Our centre back situation

[pedro25]

Corluka for Beye and I'd be happy with our defensive options, Dunne, Collins, Clark, Warnock, Young, Corluka, Lichaj, Baker, Lowry and even Herd/Delph in emergencies.

[UsualSuspect]

Beye is shit and quite content to sit on his arse and get his money for another season.

What club in their right mind is going to take on a defender who is 34 in october and on 42k per week??

[Concrete John]

I'm just hoping someone will take one at £20k a week.  Even if we give him away and make up the balance of his salary, that's £1m saved.

John IIRC Ipswich wanted him back in January but he refused. This is his last season in the big time so who in their right mind would give up 2 million quid??

My argument is that if we make up whatever short fall his wages would have due to the move, then he wouldn't miss out at all.  And in ur benefit we effectively 'save' whatever the new club pays him, which for a an experienced PL player should be around £1m a year.

However, if he doesn't care about playing football at all and would rather sit on his arse, then we're fucked either way!

[MoetVillan]

i think we sue Beye and his agent as selling a service under false pretences.

Scott Dann for me please

 Thing is with Dann he is a left footed CB, we have Dunne who prefers to play LCB and also Clark who is a left footed CB. So if we buy Dann, Clark wouldnt get a game and either Collins or Dunne would start to cause unrest due to lack of games. I think a fullback is more needed imo.

[Matt Collins]

I'm not sure dann is left footed. It doesn't sound like there's a cat in hell's chance anyway.

I'd love to know why he hasn't yet signed for Stoke.  Just adds fuel to the fire and gives me some hope!!

[Karl Bridges]

Dann is left footed. Looks like Carlos is going to turn down Rangers anyway.

So we shouldnt sign a better centre back than Collins or Dunne because either one might get the arsehole over it,is that what your saying ?
After last season' performances both on and off the pitch,the pair of them should have there contracts ripped up,payed off and sent out the door with there tails well and truly between there legs
Threatened a true legend of our club with physical violence,one was heard to gloat in the players bar after a home defeat "he thought it was funny,and at least it pushes the manager closer to the sack"
Both Richard Dunne and James Collins are awful,awful footballers,and most of the goals we conceeded last season were down to them pair in my opinion,Ciaran Clark has been lorded on this thread and rightly so,but i really dont think he is ready
to shoulder the massive responsibility of leading the back four,which is what basically a centre hal does.

[Maradona10]

Not worried at all by a defence, Even last year it was more down to with how they were organised. However for me midfield is a big big problem.

[PaulWinch again]

If we sell Cuellar, we have to sign a centre back.

[GJH]

Think Dunne will play better with his mate behind him.
