    Suggestions!?
    Left sided and quick....
    Shane lowry, liam ridgewell. Kilgallon, antony gardner, leon barnett, Danny Wilson, gohouri/figueroa.
    Some more realistic than others...

    If Danny Wilson is prepared to drop to the Championship, he would be perfect. He has said he would go out on loan...but the Championship may be a stretch.

    It seems really hard to get a real quality CB these days. We're lucky we've got one in Fonte. I have no problem in giving Seaborne and Martin a chance and possibly trying in January if we still feel another CB is needed.

    If Martin or Seaborne come through the Leicester City game well, and don't look out of their depth then we should stick with them for the time being. Don't want to rush buy a CB 4 too much cash!

    I've heard that there is a European being lined up for a 6 month loan. But no doubt this is about one of 5 other options and in all liklihood probably wont come off if we've got options to purchase.

    Figueroa is a left-back and was rumoured with top Prem clubs if I remember.

    Andre Bikey wants to leave Burnley, well worth a punt IMO. Some will say too many from Burnley, but I really rate the guy.

    100% with this suggestion! If only it were possible, but IMO there are Premiership clubs who would have first 'dibbs'.

    I can't say I am surprised that Saints pulled out of the deal with Fontaine, given his long term ankle problems. Do you think the club shot themselves in the foot, if it is true that Gorkss was told he wasn't wanted because we had someone else in mind? It does leave us with few options now, with only 7 days left. I have just seen Gorkss with the Reading manager and chairman and he looks HUGE!!

    Kilgallon for me. If Adkins could get him back to his best, he is a top, top Championship defender and he is left footed...

    Absolutely NOT. No way on Earth do I want Danny Higgingbotham back. Fine player, who beat himself, too often, to let a striker through to score

    Probably end up with a loanee now. I bet NC's gone to lie down in a darkened room..but better not to sign a player on the off-chance his ankle might hold out!

    Well NA was right about Gorkks ... Not pretty enough! We'd lose 10,000 female fans and Fran and Jen would stop posting on here!

    We should go for a centre back that actually wants to join us, and one that we actually want to sign! 4th time lucky maybe...
