Is this McLeish's back-up plan? |

He did say he's light at the back. I figure he's thinking if you can't get the attack sorted have a stronger dffence. |

Hleb we have no chance of getting. As for Traore, do we really want to try and convert a defender into an attacker? I know it works sometimes like in Gareth Bale's case, but Traore's a decent left back, or at least he was when I last saw him. What I'm saying is that we've been after a player like N'Zogbia/Babel since the window in January. We never got one then, and if we don't get one now then that'll have been a year without bringing anybody in where you need strengthening most. I have no objection to Traore joining us, I think he'd be an improvement on what we've got. But if we don't bring in a more forward thinking player by tomorrow, expect a tough season. |

And I'm pleased the defenders & midfield are chipping in, cos our strikers haven't scored yet, have they? |

of the 6 goals, 3 were from defenders (Dann, Ridge and Johnson) and 3 from Gardner... i know what you're saying, and a goal's a goal, but i am still struggling to see where the 10-15 goal a season guy is going to come from within the squad. i really think that needs addressing... we lack invention when we attack. well, no that's not totally fair - Larsson and Faddy linked up well yesterday but the problem was there wasn't any movement in front of them and, let's be honest, they're not the quickest! |

If Alex gets his way and Martin Keown comes out of retirement ,that will be cover for centre backs and i think he can play left or right back . |

I see Craig Dawson the defender who was one of the picks for Rochdale the other night is 99.9% certain of going to WBA. I thought Chris O'Grady looked great too, gave Blues defence a torrid time |

Wrong, he gave Fahey, who was playing out of position at right back, a torrid time. |

Only Jiranek... its been widely acknowledged we're short for players at the back. Traore isnt a left back as he cannot defend, and was shown up quite a bit there for Arsenal Hleb and Beausejour are midfielders/wingers. |

Word to the wise: it was always going to be a tough second season in the Premier League, which is why the five points we've already accrued could be vital come May. We also don't need a 15-goal a season striker - we've only had one of those once at Premier League level. What we need are goals throughout the team, and we've seen that in our first three matches: Johnson and Dann both break their Premier League ducks, Gardner scoring from midfield. Six goals in three games where we've not exactly set the world alight. There's something to build on here, and today is a vital day in ensuring we stay clear of trouble or find ourselves praying our back line stays fit and free of suspension until January. Whoever we can get in today will enhance the squad and - if Hleb does sign - the first XL too. Hoping there's truth in the Sun story (so hope more than expectation) that we're arrowing in on Hutton for just £2.5m. Also happy that many of these prospective deals appear to be permanent ones, not loans. Looks like that £10m is being spread as wide as it will go. Happy to see both defensive and midfield options being addressed - fingers crossed they can get some or most of them over the line! |

I'd be delighted if we could attract a player of Hleb's quality, but do you really think we'll get him? I don't. |

I must pay more attention to detail. Some advice you might want to follow as well, hootie, as there was no talk of this Chilean winger yesterday when I started this topic. |
