    With the following still available, should we wait til Alex Bruce is moved out on loan to act?

    Kilgallon (loan)
    Campbell (free)
    Wilson (loan)

    The money is available from Kasper & Max sales so no need to wait for Bruce to be loaned out.
    Get all three in ASAP.

    What about Carlos Cuellar at Villa. Returning from injury this season and wanted away in the summer, perhaps a loan move to Leeds would be ideal for both the player, Villa & Leeds?

    Get him in as well,if we end up with 10 CB's in the squad surely even Grayson can work out a successful permutation from that lot.

    Not a centre back, but just watched Frazer Richardson play for Southampton, what about a return to ER for Richardson, as our regular right back?

    What about Grayson not letting him go in the first place?

    Frazer got loads of stick off our fans anyway.

    He's not done bad since he left, has he? He was out injured for a while, too.

    Then who would you get in? Remember we can only get non-attached or emergency loans.

    Its during the summer sg should have addressed this but of course with the ****e contracts Leeds were offering, we cpuldnt attract anyone worthwhile. Might as well stick with what weve got if we cant get better. And if you people think Paddy K is slow, what would you expect from Campbell?

    He's currently sitting on the sofa with Paul Ince on Sky Sports 1, and looks comfortable, I would suggest this is where he should stay.

    I agree that in the summer we should have secured more cover at the back. However I thought O'Brien and Paddy would have been top class together this year.
    Ideally we should have paid the 1 million to Rochdale for Craig Dawson last year but thats life.

    We need to either play Bruce or bring in some cover, as Bromby is a right back not a Centre Back.

    we missed out on collins on loan from stoke, he went to ipswich, would have been good for us

    I would like to see Killa back, a left footed Centre Back who would work well with Lees

    I'd like to pass on to the Leeds scouts, this chap, he's 19 and already looks the part. A centre back and can also play right back. This guy has a brilliant future if the right club comes in for him and helps his development.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_de_Vrij

    Also, if a no nonsense centre back is required, then they don't come much better (within our price range and salary) than this chap, he's comfortable on the ball and can take the ball forward and up to the midfield area, without fear:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Vertonghen

    There is also this chap, he's got the ability and is 100% better than the players we have in the centre back role just now, so worth a punt:

    Clean the ****ing lot out except for Kisnorbo, Lees, Conolly and White. Get a new defensive coaching team, get new LB x 2, CB x 2, and RB. Make sure all players are equal to/better than the players we already have and make them work more with the midfield in training. Get Kisnorbo working on his wrong foot. Get White playing on the left wing and showing everyone what he's all about. Get him training on running at full backs and we're laughing.

    The more I watch Sol Bamba at Leicester, the more I am impressed with this guy, what a pity he's just signed a new contract with Leicester.

    We couldn't get him anyway. They wouldn't sell and we wouldn't pay his wages. Why would they sell one of their regular first teamers?
