But the Black Cats look set to land Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini for £10.8m. (Sunday Mirror) Seems unlikely, just an isolated rumour.

I think if Legro or Boumsong leaves we will sign a replacement, so it is just aquestion of finding a defender who can improve us.

He should go to a team who will buy him outright. I don't want a co-ownership in case he comes back.

What a prick. So it is definitely the agent trying to engineer a move for Chiellini.

Maybe I think we would have struggled to do better than we have because we needed a lot of new players on a limited budget. That ruled out the possibility of making any huge signings.

No, it was because Zaragoza wanted far more than he was worth so our board correctly pulled out of the deal.

I don't think he is looking for the amount of cash the others are getting. He just wants to feel a bit more valued by the club. I want to keep him, but if he wants to go to Man City then he clearly lacks ambition and is not the type of player we need.

Yup. He's captain now. :tup:

Aberdeen Casuals gave Feyenoord a good beating in the late 80's. :tup:

:agree: For both Juve and Chiellini.

Nice post. I think the concern is not the number of defenders we have, but the quality of those defenders. I for one would be very worried if Andrade was injured for any length of time, as he is te only leader of the defence. I hope I'm wrong though.
