An interesting target, reminds me of Pepe a bit. If he is a player Bobby wants, I will trust his judgement.

That's what I find confusing about this. I assume Bobby wants a deep play making CB like Thiago. I do think Skrtel is a step up from Lescott (I know that isn't a popular point on here) but I don't think he is the kind of CB Bobby is looking for. I say we go all out for Silva. With him we have a CL winning back 5.

Silva would be ideal, but signing him from AC Milan would be extremly difficult.

Money talks. If they are asking for 40 mil, I would expect they may take 35. For me that is worth it to have the best defense in the League and one of the top 2-3 in all of Europe. If somehow they would take Tevez and 10 mil, that would be immense for the club.

If we signed silva, i think we would have the best cb pairing in europed for the next 7-8 years. clichy has a shout as a top, top lb too.

I like both him and Agger, they're best part of Liverpool. Don't think it's realistic he'd come here, it would mean him or Lescott on the bench and I can't see any of that happening.

On reflection I can actually kinda see this one happening. I think Lescott would accept a rotation/squad role. He probably expected that to become the case at some point when he joined a club with the ambitions and financial abilities of ours. I don't think he's the sort to spit the dummy out at all.

I'm not sure Mancini would do it. Kompany and Lescott had a great partnership last season, I doubt he would mess with it.

Lescott has been brilliant for us this season. I get the feeling that he is a rhythm and confidence player and you get the best out of him when he plays week in, week out - but I guess you could say that about most players!
 
Think he'd be a decent enough signing. Big, strong and proven in the Prem which at least takes some of the risk out of a signing. He would definitely give good competition to Lescott which I think is desperately needed. Would have been much happier this season if we'd had Skrtel in the squad instead of Savic, let's put it that way.
