[PSR]

If the S**ttu or Whitbread transfer doesn't come off where do we start to look for that big dominating defender that is most urgently needed NOW?

There doesn't seem to be many names coming to the fore right now and I would only hope that once the Premiership season gets underway their might be a few floaters that realise they won't be getting a game and might just want to get away - either on loan or permanent.

Ideas on a post card please.

I think we'll have to do what we did towards the tail end of last season when we had to get in McSheffrey, Blackstock and Osbourne in - look to the loan market.

If we can coax someone in for a deal till xmas, we cover all injuries and we also have an option to buy.

I hope to god BD has something up his scottish sleeve here.

 

[Tutts]

Centre half on loan till January would be very useful.

Possibly after this weekend when the Prem starts and defenders find they're not in their managers first team plans, their agents might be pushing through some moves.

Givent he publicising of Wilson's injury, and Chambers red card on Saturday, any defender we were in for has just had his price hiked up by a few hundred thousand.

Ah shit, yeah.

Bloody hell!

Was thinking that last night, not good!

Davies & the acquisition panel have a lot of work to do today and tomorrow.

Otherwise, I feel we might be embarrassed by Bradford on Weds.

I just hope BD & the club have a plan, becauseif not we could be in real trouble.

At the moment we have Lynch, Morgan & Gunter. IF Gunter picks up an injury in Wednesday, then WTF are we going to do.

It might sound abit OTT, but imo we definatly need defenders in before Saturday. Otherwise i can see us getting tonked. (I'm not really fussed about the Bradford game).

I had faith in the defenders until we brought in other additions.....but these injuries could be our downfall if soemthing isn't done soon. All that hard work and good business in the Summer could all go down the pan.

I'm just hoping we get somehting done!!

Has PSR, Capello, Shanks etc....have any info on who we could be looking at!?

Fingers crossed lads!!

What I have heard is that the club are very much p!ssed off about rumours coming out of the City Ground, and because of this it is hindering us when dealing with other clubs.

I know strong words have been spoken within the club and I suspect this is why we are hearing nothing.

Gunters away with Wales, or do you mean if he gets injured whilst playing for them?

I'm hoping that we sign BOTH S**ttu and Whitbread today! Them combined with Big Wes would be a decent enough pot of center backs for me (Chambers and Wilson aren't up to it in my opinion).

For the Bradford game I could see Diagne and Fiarclough starting at the back next to Wes and Lynch, just for Billy to see if he's up to it incase we are still short by the time we play WBA.

 

[The Maniacal Megatron]

It would be good to see a couple of young lads getting a game on Wednesday.

We will probably see a completely different line up that was out on Saturday.

[/quote]Let's hope that if he has to play either or both of these players we might un-earth another little gem. ;D

Good.

Put bluntly, with all due respect to the various 'sources' - about time too.

 

[BrickTop]

Im sure Zak Whitbread has just recently signed for Millwall?

[edit]
Just checked and he is transfer listed after turning down an offer to discuss a new contract.

 

[king_congo_red]

If we're after a loan, I'd like to suggest James Chester at Manchester United. Had a short loan spell at Peterborough United last year, which was cut short by an unfortunate injury. Looked very, very comfortable at League 1 level in a questionable defence, quite a tall lad, good in the air, very calm and unfazed.

 

[earthworm]

So is this the thread with the blinkers still on? Woohoo, European Cup win again within 5 years, because 5 year plans never fail.

yep good call he does look a very good player , i wasn't too worried about our lack of defensive signings but it only takes a couple of absentees to make us look paper thin again so i'm really hoping we get a couple in before the end of august. got my tickets for west brom today and very excited and optimistic about the coming season , this league is wide open !

 

[It's Baggio]

Another young one worth looking at; Martin Kelly, a tall centre half at Liverpool who was apparently excellent at Huddersfield last season.

 

[Dorset Red]

Know or have concluded?

 

[Spring Heeled Jack]

Sol Campbell?

I suggest trying Base Soccer Agency LTD first. They gave us McKenna and Camp. They also took Commons but cest la vie. Some decent lads are with them... Martin Taylor, Birmingham City, centre back. about 600k. These are agents, not web places.
