[qprcarlos]

snap!

[HammersmithR]

But maybe the new manager doesn't want him.

[LBLOCK]

Lovely.

Another centre back.

Unless of course he's actually a blinding full back, a central midfield leader or a great striker and been keeping that under wraps all of his career.

Nice one GP.

IF true of course :cry:

If our centre backs were playing well and not as weak as Fosters, I'd be mythed too, but we're not. In fact, we're sh1t at the back and have the joy's of Damion Stewart and Fitz Hall to look to as back up. With Matt Connolly being tempermental for fitness these days too, we're actually a lot weaker there than many like to believe. Not saying Mills is the answer to all our problems, but he just can't be worse than Stew Peas and Hall...surely?

Maybe the manager doesnt have a say in things as immaterial as which players he can have.

Its such a small point and im sure it has no bearing on why any half decent manager wont touch us with a barge pole.

Very true, well said that man!

Fair points on RECENT FORM of the back 4 but can I just caveat that with --

We've needed decent full backs for almost 2 seasons now
We have a keeper who could not command a well trained dog
We have had every single permutation of centre-back partnerships possible at the club (except maybe for Legs playing there) this season.

A pair of settled CB's in Kaspar + Connolly has been needed and that's rarely occurred due to injury plus bizzare reasons known only to Magilton and his forehead.

My personal view is a cool mill could be better spent elsewhere and another CB is not the most pressing concern.

That is all.

L block spot on and I do also agree with that.
If fit Connolly and Gorrks can do a job and our full backs are very poor.

[Mutley]

Maybe that million is just the tip of a huge warchest being spent in January.
Maybe there are transfers in place for fullbacks, strikers, a keeper etc and noone knows yet.
Maybe the club are really going for it.

Maybe im talking Kack!!!!!

Mate, I don't dissagree at all, but as I say...Connolly's fitness will be a gamble for some time yet, so we need a capable CB to step intothe frey. Stewart is too hit and miss for me due to concentration. Yes, i've been over critical of him and quite harsh with what I've said about him. He has some great attributes which seem to have faded away this season. If he got his form back, he'd be ok backup, but Hall really is woeful.

Basically, the CB spot is more important than the full back positions as when penetrated, the keeper is on his own. Our fullbacks get beaten too often which puts more pressure on the CB's from crosses, so yes...we need to address them too, but again, CB is more vital IMO.

We need a holding midfielder to protect the back four and a striker to get the goals. Not a million miles off having a great team again, but still far enough away from a top 6 finish if you ask me.

[Stedders]

I welcome any signing that would strenghten us. And just because this is a centre-back does not automatically prohibit us signing anyone else in other positions...

If true then I'm speechless....still in comes from the sun so i'll take it with a large pinch of salt.

[hemelhoop]
