    I didnt think we had enough depth at CB and that was BEFORE Carra got injured.

    All it takes is one more and we're truly buggered.

    Why do you think Rafa was so keen on Heinze?

      To be honest, if worst came to worst I would still feel confident with an Agger-Arbeloa partnership at the back.

      Two ball-playing center backs
      Makes a bit of a change from the H&H/Pellegrino days doesn't it?!

        I agree. We're desparate for CB cover.

          I wouldn't. Lack of aggression in that department may be problem.
          Two good players but there no Sami or Carra like in terms of the physical stuff.

            Rafa wanted Heinze just to pi$$ the scum off

            Hyypia can play with a broken nose so himself and Agger can do the job for now. Arbeloa can play wherever Rafa asks so theres another cover for CB. If we were to spend money on a player it would be just for a few weeks until Carras back so maybe a loan for a month or two would do. But I really think the cover is fine, especially with the not-so-difficult fixtures coming up
            Contrary to popular belief, I have huge genitals.

              If Hyypia or Agger gets injured (or Arbeloa even) we're screwed.


              Think of it like a jigsaw - there's a small gap that needs filling.

                Agreed.

                We're desperately short of quality cover at centre back and we need to make a signing to address that before the end of the transfer window.

                  Who then? Any realistic back-up centre back options out there?

                  Can Chiellini play centre back? I think he can...?

                    He played as a central defender for Juve last season.
                    Just believe and you never know what will happen.

                    According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

                            No jamo, I was starting to think I was though

                            Do people on here realise that he actually IS a centre half? we only play him at full back because he is so good on the ball?

                              I would...just. Only problem, it would mean Riise slotting in at left back. I would prefer a quality centre back coming in as cover and Arbeloa remaining at left back.

                                He is a good central defender, at least in La Liga but his weakness is in the air and Toulouse has Elmander upfront who is excellent in the air. We need Hyypia to play or we will get big problems at set pieces.
