Seriously, how many deals have you seen involved with a player swap.

Seriously...None because it doesnt happen anymore because of agent fees get lost etc...   seriously

It seems a reasonable prospect that any of Moore, Knight, Hughes or Johnson will be PL quality in a year or so. I can understand why there appears to be no current interest in Gibson as Morgan/Huth can partner Maguire. I think both have a year or so left -assuming they stay fit. It is a little concerning Wes appears to have another back injury.

[one F in Fox]

I'm not surprised Morgan has back problems, to me his posture looks poor.

He often looks awkward when he plays, not sure if it's something to do with out toeing,

which can also contribute to back problems.

We wont sign him we will have an injured Huth and an ageing Morgan and regret not signing another centre back all season.

Man City / Chelsea / Everton signing every player in the world shocker.

Terrible move for  young players as they are more than likely to sit on the bench than play.

Id be very surprised if Evans wasnt handing in a transfer request as we speak....

And Tony Pulis trying to sign every CB

[Fox 4 Life]

I'm hoping this CB "crisis" will kick shakey into action and we will bring someone else in. Benny isn't good enough and Huth/Morgan can't be relied upon fitness wise.

Hes not as good as Mguire imo but has been in the full England squad so is probably rated higher, plus we got Mguire relatively cheap so in todays market £37 million for 2 young centre backs is pretty good

37m for what I believe could well be the future England cb partnership, would be fantastic business. Imo, this has always been the position we needed to strengthen this season as a matter of urgency, and its a worry if it takes an injury crisis for Shakespeare and the club to realise it. Morgan is past his sell by date at this level, Huth is getting slower and will take longer to recover from injury the older he gets. What are we f***king about at?

 

Forgot to say, I hope they have realised, it cos there ain't too many signs of it thus far!

£37m in today's market for 2 young English centre backs on the cusp of England squad selection in a pre-world cup season would be phenomenal business especially in a world where Man City paid £50m for John Stones last year.

Yeah, and both Maguire and Gibson are better cbs than Stones imo.

With Benalouane not being included in the squad tonight surely it means we're getting somebody in.

Yeah I'd guess that ridiculous tackle at Burton was the nail in the coffin.

Did anyone else's heart sink when maguire looked injured tonight?? Makes it even more  critical we get someone in.

Any idea who it could be? Or even a guess

[Gerard]

I'd love us to get Gibson in. I haven't seen hardly any of him but with his England selection and Man City's apparent interest it speaks volumes for his credentials.

 

After watching Maguire add a new dimension it would be ideal to start him up with another youngish high prospect especially as Huth and Morgan are beginning to creak at the edges. It would be a great move for us and a great move for Gibson to play regular PL football with another potential England centre back for the future.
