    If we sign a top left back and move santon over to the right....We could have a first team that could actually get a champions league spot.... (emphasis on COULD)

    I dont think we will be challenging top 4

    I would be fine with a 7th and content with top 10

    Feel free to suggest who we should sign at left back????


    Ashley should come to this board

    CB is a priority, and Simpson has improved a lot this season, see how he gets on in the second half. Better than splashing another 10 million on a player who might not be much better.

    There can only be one fantastic hairdo in the team and that is for Coloccini, its in his contract.

    Simpson has got better this season and plus, Santon and Gutierrez look brilliant together on the left.

    I think cover/excellent CB coming in is more of a priority. Take colo or willo out due to injury or suspension and the defence suddenly looks a lot less safe

    Love to get Pieters who can also play CB and left mid but suspect a cover CB will be what we go for and to be fair Simpson, Raylor and Willo have done well this season and are all improving. Would prefer a left footer at LB though but not expecting it to happen at least in this window.

    I agree, they have all improved.

    Ferguson can cover at lb as a last resort anyway.


    I guess we just need one young promising centre back to act as cover and we have a pretty much complete squad of decent players

    Yohan Benalouane seems most likely at the minute, along with this Rhys Williams that I haven't ever seen.

    From all the stuff on show about Yohan he looks like a less skillfull Coloccini. Always cool and composed. You'll not find many CBs with as much flair as Colo though!

    Personally would have Cissokho, though however the main need is a centre back as they would be inadequate cover if Coloccini or Williamson got injured, remember when Coloccini, S.Taylor and Williamson were all out against Norwich we lost 4-2 and our centre back pairing was Perch and our right back Simpson.

    I don't think MA is going to sign someone called Pi Eters. He wants all the pie for himself!!
