I think we could do with a couple of players who are around 6'1" with at least 50 caps; one who can play left back or left sided centre half and the other who can play right back or right sided centre half. Ideally one of them would be married to a supermodel. That would be particularly nice...

Is this a hint, Iain? Hmm....

Just agreeing with rushscored4 mate and that we need that type of player/s with experience for cover for Carra, Agger etc, that's all mate

Its a sign of what we've become that we want to buy someone to cover the possibility that we lose two out of three of our first pick centre backs. Whats going on with the reserves?

Why would anyone come to us as a young player if even in a crisis we don't turn to them - remember the job Mellor did when we had a striker injury crisis?

We have Arbeloa who is capable of playing centre back in Spain - we have Jack Hobbs who has been groomed for this for two years - we've just bought the Spanish U19 cenral defender who can't be that bad

It would be ridiculously unlucky if we get three injured for more than a game and even then we have JAR who has filled in before. Buying someone would be ridiculous. Recall Antwi at worst?

I forgot about the Spanish U19 kid, could he do a Fabregas?

I think we will be signing one or two players who can cover anywhere across the back line. Perhaps someone who we've previously linked with and/or someone who is available.

Sounds like a lot of Chiellini to me.

Marquez anyone? He's apperantly out of favour at Barca, and is a good defender.

He's not you know.

Maybe Rafa will try and sign Ezequiel Garay again. Would be a great signing.

Seen him play a few times for Racing, he's quite young isn't he? Hits their free kicks, wouldn't be totally unhappy with him, although I feel someone with experience may be the answer

I think we'll sign someone but I won't be upset if we don't. I'm happy with what we've got TBH. Agger and Hypia and Arbeloa will do us fine for the 2 or 3 games Carra is out.
