Get in Steven Defour for the middle of the park, will be hungry to impress after 2 years as a bit part player at Porto, and actually take a risk and trust in the manager by backing him with enough for a 15m bid for Benteke and a 8-10m bid for de bruyne imo, a blind idiot could see that we will finish top 8 AT least this season so the estimation of the final payment from the tv deal can be pretty accurate now, having him and Lukaku both here fighting it out for whose gonna be leading the line for Belgium in the world cup would bring the best out of them both same for Mirrales and De Bruyne

Heitinga not in the squad cos he's going to West Ham, Distin injured today so Stones starts along side Alcaraz.

Well, well, who says that one more injury wont make us short at the back aye?!.

Both decent shouts, but you'd just about get one of them for both of those sums combined.

Defour is an interesting one - hopefully Mirallas and Lukaku have been bending his ear, but I can't see Porto letting both him AND Fernando leave. Perhaps Defour is more realistically a loan target?
 
Are 2 main CB's are both out with Hamstring injuries, one is p!ssing off so i'd say we need to either recall Duffy or get someone in?!

And hamstring injuries are dodgy ones, you think your fit and ready till you make a 20, 30 yard sprint for the ball and pull up again. I hope Martinez is looking at that department this window.

Him and fernando arent competing for the same position mate, Lucho Gonzalez is the guaranteed starter atm with porto playing a 3 man centre mid fernando deep behind the other 2, the other spots been rotated with abpout 3-4 getting a share of the games including defour, but recently they've had the addition of a young lid breaking in and apparently he's the one they see as their rising teenage star the new deco getting thrown around by Journo's), so chances are in typical porto style when they lose players they have their replacements already in the squad ready to come through,

Fair shout about loaning him - with the option to buy written in could be a very astute bit of business and saves any available funds for another important target, Porto have a track record of loans with sale clauses written in i think so good shout by you

Barry and Hibbert can both play there too, and Duffy could be recalled, who isn't too bad for a 7th choice centre back imo.
 
We need to get Saturday out of the way and give the players a good weeks rest. They are knackered after so many games in a short time. Only the big clubs like City and Chelsea have squads big enough to cope with the run of games and they have. Daft thing is if wasn't for a stupid error we'd have got 10 points out of 12 which would have been great.
