Yes he is better than Toure, but again that isn't saying much. I don't know who I'd put there instead, really we need someone new. I really like Flanigan but he's too young to play there at the moment & it would waste his speed.
I do like BR too though, most of what he's done has been good - just made a few errors & has missed a couple of signings that I think he needed. Not bad really.
Wisdom and Kelly are both centre backs, hopefully Wisdom is coming on nicely at Derby. Kelly still seems short of fitness and also is now surprised of the physics of the flight of the ball.. He might not be a long term plan sadly.
Missed signings aren't BR's fault though, it's a mixture of the club sticking to a rigid valuation for a player (you will get bargains but you'll also miss out) and players understandably wanting to play for CL sides when we aren't prepared to spunk a massive wage on them as a bribe.. been burnt on that before
