Anyone else rather we went for more def cover.. rather than a midfielder (presuming cash left over from striker purchase)...

I just think looking at our defence, we are very short:

DEF: 8-9 players (inc 2 youngsters) for 4 places

MID: 14-15 players for 4-5 places

AT: 5-6 players for 1-2 places

I don't think we are short. We have Samba, Nelsen, Zurab, Givet and Jackobsen who can play CB; Warnock, Givet, Olsson who can play LB; Jackobsen, Emerton who can play RB (Reid and Andrews can do a job there). No need to sign anyone in defence I think. Also it looks much stronger as a unit than last year iwth the addition of Givet and Jackobsen.

i agree 100% with you nelsen. sunderland are trying to build something big and have the money that means they don`t have to sell. besides, you can keep him for me, i`d be very upset to pay 10m for kenwyne jones. the new didier drogba? totally laughable on the occasions i`ve seen him.

Good....I hope everyone at Blackburn FC agree with you, because I'd be gutted if you got him for £10million too ;)

I won't try to change anyone's mind, the less people who think their club should sign Jones the better as far as I'm concerned........leave him with us, he's rubbish.

I probably have opinions on Blackburn players a lot of you would think are strange.....given a few snippets and the odd match per season is al I see.

We (according to the club) rebuffed a £20million bid for him from Spurs in January

No offence mate, But City told the press they had bid £15m for RSC last January when in fact they had bid just £8m.

As for your opinions....go on, it will be interesting.

Are you serious??

Left back - Warnock, Ollson, Givet

Centre back - Samba, Nelsen, Givet, Zurab, Gunning

Right back - Jacobsen, Emerton, Andrews

More than enough cover.

If Zurab is staying then we're fine. We would we need more than 8 or 9? We're not in Europe.

I was thinking per position.. and I included Emerton as RB cover in the 9.. Gunning and Olsson also included..

So really we have just 6 proper defenders in total Givet, Samba, Jacob, Zurub, Nelson and Warrnock...

Just thinking about the highly unimaginable situation where we had an injury in CD and someone gets suspended.

Nelsen injured and Samba suspended - Jacobsen, Zurab, Givet, Warnock

Jacobsen injured and Warnock suspended - Emerton, Nelsen, Samba, Givet

We're going to be operating on a reduced wage budget this year, it would be insanity to try and have more than 8/9 first team defenders.

I hope this is just a recycled story regarding Alan Smith.

Stoke City manager Tony Pulis also ran the rule over Smith last month but was put off by the former England international’s wage of £60,000 per week, while Everton have also been in the hunt for the ex-Leeds man in the last 12 months.

However, Big Sam, who must cut his cloth accordingly at Ewood Park, may offer to pay a percentage of his salary in a season-long loan deal in order to ease the financial nightmare facing the Magpies

Whats wrong with that??

Didn't John Williams say he wanted a 23 man squad? That squad would be around 30 players and would not include any goalkeepers!

He's been pants for the last 2/3 seasons. However it's low risk, and if we agree a fee like we did with Givet for if he comes good, it wouldn't be a bad move. Can't imagine the barcodes would want much for him as a fee.

Smith has never scored many goals wherever he has played. His most successful season at Leeds was in 2003-04 when he scored 9 goals compared to just 3 the previous season. Even at United he scored most of his goals at the start of the season and did not score as many goals as he should have done for that fee. I don't think he has properly recovered since his injury against Liverpool in the FA Cup in 2006.

Why did you guys let Derbyshire go? I always thought that was a strange move......he's probably one of those players I was talking about though. I thought he was excellent based on the glimpses I saw and now you'll all tell me he was hopeless! :D

From you squad I like; Warnock, Nelsen and I liked Mokoena but he's gone hasn't he?

I think the rest are much of a muchness apart from; Khizanishvili, Roberts and Olsson who I don't rate at all.

You have some players who look good at times but don't seem to have as much impact as they should; Reid, Dunn (both injured lots?), MGP, Diouff, Villaneuva.

As I said though....this is all probably wrong and opinions tend to get warped when you don't see someone wek in/week out.

This is why we're able to get £3million for Daryl Murphy :D

Pretty fair, we have a fairly average squad- our defence, Emerton, Nelsen, Givet, Samba and Warnock are probably our better players.

Our midfield is pretty shocking at present and we badly need 2 good strikers. As well as a pacey winger and a creative midfielder

oh...and Mokoena was gash!

Emerson seems like a disappointment to me.....but probably only because he was expected to be a mega-star when he arrived and he's ended up a solid premiership player. I think Samba is effective....wouldn't go as far as good. Perfect for FSA though!

Not seen enough of Givet to offer an opinion.

What's McCarthy been like? We were linked with him last summer and he seemed keen but we got Cisse instead. My opinion would be something along the lines of "bags of talent, can't be arsed to apply it."
