Lucio?

[Plain Speaking]

He is the sort of quality we need in the squad. We nearly met with disaster when VK was suspended last season. It's a pity he's not younger but some experience, competition and cover will be invaluable when we have a full fixture programme next season. If his legs are not gone he sounds a very good shout.

If we want 3rd/4th choice CB we could sign Tomas Sivok. 28 years old, will become a free agent this Sunday, did play for Udinese and Besiktas where he earned less than 15k p/w so he'd be really cheap. And he's in talks with Everton, Fulham, Southampton, Wigan, Sevilla and Valencia now.

It's not 2006 anymore, we aren't shopping in the bargain bin for mid-table players.

Yes, but it's not possible to have 4 top centre-backs. We have 2 now but Kolo is slow and Savic is just awful so if they'll leave we'll need 2 CBs.

Kolo is a lot of things but 'slow' isn't one of them.

And Norwich at home?

We can use Richards as a CB and there is no guarantee that someone with a background in the Czech and Turkish league would be any better than Savic or even Boyata who is a decent CB (but a poor RB).

Yes but what if Zaba will be injured? Clichy is a LB for me. Rekik is class but still needs more experience.

In the small chance one of our main CBs and Zaba are injured at the same time then yes we have to use another CB, but this we can still do better than a mid-table 28 year old who has never played in a league even close to the quality of England's.

Pity if true!
Juve snapped up Pirlo too who is only a year younger! The Euros have shown world class quality players do not "lose it" overnight. He could have done a good job for us in the short term I'm convinced.
