    Why 'trade'... we can just buy somebody without 'trading' a player..

    Can't see a big offer for him now he's 30 mate. Especially when he can't perform in the big games (Bar the occasional free kick)

    I don't mean about Naka mate, I was just wondering why it was felt we needed to 'trade' somebody to get in a defender... we should be able to just go and buy a good defender..
    Mind you, I would entertain a £3 million offer for Naka in the summer...

    We need a quick CB who can win his fair share in the air and organise a defence.If that means spending 3-4m then so be it.

    I think at his peak in last years CL run we may have been able to do a hutton with him and get 6 million or more from a daft EPL team who didnt know his limitations. He is basically a hole player and not suited to a 4-4-2. He has enough skill to get away with his weakness and shine in the SPL but not elsewhere. Cant deny he has been good in the SPL though and we have been much better with Naka back in the side. But I would swap him for wee shaun any time. Same skill and shooting power but with pace. Maybe koki will step up. He is meant to have pace. He is naturally left footed and i would like to play him left and Aidan right.

    we need a solid centre bak, and that shud b our green chip signin, spendin big in this position. if funds need to be raised i think 5 or 6 mill for naka would be nice. otherwise we dont want to sell anyone reallly.
