I've seen Tomkins play blinders as a RB but in central defense he can turn a bit slow. My back four would be:

Pretty sure that Sam will have a list of players to improve the squad if we stay up. I was a Pardew fan and was gutted when he was sacked, but I have been hugely impressed with how Sam has strengthened the depth of the squad with just four purchases. Hopefully the results will now follow and we will stay up by the skin of our teeth. Sakho is a brilliant defender. Not sure about £24 million but I think it might be a steal in the long run. Got to buy him. He stopped a certain goal against Middlesbrough saving us 2 points. And the way he plays he does that often - he's like a 2nd goalie. He has proper skill too and looks a monster, really intimidating. Worth every penny of 20 mil. Adds to the midfield too. All this stuff of keeping possession, keeping the ball in the opponent's half, breaking attacks then feeding the midfielders instead of hoofing it upfield for anoth attack, all this stuff adds up to defensive value, and wins instead of losses, with his efforts largely hidden. Buy him!

Sakho certainly had a memorable debut. Very skillful defender however he will encounter more difficult opponents than Boro's finest to deal with. Certainly gave us out balls and possession instead of usual hoof balls and panic! Also with Milivojevic in front of him who looks a great addition as well making tackles, quick passing and breaking up play. I hope we seriously consider trying to buy Sakho in May, they may well want him back who knows. Would they notice if we sent Benteke back instead?

They were impressive yesterday but you have to consider that the Boro attack was very poor so I prefer to see how they get on at West Brom next week before going totally overboard.

Is it just a straight up 6 month loan or do we have the option to buy at the end?
