So you'd happily just give up a 20 goal a season striker for one that has scored 10 only once in his career (I think)? Not to mention one that has had 3 clubs in the last 3 years and causes trouble pretty much everywhere he goes? Until Santa Cruz has shown that he can score goals throughout the season Benni will remain without doubt our best forward.

I thought Fernandes to Everton was a done deal, but Valencia's home page announce that they've signed him subject to medical - or that's what I understood from the link via Babelfish.

I think the third party ownership of Fernandes had something to do with the breakdown of his move to Everton

the only thing that worries me is that we don't have good enough cover for Bentley or MGP - if either one of them gets injured a big part of our play falls apart.

We can "fill in the gaps" sort of, but I think we need a player who could do a solid job in those positions, but be willing to spend a good deal of time on the bench when the others are fit. It would be quite hard to find someone like that, I know...if it only it were like Football Manager, eh ? :P

a right back

centre midfielder

a player who can play left or right wing....

I think we have adequate cover for the right however the left worries me slightly. Rigters is known to play on the right wing.....I think he played there for his previous team. Also we have Reidy to come back who can cover the centre and right. Right back is pretty well covered with Khizanishvili and Ooijer.

I think that we are strong enough in the right back area at the moment. Emerton is playing very well there and in Ooijer and Zurab we have solid cover. I think that Hughes will be looking for a specialised right back in January. We have cover for Bentley in the shape of Emerton. Even though he has never excelled at the position, he played there for a number of seasons, so is used to it. If Emerton had to play in wide right, then this is the time that you'd want another right back in the team. But at the moment we can cope well with Zurab and Ooijer.

Sergio Peter would be the obvious choice to cover in place in Pedersen, but there are still question marks about whether or not he is good enough.

People are deluding themselves if we they think we can expect to have a 'proven' deputy for every position. We aren't Chelsea! Sergio Peter is a promising back-up player and I see no reason why we should start looking for a new squad member to play on the left. Our squad is big enough. If anyone should be signed, it's someone who'd go straight into the first team and the only position I think we really should be looking to improve is CM but again, financially, I don't think it can happen.

Th efact wew were looking at Djerzini (or whatever his name was) suggest we are willing to take on another left sided player. I guess Sparky's attitude will be- "if they are good enough, cheap enoug and have enough potential- why not?"

Sparky has form of buying players who we don't appear to need at the time: Berner, Dunn, Henchoz, Ooijer, Samba, Mokoena. Most of them have turned out very very well.

I don't think it's fair to say Peter isn't up to it because he hasn't had a real chance. Some would infer that Hughes reluctance to play Peter is evidence enough that he isn't good enough. I would disagree and suggest that Hughes prefers Gamst because he favours proven experience and Gamst capacity to score despite having a woeful game - I do not think it reflects badly on Sergio Peter's talents.

Just the same way that Hughes' preference, at one time, of Shabby Nonda and Franny Jeffers over Matt Derbyshire was merely about 'experience' and supposed 'reliability' than a dismissal of Derbs ability.

In a heartbeat. I'd happily drive Benni down to London and bring back Bellamy (with his golf clubs in the boot).

Peter is nowhere near a Pedersen. Gamst is unique and at his best one of the world's greatest wingers.
