That's a very good point actually, oft. Mexes doesn't look like the sort that will take quickly to London life and the Premier League, even if I do think he's a decent enough player, especially as 3rd/4th choice.
Would just love us to sign Gary Cahill. We know exactly what we're getting, and he'd be ready to go. If Bolton are willing to deal for a semi-reasonable amount of money, we've got to get it done.
