I think Kolo is off in this window anyway, so he will have to be replaced.

I think Lavezzi is already a done deal, probably Tevez going to one of the Milan clubs might be close to being done as well.

If we lose de Jong then I could see a move for de Rossi, but I think losing Nige would be a mistake for whoever we bring in, took him enough time to settle and it can only disrupt our season.

Their isn't anyone out on loan who could step into the games we have in Jan/Feb who is really up to the standard imo.Boyata is the nearest but not quite good enough for me.Mee would be the other but he's not as goos as Boyata.

Definitely nobody in the academy side although Rekik will be in time.No way at the moment though.

Don't forget Micah as a stand in.

If NDJ goes, I guess it will be the Summer. I really hope he stays, he is superb.

If you're right about Lavezzi, then it would be fantatstic, he looks the business.

I am struggling to think of a CB and I certainly agree we need someone, as per the OP. Alex would be OK, but he would have nmore bench time, as has already been stated. Collocini is as good as there is, in my opinion, so I'd wade in with a large offer for him, throwing Ned in as a makeweight.

What do we have to offer a top quality CB unless we are selling someone, and we find it very difficult to sell anyone on our wages.

Young and up and coming seems too much of a gamble, past their prime just doesn't cut it at our level (pinches himself) So its another case of a hefty salary weighing in his contract if we aren't careful

I stress this is a rumour Busquets is a done deal, which may mean Nigel DJ is on his way out.

i hope thats a joke...i really do. Busquets is not that good, he just cheats and dives....ALOT.
No thank you, let everyone on Barca (except Messi, Iniesta, and Xavi) stay there.

No top quality CB is gonna want to come here and sit on the bench for the prem and only get games in the FA and
Carling cups...and when an injury may occur. We need some young, talented prospect...or an old vet. Someone
mentioned Daniel van Buyten somewhere else on this forum. Good shout there.

I know Nedum pissed is all off with his showing on Saturday morning TV last year, and through his mother Cookie had to resign, but man, against Arsenal the guy worked hard and hardly put a foot wrong. If Micah went centre half, Ned could do a job for me

If Micah moves over to CB Zaba would fill in at his normal RB, which would be pretty good...we'd lose something going forward though.

Kolo has hardly played all season I'm sure we can last a couple of weeks without him. Ned, Savic or Micah as BACK UP to Vinnie and Joleon for a sprinkling of games will be ok.

I'm personally more worried about centre midfield, we have nigel milner and barry for Jan, im discounting hargeaves as i dont think he is up to it fitness wise, a loan move for a centre midfielder would be up there with a priority for me, im thinking flamini would be ideal(longshot would be diarra from real). As someone else said a vet or young striker would be nice,pref one who could play on the right and has pace maybe hoilett/Zaha/Anelka
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kolo out, to ACON and poss to another club in Jan, and Gary Cahill in from Bolton with another player going to them on loan - poss Razak or maybe Onouha - to help them out.

Im not a Cahill fan but thats what Ive heard on the grapevine.
