I'd say TS is obviously not convinced by Okore or his fitness and is covering the bases at CB. I'm sure he would have tried to offload Senderos.

Don't think we'll see Senderos again. He's probably a buster flush now.
Richards can play RB if needs be. We've got plenty of options in the middle now. Hopefully they will be more reliable in terms of fitness and injuries. I'm still not entirely convinced on Okore (as yet). He's still very raw. So I'd imagine Okore and Ilori will fight for 4th choice.

Well if he ends up playing for England, another player who will sod off .   

Lets hope he does.

If Wikipedia can be believed he was born in Hampstead, London. Parents are an English father of Nigerian descent and a Portugese mother.

But he didn't shift Senderos and bought Lescott in, a strange move to get in a loaner.

Or how about give him a chance. Maybe he didn't want to go to Sunderland because they're shit.

Okore will be fine - he's the future. Last season he needed a rest towards the end - got injured and played on due to lack of numbers at CB. Less pressure now.

Yeah but if he's fifth choice centre back he's unlikely to get much game time, okore

Looks like he can pick a pass out. Strange signing though, surely better to keep Baker and give him the game time? Unless Tim really doesn't rate him and expects him to go once he returns from his loan. Either way if he's confirmed welcome and all the best Tiago.

We've certainly got options in defence now; guessing we've found a loan spot for Senderos too if we've gone ahead with this one.

Possibly Wolves seeing as they've sold that Richard Stearman which their lot are none too happy about.

I just always assume Senderos is injured, so he won't be going anywhere.
