IMO we need a classy defender and that's what we can't get in january.

I think it's a long term gain decision. We probably won't get any good defenders for sale now. Only Senderos class or less. And I know of only Gallas who is 'gettable', but we'd have to pay through the nose. Alex is still non-EU and we know how much they asked for Ivanovic last time.
For loan? I honestly don't think the issue is filling it up with numbers...

I'm still in the pro Serie A based and/or Italian defenders. They'll know the league better, plus it's the old 'big club tactic', just take the top players from the best of the rest and you'll never have to worry about finishing outside the top 4 again.

Without tapping up, it wouldn't be possible. And Milan are no longer poaching like they used to. I wonder if they've discovered a new altruistic mode within them. In any case Napoli are not truly a selling club, since that's where the best defenders are currently.

Thanks for the info CMF! QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Dec 22 2008, 07:46 PM)  Well I've been impressed, it's all opinion. Just like you think Gattuso is a useful player. And why would I over-rate a Liverpool player, of all people? You are the one who does not like Gattuso when most people rate him highly and you're the one who thinks Dossena has been very good at Diverpool when most people think he's been mediocre. What I mean is... you tend to be biased against unclassy players that are popular (Gattuso, Mascherano) and also tend to defend other players when the world is against them... I'm not saying that's bad or anything, I'm just talking about how I get it... it's just that I did not expect anyone to say he's been impressed by Dossena at Liverpool, that's all (was not laughing at you, just seemed weird).
