With Nelson seemingly gone I'd say we should pile back in for Ricardo Carvalho on a free this window.
He is a top top defender and Clint and Nelson show CBs don't need to be young and quick to be effective.
Otherwise Dunne - haven't seen him play in ages, he might be shot, but he is a leader who might be able to fill Nelson's shoes. |  |

I would go for Dunne over Carvalho as I would have reservations about Carvalho. I presume he is likely to have sympathy with our very own Winston Bogarde, Bosingwa, through there association with Portugal and Chelsea and feel that would be extremely counter productive for team morale.
I also think we've got our reserve experienced center back for the window, ben tal haim, and wonder if it is worth gambling on a bit of an unknown commodity who would be willing to stick around if relegated like the Norwegian kid Southampton have recently been linked to,Vegard Forren.

How original a though tonto - verbatim from something Northern would say. Yes yes yes I get the point and I see how much more sophisticated it is to not favour bringing in new players. BORING.
I thought Carvalho was available on a free and with Nelson going a CB is not a luxury but an absolute PRIORITY. Surely everyone agrees with that?
So... who is it going to be? | |

Yeah Acton I'd like to see us in for Vegard Forren too (not that I've ever seen him play but one the Scandie posters said he was good ageas ago).
Kind of signing reminds of the wonders Hangeland did when Hodgson bought him in for their 'great escape' season.
Personally though I'd go for Carvalho. Awesome defender. | |

At the moment Carvalho playing regularly for Madrid, as Pepe injured and Ramos suspended for 5 matches, so can't see him coming in the transfer window !! [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

It's no one copying anyone Westbourne. It's logic.
Sign ageing, 30+ yr old players, on the wane, who've played at bigger clubs and give them a big salary. It hasn't worked to date.
The definition of insanity??? You heard that one before.
I'd rather sign absolutely no one for the rest of the season than sign either of the players you mention. Completely the wrong signings. |  | | |

I've been working on and off in Madrid for the last few months and took in a cup game at the Bernabeu. Carvalho happened to be playing and he looked in pretty good shape. Won pretty much everything in the air and very comfortable on the ball. Like Nelson I think he could definitely do a job for us.
Would still prefer to get someone younger in though. |  | | |

I'm all for youth policy but i think any player we sign should be over 3 yrs old | | | |

My mate is a pre-takeover City fan and he said that Dunne was nowhere near the player he was when he left City.
that's just his opinion though.
