Carlos Cuellar

[Simba]

No coincidence to me that we look far more confident with Carlos in the central position. Even Warnock ( who seems to respond to praise) looks better, as does Collins and so does the thug who is now venturing forward with confidence.

Good Spine player and possible Captain. FGS keep him.

[villan from luton]

He is the best defender at the club, amazing no one has given him a run at centre back. Hope he stays, but wont blame him if he goes as has been treated awfully by the club, yet doesnt have a bad word to say about it.

Just read on BBC gossip column that Valencia are interested in Cuellar.

Why don’t we stop messing about and just get him signed up to a new deal. We've look much better at the back recently with Carlos at CB.

[Dave]

Hope he doesn't go anywhere.

But best of luck to him if he does.

[N'ZMAV]

We do need to keep him, but we also need more quality at centre back. He is good, but he isn't the answer. Clark maybe.

[villanic]

I'd quite like to see Clark and Cuellar together.

I'm sure we would be able to keep him, if we simply paid him what he wants, which isn't our motus operandi right now!

I don't think Clark and Cuellar would make a good pairing.  However, either playing as the cover behind a more physical CB would be fine.  That's Collins at the moment, who I'd keep as cover, with a new starting CB coming in to be Carlos' regular partner.  Clark should get enough game time between CB and DCM.

Dunne to go.

Can't blame him if he wants to end his career in his own country,but we need him more than the other defenders we've got,and we haven't got the money to replace them,which is a worry.

[Phil from the upper holte]

needs to improve his passing but a great defender

[Oscar Arce]

He's off in the Summer I'm afraid.
Agreed he is the best defender at the club.

[JUAN PABLO]

spot on ..if he cut that out he would be a top top player

Our board are good at making the wrong decisions - don't worry, he'll be off soon and I don't blame him. Nice one Randy - another one off the wage bill!

[Risso]

He's the best of a bad lot possibly, but he's isn't a great defender.

[MarkM]

And he will be replaced with......

Well McL is saying he wants to add strength in order to give us greater strength in depth.

According to reports he has looked at both Giant Haystacks and Bid Daddy, the Aston Villa manager was quoted saying "Well both will add great strength and depth, they wont be very mobile but should be able to block really well!"

Asked which he prefered McL said "Well both have there merits, but I think that Big Daddy would be a crowd pleaser, so I am going for Giant Haystacks"

Agreed. He certainly isn't Great. Like McGrath was, and Laursen and probably even Southgate to an extent.
