Chances are our team, rather than being a machine full of confidence, is a bunch of nervous wrecks when he & Yaya get back & he will just join in as another nervous wreck & be no use whatsoever. That could be it; season over. It's the only thing that can stop us.
Imo we should sign 2 CB's in Jan, in case of emergency. If they are not needed, we can continue playing Vinny & Lescott til Feb to keep the continuity, then rest them individually for the newbies in Feb, against lesser opposition. If Kolo doesn't like it; tough.
Hi Ted. Agree completely with your assessment that we need one/two new centre backs.
Anyone who's read and managed to remember any of my posts will know that I've been a boring advocate of Neven Subotic, who I think would be great for us.
However, just as a matter of interest and in a perfect world, who would you, yourself, like to see us acquire in January, irrespective of the fees involved at that time ??
