Italian defenders succeeding in the EPL? I hate to paint with such broad strokes, but the English game seems to have so much more of a physical side that I question how well some (especially older) Italian defenders would do in England. For the record, I'm not denying the class of these players (Nesta, Ambrosini, etc), just wondering about their "fit" in our game.
 
Vicente (29, Left winger, Valencia)
Miroslav Klose (32, Striker, B. Munich)
Hamit Altintop (28, Right midfielder, B. munich)
Piotr Trochowski (26, Attacking midfielder, Hamburg)
Johan Elmander (29, Striker, Bolton)
Jose Boswinga (28, right back, Chelsea)
William Gallas (33, Centre back, spurs)
Matthew Upson (31, Centre back, west ham)
Sebastian Larson (25, right winger, Birmingham)
Nigel Reo-Coker (26, centre midfielder, villa)
Luke Young (31, right back, villa)
Josh Mc Eachran (17, Centre midfielder, chelsea)
Taye Taiwo (25, Left back, Marseille)
slyvain marveaux (24, Left winger, Rennes)
Andrea Pirlo (31, Centre midfielder, ac milan)
Phillipe Mexes (28, Centre defender, Roma)
Alesandro Nesta (34, Centre defender, ac milan)
Massimo Ambrosini (33, Centre midfielder, ac milan)
Reto Ziegler (25, Left back, sampdoria)

=================

Providing Bill gets his finger out, and we can afford their wages and signing on fee's (how depressing) then there are quite a few on there i'd hope we'd be looking at.

we would deffo need Europe to attract some of these players, the only realistic targets i could see would be Elmander (good target man) Upson, Reo-coker, Young (i personally don't rate them) Mc eahran is supposedly a hot prospect haven't seen much, but probably cost a few million if it went to a tribunal. one player not on the list is Westwood the Coventry keeper, good option if we off load Mucha, I have seen him a couple of times and he has done well.
 
Marveaux is a great player, he's an attacking midfielder, similar to Pienaar.

He has great set piece ability and he's on less than 15k at Rennes and easily affordable for us.
