Mikael Silvestre

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

No hint that we've been linked with him but out of contract & training with Man Utd whilst hoping to impress another Prem suitor. Plenty of Prem experience and although getting on could be a decent stop gap until Jan at least?

[alpine_saint]

Yes, I thought this a few weeks ago but assumed he wouldnt be up for the challenge or willing to accept the pay cut.

 

He could really make himself a hero down here if he accepted the challenge (and were offered it...)

[DT]

Yep, would be good, but doubt he would come or would want to, unfortunately. Or that the club, with its blindness to all things defensive, could see him.

[Colinjb]

It would be a no brainer. Wouldn't worry about him losing out with a pay cut. -30% of 0 = ?

My sentiments exactly ................pick up the phone Nige .....

hmm, you sure hes getting nowt from Manyoo ? I just read it that he is not on a contract. If Fergie had a major injury crisis tomorrow, I could easily see him getting a short-term contract.

That's me! I've always thought he was rubbish! Even when he was younger and playing for France I used to think to myself... my God that Silvestre is rubbish!

 

In the interests of full disclosure, i ain't a premier league scout or or anything.

Yes, but is he more rubbish than Fonte, Fox and Hooiveld ?

[Bearsy]

Dunno Alps.

 

I spose no matter how rubbish he is, he's less likely to sh!t his pants when we concede a soft goal at Upton Park. That would be a step up at least!

And thats the point. Until January we arent exactly spolied for choice. He has PL experience by the basketful.

[angelman]

Pay cut? Not sure what he was on, but damn, the situation is a little bit, umm, concerning - give the man what he wants, on a short term deal.

[DT]

he has a very strangely shaped head

[Glasgow_Saint]

age 35!! No thanks

And this is what we lack in the back four, he could be a good short term fix.

[Colinjb]

According to Wikipedia he has signed with a club in the Indian Second Division.... Although he will not start playing for them until January.

Would definitely take him on a short term deal until the end of the season. He's not great, and 35, but still better than our current defenders, plus he can play LB or CB which would be a bonus.
