Cajun Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Left back - Enrique, Kadar. Centre back - Campbell, Colo, Williamson, Taylor. Right back - Perch, Simpson. Doesn't look to bad to me for a team coming up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 There probably have been a few but I can't think of a quick, premiership quality centre backs that have moved to clubs in a similar position to us on a free this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or put Nolan into CB and open a McDonalds in the Gallowgate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Even if Sol was to sign for us, he'll be in the team on merit. If he doesn't play well enough, we have ample cover anyway. I'm not bothered if he signs or not, I personally think our defence is capable enough to survive in the premier league. If he does sign, I secretly hope he'll have a killer final season for us, managing to do his bit to keep us up! Lots of If's and Buts of course, we've all heard the sol rumour before (for about 5 years now) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 If there is any truth in this, I wonder what effect him being given the captaincy would have on morale within the squad. Hughton makes a big deal of it, as well as the idea that many of the existing players have come together and want to prove their abilities now we're back in the Premier League. Wouldn't this kind of piss on the unity? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I would take Sol over Williamson any day of the week. Sol & Colo would be canny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Is this true? I thought it could be happening when i saw Hughtons interview on SSN yesterday before the Carlisle game, he normally justs bats away transfer speculation, but had a giggle and daft smirk/smile which seemed a bit of a giveaway.

Cajun Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 He'd be a brilliant signing for you, i hope you sign him, i want to say i told you so. Compared to the average centre back how quick would you say he was? He really hasn't looked as slow to me as some people seem to think but maybe he has been made to look quick by incredibly slow opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Worth remembering what he said to Celtic if he joined them & when he would arrive "I'm getting married on 17 July," Campbell told the Scottish Sun, "but Neil's told me he's quite flexible, that if I need 10 days-two weeks honeymoon then he'll be fine with that. That really makes me happy because if I'm not happy, and my family's not happy, then you're not going to play your best football are you? He would only have missed two of the 5 friendly games but missed a large bulk of other pre-season training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 That's what I thought but I can't say I gave him an in depth analysis every time I saw him apart from thinking we were close to signing him and he still looked pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Any different to when Keegan brought in Kilcline as club captain? Don't think it would have any difference on team morale whatsoever, can only help the younger players, and will only be a first-teamer (if at all) for a short period of time before being replaced.

It was one of those situations where he had to turn and make up ground after a ball had been played past him. He got to the ball after just a few strides and cleared it. I'd trust him in that situation far more than Colo, and probably more than Taylor and Williamson. If I have a worry, it's about his mental state. He seems to have lost his direction a bit. Hopefully, we can provide it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really hasn't looked as slow to me as some people seem to think but maybe he has been made to look quick by incredibly slow opposition. He's not slow at all, quicker than the average defender i'd say, one point Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and him were in a race to the ball and it looks like a couple of pensioners running for the steradent, that's the only point i questioned him but he's been quality , as i say, i want him stay not for sentiment but because he offers a lot.
