Not happy and this is a piss poor fee.

It goes without saying that we won't be getting a replacement in, and Nathan Baker isn't good enough to be one of the 4 centre halves.

Funny how things change, I remember when he joined lots of people thought he was a donkey.

How long does Carlos have left on his deal? 1 year?

When he played at right back, he was a donkey a lot of the time. But that's because he's a centre half.

Or maybe cuellar, as good a defender as he is, just doesn't click with either dune or Collins when being partnered with either of them

So Cuellar has 1 year left & he's never been a first team regular. £2m is probably about right, isnt it?

Collins and Dunne were a piss poor partnership for most of last season. Absolutely porous.

I didn't particularly rate either Collins, dunne or cuellar last season. Every time they got hold of the ball, my heart was in my mouth just waiting for some god almighty cock up to happen. If Dunne can come back to the form we saw in his first season we have a great defender there. Collins switches off to many times in a game for me.

But MON, Houllier and now McLeish seem to have cuellar down the pecking order. So we may as well cash in while we can

wait a second, cuellar is an ok player at best. Can you cast your minds back to the 2nd half of the season after martin laursen got injured? He and davies were calamitous! last 10 minutes of a game and we always conceded. did ok as defensive right back but has never commanded a regular place in our team. i would say he was a 6 out of 10 player at best!
all this bollocks about him being the best centre back at our club is ridiculous!

I thought it was Davies & Knight who played a lot of those games.

Mainly because MON fell out with Luke young

what makes you so sure of that with 6 weeks of the transfer window remaining?
