    Oh ok, my mistake! Whenever I've seen him, which admitedly is not that often and mostly in the pre-season games so far, he has played Centre Back. More importantly though he has always looked composed and assured.

    And yes I completely agree another centre back is needed. But one centre back would be enough. 2 seems like just making signings for the sake of it to me. Realistically cannot see Adkins signing 2 new centre backs.

    Morgan could probably do a good job at CB if needed as well. I say just bring one in.

    Our very own Javi Martinez. I like it.

    Not sure i'd like to see Schneiderlin making his debut as a centre back against a premier league attack...

    Agreed plus we need him in mid-field. Need an experienced premier league centre half!

    If anyone in our midfield could do a decent job at CB it would be Chaplow. Morgan is not strong enough to be a good defender nor does he win enough headers.

    At this level we don't want to play mid-fielders as make-shift defenders. We need specialists!
