Centre-back

[George Hannah]

Clear as day they are conspiring to undermine our targets. Barca, Madrid, PSG, Chelski and even the Swampies take turns to sabotage our bids.
Thick as thieves all of them - UEFA are very pleased with their handiwork.

I'm glad to hear that. Just don't argue with yourself though. That's the first sign of madness [a common trait amongst forum users]!

No chance in hell Soriano would give the go ahead to spending €30m on a 31 year old. Won't happen. Just press speculation.

Everyone's jumped off Virgil Van Dijk I take it?

the Dutch are quite surprised that Virgil van Dijk (Celtic) or Douglas (Dinamo Moscow) haven't been called up and there are a lot of Eredivisie players in the squad.....

Louise picked Rekik ahead of him for the provisonal WC squad

Rekik said if we signed another center back he would want a move .....

Getting him and a fit Nastastic to go with Kompany and MDM is surely enough ......we can use the money elsewhere like a left winger

I agree with this - unless there is something wrong with Nasty that we are unaware of, I would rather take a shot at getting him back into the team that blowing the whole net-spend allocation this year on a CB. With the latter, you either overspend for an older guy (i.e. Pepe) or overspend for a prospect who may not even be as good as Nasty (i.e. Mangala.)

Benatia every day of the week - and I would not rule that out. Roma will get to the point where getting 30 mil for him is a better proposition than getting nothing and we might be able to snatch him yet. Just need to be patient.

Seems like this is a pretty deep position for us at the EDS level, and maybe that is a facotr in looking at Pepe or someone like that as a shorter-term expedient.
