If we were prepared to pay £20 million for Pepe and will now get DeMichelis for free or a nominal fee to free him from his Malaga contract does this now mean we have the cash to sign Coentrao and can let Kolarov leave. We need an upgrade on Kolarov, we need a player to give Clichy some competition and he's younger. Less wages and Madrid supposedly want to sell him, and he can replace both Kolarov and Sinclair on the left wing if need be.
Could this now happen if we sign DeMichelis ?

was just about to post this mate! would certainly make the deal abit sweeter if we get demichelis and coentrao. as you say could be left back,left wing back,left midfield or even left wing! lets swoop in and get these 2 done.

Marcelo maybe their No.1 left back....but like us, they need two left backs
because ancelotti has already confirmed that he can go?

As his Malaga contract expired, he is able to switch teams even if he did sign for Atletico.
He's had a brilliant season last year and was massive vs Dortmund in the QF of the CL. Rightly chosen in la Liga's Team of the Year. Either he is into his 2nd youth, or Pellegrini did the trick like he did at Villareal with Senna who became a Spanish international at 33.
He's mainly coming in as a back up and a replacement for Kolo who was a back-up as well. However a backup that wanted to play regularly and thought he was better than Kompany. Kolo did had a good season last year when he played, I must admit.

Every player we've signed this summer has been shit according to some, so why change the record with De Michelis.
He's shit obviously because he's not costing 50m, and that Manuel Pellegrini knows fuck all when buying players.

Very true Richards, and even if we signed the messi or ronaldos of this world then they would probably end up been shit too. I'd have Demichelis, experienced, cheap, MP knows him and vice versa.

Solid enough defender, who will provide good cover. What I don't understand though, if we are intending to persist with the high defensive line thing, is why we're buying a centre half who couldn't outpace Lescott........

Playing an high line is a matter of right positioning not of pace; if you are chasing your opponent it's because something went wrong

Kolo struggled at Premiership level and was at best a squad player
He could be basing it on Kolo was brilliant last season, can you name one mistake Kolo made last year? what's wrong with having a "squad player"? Chelsea, Arsenal, the rags have all had "squad players"

And I reckon that at least 50% of the goals we concede are from set pieces, or set pieces that haven't been properly cleared. High line or not, we still need a physical presence in our penalty area, especially when VK is out.

I think the issue with Kolo was his wages, he'll have been on £100k or so a week, which is a hell of a lot for a backup centre half. No idea what Liverpool are paying him, but his wages will still be pretty high.

And so far, it has been Vincent who has been caught out ballwatching anyhow.

Vincemt has his faults but Lescott is in grave need of his leadership, Lescott has to be lead.

That makes no sense to me at all. By playing a high line you run the risk of a pacy striker getting behind you no matter what your positional sense is. How do you plan to counter it then, blocking ?
