If we are to truly kick on this year we are still in definite need of brining in a centre half before the window shuts. Who would you bring in?

That's a 10/4 from me good buddy.

Totally respect the guy. He's just not quite good enough to play at this level, that's all. Nothing to do with respect. Personally think both Hangeland and Kelly are better options - but obviously don't see training etc and fully trust AP. Agree with what you're saying about a CDM though.

Agreed, but I'd have thought Kelly was the "someone younger." I think Dann and Damo are just fine with a holding midfielder in front of them (the last two seasons prove this.) Hangeland is excellent part-time cover and Kelly is the promising apprentice. We also have Mariappa at a pinch. Plus Ryan Innis at Port Vale, who's meant to be an excellent prospect. I think unless we can get a really serious upgrade on Damo (someone considerably better than Hanley) then I'm not sure the money would be well spent. I'd much rather see it go on a better right back.

I think we're at the point now where we have a pretty good squad and further upgrades are going to require serious investment. We've been a 10th place team the past two seasons and the next step is going to require upgrading to Cabaye-class. I think we're better going with what we've got and making a few, serious forays into the transfer market rather than multiple players who are really no better than we now have.

What do you mean by sorted, first ive heard of it

Did anyone else notice Pardew appearingly by mistake saying he needed a CB in yesterday's press conference? He was asked about Sako afterwards and mentioned how people should credit SP for that one and he said something along the lines of "I was mentioning how I need a centre back, but he pursued it so fair play to him".
