Signing those type of players would be an utter disaster.
Past it premier league war horses who would be on a stupid wage and completely impossible to move on again one we get relegated. Those are the type of signings that drag a club down.
Ole had a bit of Mourinho type way of signing players, "I've seen him on match of the day and he looked alright so I'll sign him!"

There was no structure to his signings and add to that he was irresponsible (along with Choo and Dalman) in the way players were given large and long contracts which crippled us for years.
