I always found it strange we never used the Cuellar signing as a model to sign players in the time since.
Carlos if memory serves me correct cost us in the region of 2.75 million and we sold him for close to 8 million a season later after he absolutely strolled it in Scottish football and the majority of the European games he played for us.
Bearing in mind we picked him up from osasuna who were a lower half la liga team at the time I always found it strange we never really followed that path in terms of signings, especially centre halves as there must almost definitely be players of a similar ilk currently plying their trade in la liga with the teams out with the big boys who don't really pay massive wages anyway that would likely love the chance to play in front of 50000 fans every other week with the obvious view to potentially move south of the border eventually.
