Phil would  be aswell to follow Chris Smalling to Italy. Looks like he's enjoying the more laid back pace of the game there.

He’s on 75K per week. How much are you suggesting we would contribute and what makes you think he will drop down to mid table championship?

[philipl]

We have signed central defenders in the past who have taken a grip and organised without being supreme athletes themselves.

Reducing goals let in by 1 in 4 in the second half of the season lifts us into the top 6 and by a half could even bring automatic promotion in range in the second half of the season.

I was going to write all other things being equal but fingers crossed we keep Kandinsky,Dack Travis and Armstrong fit and average only 6 absences per game in the rest of the squad as opposed to the 8 we clocked up in the first half of the season.

No. We need a centre half with a good fitness record if one exists in our price range.

Too injury prone for me, we've got enough of those to start with.

Can see TH-B from Man City as the most realistic option. Pep will be impressed with our development of Tosin, we added value to that player. Liverpool I can't see loaning any defenders with their current injury crisis and I think Brainthwaite is probably the second most likely option.

[Darwen Rover 007]

I really think we should be recalling Mcgloire he looked good when he came on last season.. surely a better option than Johnson? 

He is 22yrs old and for me, should be given a chance.

Takes a minute to actually start showing any sort of real highlight, but you can see what this guy's like here. Tall, left-footed, able to pass, the goal towards the end is a great watch too.

He's 18 for crikey's sake.  We have our own 22 centre half out on loan...

We need men in this division.

Probably a nice player but too young for us.

According to Calvert-Lewin he is fast as well. When asked who was fastest at the club, he said it would be between himself, Godfrey and Branthwaite in a 100 metre race.

A promo for a center-half, without a single header?

Isn't he another one who suffered from injuries as well? I'd recall him but I think we'd still have to go into the market for a loan anyway.

Ayala is out for a month and never stays fit, and Williams and Wharton won't play again this season.

If you're good enough,you're old enough. Everything else is secondary. If you haven't watched him play beyond clips on YouTube,you are hardly qualified to have an opinion on how good he is? Never stopped you before I suppose

[roversfan99]

Can totally understand people being wary towards us signing a raw kid to try and solve our problems in defence. There is of course examples of young defenders on loan, Guehi at Swansea for example is really good, but its a risky market (presumably the only one we can afford to deal in) and ball playing ability cant be the priority, from all the names mentioned, it seems a non starter but Kipre was the best in that he has proven himself at this level.

Closer to home, Adarabioyo was a good loan addition although perhaps proof that a solitary kid wont fix the defence and with the problems elsewhere notably at left back I suspect that the goals might still be going in, but defensive reinforcements are a must.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Like a lot of left footed players - his right foot is just for standing on. They always give you a chance.

Show me any 18 year old that has played CH successfully in this division and I'll offer my cap to your sanctimony.

And I said he was a nice player...

You're on it these last few days Bigdog...good lad.

[TruRover]

Kipre on loan with a view to a perm is the move imo. Seems like he is one who is under consideration but I feel we may have to wait for westbrom to recruit one or two defenders first. 

[roversfan99]

Im not convinced that we can wait too long. There are 4 league games this month of which Ayala will miss them all and we cannot afford to play them all with our current lack of options. We need someone in before the Stoke game a week on Saturday.

Composed is the word that strikes me most. Exactly what our defence has been missing all season. He'd be my first choice young centre half. I would also bring in Kipre too because I doubt we'll see much more of Ayala this season.

Saw him play towards the end of last season looked a great prospect and ready to play senior football wiuld be made up with this signing
