    You can have him after his last few displays

    Caulker would be my first choice of them, still very young for a centre half (22), and impressed me whenever i have seen him. I was suprised we werent in for him during the summer.
    Adam Johnson has looked good recently, and is showing the promise that made Man City sign him, but i do wonder if this is down to it being world cup year. Hasnt done much until the last few months.
    Quite like Redmond, would be good to have on the bench and used as an impact sub, and his price and wages would be a lot cheaper than Johnson.
    Not very keen on any of the forwards listed, think we could and need to get better than most of them.

    Please take him, even if we don't - especially if we don't <laugh>

    I say Kacaniklic a lot, not that he would be signing of the season, but he's a young international, got a bit of PL experience and different to what we have at the moment. Poch might be able to rustle up something better from abroad though.

    Berahino, Caulker, Mannone and a winger for the Summer, but none of these wingers appeal to me hugely.

    Actually, tell a lie, Gary Medel is a good player. Not sure whether he'd fit in though.

    I could be wrong, but as far as I am are, Kasper's contract is up this summer. So even if Leicester do come up (and they surely will), there will still be every opportunity for other clubs to come in and take him.

    He's got that bulldog quality about him. Plays in a Chile team whose style is right up our street. His hot-headedness could be a problem though.

    I liked him and Riether a lot last season, but not so much this season.

    As a rule though we should improve our depth by bringing in players to compete with the first team and upgrade. I want any incoming player to be an improvement on our existing player.

    That's a double negative.

    I might have blanked it from my mind, but I don't recall him being in any trouble since his arrival in the premier league. I remember seeing those clips of him beating up patio furniture in Spain.
    Lovren got sent off three times in France and came with a warning, but yesterday was the closest he has come to a red and that was one for the team.

    Seems only Osvaldo has successfully continued his reputation.

    True. Maybe not Poch's type.

    I laughed too hard.

    I think you can rest more than slightly assured
    That your place is safe as can be,
    The table would need to be shaken and stirred
    For you to fall out of the tree. :)

    Caulker and Berahino would be at the top of my list, though WBA might not be terribly interested in selling even if they do go down.
