Philippe Senderos

[Malandro]

I'm going wild with my prediction: he'll have some good games and some bad games.

I will take it a step further and say he'll do some things that make us think we got a steal and in the same game make us throw a teacup at the wall in anger and bewilderment. But mainly he'll be decent.

would he have improved our defence last year? I think so.

I'm not going to slit my wrists.

His lack of any sort of pace is his Achilles heel. As mentioned by others if he's sort of our 5th choice CB we shouldn't see much of him
Vlaar>Okore>Clark>Baker>Senderos / Donacien

I think to put him above Clark and Baker is wishful thinking and quite disrespectful to our own home grown lads. Some people seem desperate to see these two fail.

That maybe but lets face it, it is 100% true.  Baker will make a good championship centre back and Clark will never be a good centre back far too light weight.  We need to put him back in midfield he'd probably be better there.

I think we're going to need something a bit stronger than tea watching us next season.

So you have a full international playing at the WC behind Baker and Clark. Right...

I didn't say there was tea in the teacup

Clark is also a full international.

Playing at the World Cup?

I bumped into a Fulham supporting neighbour at midday. We were discussing the Footie and I was quizzing him about France v Switzerland and Senderos in particular (I didn't see the game).

He didn't even know we had signed Senderos but when asked about his form last season he thought long and hard and finally said "hapless".

Am sure his experience can be of use next season alongside better players......

The worry for me is if he doesn't end up being a squad player and ends up being first choice as with all the plaudits Vlaar is getting there will be teams coming in for him when he returns from the world cup.

[Le Lapin]

Give the lad a chance. He could be brilliant for us. Some serious clubs have taken a punt on him. He is an experienced player. We need a few of those. Maybe we are the club that makes his potential a reality. Himself, Vlaar(If he is not tapped up) and Okore will get us through this season.....Hopefully.

[Le Lapin]

Some serious clubs and Fulham I should have added.

[silhillvilla]

All ifs and buts at this stage . If vlaar leaves and Senderos is seen as his full on replacement then we could be in trouble.

[Toronto Villa]

All ifs and buts at this stage . If vlaar leaves and Senderos is seen as his full on replacement then we could be in trouble.

And if Vlaar stays, Okore comes back and is healthy and Senderos is a back up then we are better than last season at that position. Why only consider the negative or pessimistic scenario?

Here is an if and but for ya, Vlaar leaves and Okore doesn't work out and we end up with Clark and Senderos as the centre back pairing  that spells yikes. A lot to happen between now and the start of the season.

Or more likely Baker equals double yikes. As I say though only a little negative fantasy nonsense.
