We were apparently interested in Danny Batth last season I'm not sure if he was/is any good but there must have been potential or we wouldn't have been looking. Gouranga.

Not the fat lump of lard that was nothing short of fucking abysmal and looked like he couldn't give a fuck last season? God no. Gouranga.

As cover he would be decent option, he may even force a place given time. He has prem experience and their are not many options. Villa were shit all over the pitch last year and he was one of few players who showed some passion. I think he played for hughes too, so he would have some knowledge of hughes game and may be able to adapt quickly.

What has Richards actually done in the last 5 years other than be wank and a bit fat?

The question isn't really, 'which centre back should we sign instead of Keane?', but should be 'which other centre backs should we sign along with Keane, if he signs?'.
We need two new centre backs, and if we're really playing three at the back this season, then we need three. We have one good centre back (who missed most of last season), one good left back (who played despite clearly carrying an injury in the second half of the season) and one decent right back (who will probably only be fit for twenty games). Everybody else is expendable. We need a total defensive overhaul.

How much would you like to bet on that? I think we need one, but just have this hunch that we wont, but I wouldnt like to bet on it. It needs to be a standout defender too if we sign one, no point signing another run of the mill type, but who out there is there? Keane maybe, but beyond that im not sure, for me it needs 15m to be spent on one decent one. If he thinks Shawcross is fit enough and he goes back to a back 4, I think he will think we have enough with Shawcross + 1 of Cameron, Wolly, Muniesa and Wilson, with the other 2 as back ups I agree with you mate but it all depends on Ryan staying fit. I'm not so sure that any of those mentioned on this thread are an awful lot better than what's already at the club.

I'm increasingly terrified we'll end up with Steven Taylor on a free.

We've made a couple of good signing's, but the defence definitely needs strengthening.

Keane will arrive. One of wooly or Wilson will depart.
That is my prediction.

Should this not be 'If not Michael Keane then whom?'
A simple trick is in place of the word "who" or "whom" plug in the words "he" or "him" and see which one sounds better.
If "he" sounds better, then choose "who". If "him" sounds better, then choose "whom" Remember that the "m" words ("him" and "whom") go together.
I hope this is helpful.

I believe that there is a current Swiss International player who is available on a free call Schar or something like that. He featured in the Euros! He is well spoken of I believe.
