b: @reluctantnicko Hi again Alan. This CB, would he be a starter? A decent PL defender?

 

reluctantnicko: @adkinsisourking At 6 - maybe more - he would be a starter all right.

 

Seems he is very very good going from Nixon's comments. This narrows it to Hangeland, Shawcross or Davies IMO.

Maybe but he was right about every other one of our transfer targets this season and called mayuka when everyone else was saying qpr.

 

Haven't heard of him before, didn't know he had been reliable with our past signings. Fair play if he's right then.

Christ, if it's Huth I'll be jumping. Absolute class PL CB. Beast of a player.

 

Stokes defensive success has been built around him, IMO a better and more experienced player than Shawcross. Stoke fans worship the guy, a real warrior of a CB. Puts every part of his body on the line for 90mins. If we get him and Ramirez then the current European ambition has serious foundation

I'll still be happy with survival

I once gave Huth a ride in a Noble M400 up and down the Knowsley express way in Liverpool. Chelsea were staying in the hotel near the airport prior to a CL game against Lpool. The company I used to work for were having a press day where we hired loads of super cars to ferry press to and from the airport/hotel.

 

I didn't know who the hell he was until my boss pointed it out to me. Drogba was next in although they all got told off by Chelsea mangment for hanging around with a load of video game types. He showed himself up by telling me his 911 turbo was faster than the Noble... oh how I chuckled ;) Prem footballer in knowing nothing about the cars they buy shocker!! :-)

 

Would be a good signing though.. been solid and consistent for a number of years now.

are you sure we really need a CB?

The writing has been on the wall for a while that we need one.

A little surprised we let Martin go out on loan as I thought the more pitch time he had the better he got, that said he always seemed assured when asked to start in previous years, unless he was the sacrificial lamb in the Clyne deal? With them and Fonte not wishing to re acquaint themselves with each other.
