I know managers like signing players from their old clubs, but I'm not sure about Lovren.
I think he's just ok. Plus, he looked utter dogshit when they played us at the Lane.
We should definitely not spend more than 5-6m on him.
There are many advantages to him specifically that have been repeated far too many times as of this point for me to do so again, but these advantages certainly give him an edge in my book in a head-to-head comparison against other potential CB options.
Also, you cannot hold that game against him. Soldado clearly fouled him to get the ball to set up our second goal. That along with Vertonghen pantsing Helenius at Villa in the League Cup are far and away two of the luckiest calls I've ever seen in our favor, considering they so often go the other way (our three rescinded red cards for instance in the course of two months).
