Have we been linked with any potential signings for the defence?
I like Caulker. Think he could do a job.

Is Caulker good enough at defending? Always a threat on set pieces though!  |

We don't seem to have been linked with any defenders do we?
147 central midfielders, but no defenders.

I wouldn't mind james chester.
Jamal lascelles if newcastle play ball.
for me it has to be homegrown which the list of attainable options is going to be short

Can we beat Leicester to Michael Keane?
Be expensive but that's the market we are in.

Cartwright better watch his back or he'll be replaced shortly  |

A new central defender is not high on marks list. He may aswell write his resignation then. If he is stupid enough to neglect this position yet again then he won't last until Xmas. |

Is Phil Jones a possible?
His star seems to have waned since signing a new contract with United a year ago and since going to the WC.
Ferguson and Capello rated him very highly, comparing him with some of the greatest. With ManU signing new players, could MH spring him from them as he seems to be trying with Allen from Liverpool?
____________
I can see why MH is in no rush to buy another CB with all the players he has, and it is fair to say that organization, commitment, and discipline are the important aspects of defending, more than individual talents.

Not sure what the face means if I'm honest with you. But not buying a centre half this window is complete negligence in a position that we desperately need a player I should expand. Mark Hughes could sell one of our centre halves and still wouldn't deserve the absolute crap you have just spewed. He clearly sees Shawcross hopefully getting back to full strength (if even possible after another set back the other day) and the return of Butland as reasons to be positive of his defensive situation. I agree we could do with another centre back so we can stop using Geoff there and get rid of Wilson, but I'm sure we were heavily linked with Tompkins were we not? It's not even August yet, although I concede you said this window so there is still time for Hughes before you swing the imaginary axe around... |

It's not even August yet, although I concede you said this window so there is still time for Hughes before you swing the imaginary axe around... Let's put it in a way that you might understand as you seem to struggle. Last season Shawcross missed a lot of the season. He as already picked up a back injury this year so the signs don't look good. Marc muniesa can't play 3 consecutive games so forget about him. So it could leave cameron and Wollscheid as our only centre half's and one of them sees himself as a midfielder. We simply could not keep a clean sheet last season with teams cutting through us with ease. We simply don't score enough goals to keep conceding goals. It's a results business and believe me if hughes ignores the fact we need a bloody good centre half in then I'm convinced we will struggle. If so then hughes will be under huge pressure. Hope that's simple enough... |

Hope that's simple enough... Well it's exactly the same way as before and as you may have seen I did note the Shawcross issue MAY come back up or he may have simply strained his back in a way any other player could have, Mark Hughes will know that situation better than you or I. I agree Muniesa isn't much of an option as he can't stay fit. Wollscheid was better than most give him credit for last season with a lot of people blaming him for things he was not at fault for. Cameron can play Centre Half well enough to get USA to the semis of the Copa America and can do a job at Centre Half also. You did not address my question of Hughes looking for Centre Halves already with the Tompkins link and again we don't actually know who he is looking for as the newspaper links are usually just us, Southampton and Everton in a big hat and the journalists just pick out whoever they feel like and then write that the other 2 are also interested. It's not as simple as you make out I am. |
