Centre-back

Didnt somebody say pellegrini was at anfield today who was he watching i wonder?

My wishlist says Coutinho,they can have Nasri and Garcia in part ex.

Nasri are you daft

nasty is back, and can play alongside Garcia or Lescott

I don't think Kompany will be out for long. I am actually quite relieved. At the time I was quite a long way from the incident and I assumed his calf had gone again, but this is a groin injury. We don't know how severe it is, but he did walk off. Hoping it's just a minor tear, and 2 weeks max

I'd hope we can cope against Cardiff but its a real worry now,we have to sign a mobile/agile,ball playing reinforcement asap as the lads that occupied the spots at 90mins lack the quality to carry us through a season of top competition.

This is our warning to do something while the chance is still there,i'm just not sure who fits the bill?

Nasty trained at the ground with the rest of the squad on Sunday night.

Hopefully he'll be back soon and Kompany's injury isn't serious according to his twitter.

Walking off after a groin strain/tear is hardly an ever an issue. The problem is usually manifest in the inability of the injured player to kick a ball. The way Kompany clutched his groin the second the injury occurred wasn't good and I will be delighted if he's back in 2 weeks

Not sure if anyone has already mentioned the name but I'm pretty sure Thomas Vermaelen would do a job for us. Can fill in at LB if neccessary.

Looks like he is out of favour at Arsenal and if he can get back to the level he was at 2-3 years ago we would have a cracking CB on our hands.

I actually think we should move for Godin or we should move for the Greek at Schalke. Both would cost not much more than Athletico want for a 32yr old free transfer.

Atleti would probably want around 10m for Godin and Schalke near 20 for Papadopoulos. Also, don't forget that Demichelis was in the La Liga team of the season last season, Godin was not.

 

[GazM]

This is a must now (I'm sure it was before Kompany's injury tbh). We have to be realistic though - whoever comes in is playing second fiddle to Vinny & Nasty so it's likely to be someone at the tail-end of their career who isn't expecting to play or someone younger willing to bide their time.

I think i'ts pretty much nailed on that we'll have a new centre-back by the end of the transfer window. We still havn't replaced Kolo.
