Enjoyed that article, didn't think I would...
"That was when CNN reported: “Mbemba was registered by his two first Congolese clubs as being born in 1988, according to documents obtained by CNN. Yet for a Cup of Nations qualifier in June 2011, his year of birth was listed as November 30, 1991.
Meanwhile, the birth date recorded by his Belgian club Anderlecht is August 8, 1994
Just to complicate matters, Mbemba himself, thinks he was born in 1990
Mbemba, 20, 23, 25 or 27 wants the move too."

I'd say it's also about who else you bring in to address your defensive (and to an extent wing and midfield) deficiencies.
Agree totally. We've been awful at the back for years now and (next to) fuck all's been done about it.

I guess you have signed Mbemba and he comes with a good reputation but he's very inexperienced (regardless of his real age
) for that position and it's a huge risk.

Not in this case. Last seasons maybe but not this summer. For once we may have gotten better players.

Lens is rated the same as Wijnaldum on Fifa ( I know I know, but it's a neutral observation)

Again, can't disagree with any of that. He appears to be highly rated but plenty of highly rated players just haven't done it in the PL. Jury is out until they've played at least 20 games.

I liked the last line....
"It would be a dream come true for the player to join a Premier League club. He would think it was his birthday, or at least one of them."
Judging by the comments, I still don't think people have actually read the article and just presumed its content
