S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2013 Share Posted 6 January, 2013 I'd imagine efforts will be going on this week to ensure we have an extra option, as Fonte doesn't look healthy it has to be said. He won't be fit for Saturday anyway, I'm sure of that. But either way, the back 2 next week will be Jos and Yoshida imo - any new guy would be on the bench.

Even if that is the case, would you mind not repeating out loud too much? I get chills just at the thought of Jos Hooiveld lining up in our defence.

I get chills just at the thought of Jos Hooiveld lining up in our defence. I don't think he's all that bad...! He coincided with being in the team when we were so open, so he was exposed so much. At least the back 4 have a bit more protection now. Thought he played alright up at Stoke, would be a good option to stick on Benteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed that the Astori deal gets done today or tomorrow. Pretty sure when we signed Fonte he came straight into the team after just a few days (although he wasn't moving abroad, of course).

itchen_dan Posted 6 January, 2013 Share Posted 6 January, 2013 Don't hit the panic button as Cork can cover as CB as Clyne will be back. We saw how that turned out at Palace in the cup last season! he was all over the place, like yesterday. Cork has to be back in midfield for the Villa game.

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 6 January, 2013 Share Posted 6 January, 2013 At least we have all week knowing that we need to prepare without Fonte. Would be much worse if he pulled up in training on say Thursday. As mentioned, against Benteke Jos could be a good choice, seeing as he is a big physical presence. I certainly have a little more faith having seen him play ok against Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalek2003 Posted 6 January, 2013 Share Posted 6 January, 2013 If we don't sign a recognised and experienced CB, then it has to be proof that we are gambling big time that Lady Luck helps us keep our Premier status.

Wade Garrett Posted 6 January, 2013 Share Posted 6 January, 2013 Obviously don't know, but I would say that Fonte's injury has made completing the Astori deal more urgent. In short, it's imperative we have a new replacement in place ready to start against Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rshephard3 Posted 6 January, 2013 Share Posted 6 January, 2013 Apparently N'Zogbia, Bent and Agbonlahor all played well yesterday, bit of a worry with Fonte out. Just what we need, Villas old guard to click with the new boys just in time to face us a man down! It's a shame as Fonte has really got his act together quickly after a poor start to the season.

beatlesaint Posted 6 January, 2013 Share Posted 6 January, 2013 I doubt it. I think all our transfer business will be completed in the last week of January as NC plays hardball with the selling club(s) involved. Its not a criticism, just what I think will happen.

I can't revel my sources either, but there's a 50% chance with plus/minus 50% variance that a deal MAY be made for one or more CBs by the end of the week. If not the end of this week, then very probably by the end of the transfer window. You heard it here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
