Always thought chasing Fonte was an absolute waste of time and effort.

might have been a smoke screen to divert attention from our real target!!!

I hope so, don't want to wait too long before we get a centre back in.

 

[EldonBluebird]

According to some a centre back will be announced next week along with 2 others !

 

[Pontypoolbluebird]

Not sure on what you all think but think Danny Gabbidon could still do a job at this level and still has pace. Believe he's a free agent as well. Has experience and provide good back up or even starting

Looking close to a decision now....................

Regardless of whether we get another CB in, still think it would be a mistake to sell Huds

 

[hampshire Blue]

I agree. I think we need him as back up and as club captain helping to hold it all together.

 

[ninian opinion]

Keep him as a back up (albeit an expensive one given his wages but City do have parachute payments for this very reason) but IMO he's a better bet as a CB at this level than Cala, who is a terrible defender.

Connolly and Turner would be a good partnership.

 

[BluefromBridgend]

Agree about keeping Hudson.

As I said before, why on earth would anyone consider joining Fed Karno's Army at Leeds. They and Blackpool are at risk of becoming the jokes of the division.

 

[Jay-Rede]

I like Huds.. But we all know it's Turner and Cala this year

 

[BluefromBridgend]

Not if Keane comes in. Could even go with 3 cb's then and 2 wingbacks. Might be more suited to the skills of the players we have.

 

[Stevoldinho]

I think that statement massively underestimates Connolly.

 

[Oldsparkey]

I think that statement massively underestimates Connolly.

Agreed. He's a far better CB than RB where he was used a lot by MM and we never saw the best of him with Huds and Ben holding down the central spots.

 

[DaiJones]

I'd get rid of Turner before Hudson.

 

[Oldsparkey]

Alternative to Keane?

Hmmmm, hasn't played much first team football and nothing in the Prem. Liverpool reportedly paid £8m for him in September 2013 but he has never got beyond the subs bench to the pitch and was loaned out to Granada in January.

Would he be a first choice (as I think Keane would have to be under his loan terms) or extra cover for Hudson/Turner/Cala/Connolly?

 

[Stevoldinho]

I don't think anyone should be bought in on a 'first team' basis. If that's Utd's terms then we need to go elsewhere. I remember Liverpool signing him, at £8m odd he must have shown some pretty significant promise at some point in his young career!!

well we paid more for cornelius

 

[Stevoldinho]

well we paid more for cornelius

And Liverpool paid £35m for Carrol so I guess you're right. The transfer fee can be totally meaningless

Don't think Rodgers has many total **** ups on his transfer CV though, maybe Ilori is his first..........
