so whats the point then of steve bruce buying parnaby, keeping tebily, getting schmitz, why not sell kelly and jaidi? because all what you're saying is not true. if it was true, all those players wouldn't be here. ...duh? |

A defence with Jaidi, Tiny and Sadler playing regularly will get us relegated. A mainstay of Kelly or Parnably --- two out of Djourou / Ridgewell / Schimtz ---- Queudrue or Schmidtz looks pretty strong to me. Schmidtz has played CL remember |

but steve bruce is being optimistic Hes planning for the future, many before have saidit, to succeed in the prem you need premiership experience and youth, if all we had was experience wed have a team too old, we have the right mix. I think tebily has only been kept because of that tackle he did when his boot came of, bruce gave him massive respect for that and kept him, tebily isnt even good enough to play in league 1 mate! also in our team, who could play week in week out in defence and play brilliantly? |

Competition in the squad is GOOD. Do I have to remind you what happened that other season when we got all those injuries 8) |

I don't agree that we have too many defenders. My only concern is that Tebily is a waste of a squad place. I can't really conceive of a situation where we would dare to play him. |

competition in a side is good! Bruce loses djourou in jan anyway, and schmitz is probably off at end of season |

Kelly/Parnaby (dont care which) - Djourou - Schmitz/Ridgewell - Quedrue Thats how I think we should line up. Come January, we lose Jaidi, and Djourou (possibly, depending on whether we are able to turn the loan into a season long loan or not). But we still have Schmitz and Ridgewell who I think will be good enough in a central defence pairing, even if they are both left footed. Taylor as back up will be fine. In my opinion, you should always have 2 players suitable for each position. Thats Kelly and Parnaby at right back. Djourou, Ridgewell, Schmitz and Jaidi at centre back. Sadler and Quedrue at left back. Taylor in reserve (however, I have the feeling Bruce will be putting Taylor ahead of Jaidi and possibly Schmitz in the line up). Tebily will do more damage than good if he's near the team. We'd be better off with 10 men. Plus, Djourou can play in midfield or full back, Parnaby can play centre back as well as right back, Schmitz the same but left back. We have the right amount of cover. Not too many players. Not too few. 'Poifect'. |

It does say he can play at full back maybe his in for his national service in left back, with thin Franck getting a game in goal |

you're so annoying shut up man...who the hell would be stupid enough to have no defenders in their squad? this thread is too many defenders, none would obviously stupid enough and too little. if you want to post make it count...don't count the posts. post something useful. you aint gonna have a squad with no defenders at all. |

Taylor...Sadler and Schimitz are injured. Where would we be now if we hadn't signed Ridgwell, Queudrue, Djouro, incidently two of those are only on loan. |

I don't think it's wise to play Djourou next to another equally inexperienced defender compared to someone like Jaidi or (how bruce will see him) Taylor. We all know how good Andy Cole did for Jerome/Campbell/Bendtner etc. I think either Jaidi or Taylor will line up next to Djourou, Shmitz or Ridgewell. |

In my opinion Bruce will go with Ridgewell and Djourou or Jaidi and Ridgewell with Djourou in midfield. Either way both Ridgewell and Djourou will be in the starting XI. Martin Taylor is expected to miss the opening month of the season so he obviously wont factor in. http://icbirmingham.icnetwork.co.uk/mail/f...-name_page.html |

Hmm. Jaidi can give some solid performances, do you remember that run we went on with no goals conceeded with him and taylor? For the premiership I just think he needs someone speedy next to him like Djourou. He also does score a lot of goals. Granted 6 Isn't that much but for a defender it's quite good. |
