Who would be your ideal Centre back? (realistically)

i wouldn't be dissapointed if Balde and Mick were the short to medium term CH partnership.
while at every oppertunity (when we go up by 2 or more and comfortable) we blood our youngsters such as O'dae cuthbert and the other boy in the reserves, can't remember his name.

If that suits GS and Lawell it free's funds for other areas, such as a Celtic quality striker in the mould we've become accustomed.

 

Senderos is pure quality mate , he`d make micks job so much easier . he reads the game so well and can play from the back. my only prob with him is charlie * nicholas suggested him 1st lol

 

id basically say anyone who is:

• available for about 1-2mil
• 28+years old
• has CL or high level experience
• willing to come for low/medium wages
• can play in a number of positions i.e CB, LB, RB

​

 

wes brown... wages would cripple us.


realistic ideal centerback...dont know.
really is the main reasons we have scouts. we'll not be buying a proven cb in the prem or la liga, we'll buy a player that has been frozen out, or has fallen out with his club or something.
damaged goods so to speak

 

i think that will defo be the case but i think that may be a good thing as we desperately need experience (not elvis)

 

wot do u guys think (just a thought) !!!! maldini ?

 

NO

too old and woud never leave milan

 

maldini is retiring at the end of the season, stam is retired and who said mcgeady?
i think we have enough centre-backs. everyone wants a european quality CB but we are not a big european team. tough *.

 

A big european would do for a start. At least hed be a big diddy from europe as weve already got plenty scottish ones.

 

but at least our scottish ones know the language - well maybe not caldwell

 

dont u think that maldini (if we could get him) would teach mick odea kennedy so much about the game .that a 1 year contract would be amazing.

only think that with his experience and past history with our club that it could be feesible?

 

thats what the coaching staff are there for

 

so y r u here then ?

 

Hmm I thought I would think of a lot but I can only think of a few, and they're mainly from the Prem as that is what I mainly watch along with La Liga.

Samba - Balde-esque and young but Blackburn will be reluctant to sell
Djourou - From Arsenal but really young and inexperienced
Melberg - Prob Juventus bound

Which for me leaves J.Collins of West Ham and P.Scharner of Wigan as two gd CB's we can go for. To be honest though I'm sure there's some better quality CB's in Europe which hopefully will get spotted by our scouts, someone like Vidic would be exactly what we need.

 

Collins is a decent shout.Scharner never plays at CB thought does he?Right wing most of the time.I'd rather a specialised CB than a jack-of-all-trades like Scharner

 

To be honest Scharner players a different position everytime I see him so I couldn't really say what his real position is although Sky have him down as a defender.

 

That is the stupidest comeback I have ever heard.

 

How old is Senderos? Any time I`ve seen him he`s been *. Caught ball watchin alot and prone to sendings off and poor decisions. This was a year or 2 ago mind you so if he`s just turned 20 it wouldn`t seem so bad but I`ve never been impressed with him.
