I wouldn't buy a leg of lamb for roasting fom Aldi full stop. There meat is cheap for a reason. Cheaper cuts, fine. Braising, casseroling and stewing were developed to be used for poorer quality meat and lower grade cuts.
If I want a joint - and I rarely do, I would go to a good butcher or farmshop.
I cooked a gammon from one of our local farm shops in a slow cooker at Christmas. I put it on the lowest heat and let is cook for 24 hours. I cooked it in red wine and it fell apart like pulled pork and was so delicious we nearly didn't bother to cook the turkey.
