Philippe Senderos

[brian green]

Senderos is where we are as a club now.   Better get used to it.   

[Witton Warrior]

He's played for Arsenal, Milan, Everton, Valencia and now Villa. Not bad teams.

2 league appearances for Everton, 5 for Valencia, 14 for Milan. His injury record worries me, especially considering how our luck is with them.

Charlie needs company and they will both be able to speak french , I think .

Whether he signs or not won't make a difference. It's a free and a squad player. Like I said it's along the lines of a James Collins; i.e nothing special. What we need urgently is 4 or 5 top starting quality players and that won't happen until the sale is complete.

Oh yeh, let's go and sign 4 or 5 top quality players, like who!!. Tel you what lets go for that geezer from Bayern at centre back, why not go for Messi and while were at it let's sign fucking Ronaldo as well. Get real were are not a club that can attract top quality players. We need more experience in defence and that's what Senderos will bring. For Christ sake give the guy a chance.

I think you need to read TV's post again, especially the last line.

I did read the last line. I,m talking about now, not some unknown time in the future. Does TV know we're being taken over in the next few weeks. A takeover could take months, well into next season. So until that happens we ain't gonna sign top quality players.

That's exactly what he said.

[brian green]

I think TV appreciates that this is a containment exercise.   The point I believe he is trying to make is a good one, namely that there must be a better plan to be implemented at some time in the future.   We have too much form for reactive action and if we are ever to be worthy of our history we must become proactive again.

So until were taken over and all the top quality players start rolling in, who do you suggest we sign who is better and would improve the team. Or do we do nothing and go into next season with the current playing staff in the hope we get taken over.

I'm happy enough with Senderos, where have I said that i'm not?

Of all the people you want to have a go at for not giving someone a chance I'm probably the last one. You have taken several swings at this and missed every time.

All I have said is that while the arrival of Senderos doesn't fill me with endless joy, I appreciate that he is coming in mainly as a back up, given that most would agree Okore and Vlaar to be the starting CB pairing. And until such time we get taken over we likely won't see the types of player we really need to propel us forward. The fact remains however, we need 4 or 5 quality additions if we want to have any level of success next season.

Are you sure?

[brian green]

I am happy with Senderos.   He will do a job for us of that I have no doubt.   Criticize other posters and their opinions by all means but not for things they have not said.

[Olneythelonely]

But TV wasn't complaining about this signing.

Are you sure?

Yes. Mainly because he hasn't complained about anything. Ever.

Ok I concede. TV was not complaining he was just not "overjoyed" at the signing. Let's hope for the sake of the club Senderos can bring a little joy to us all.

He can play Full back too so versatile . When we need physicality and height at the back we may line up
