I would rather have Upson than Nelson or Neill, and Villa won't let their best player leave while they're playing so well.Obispo wrote:Kimbo wrote:So was Woodgate, so was Campbell. If he's available we SHOULD be in there. I think he's a really good player and we were fools not to buy him when he left Arsenal, Robson was apparently interested but Fat Freddy knew better.
Surely there are better defenders around though. I mean if you've got the £5million odd they're likely to ask for (unless he's out-of-contract?) then why not look at someone like Nelsen, Neill or Mellberg? Whether or not they're attainable or not is difficult to say, but - despite my mocking - you're still a bigger club than Blackburn or Villa, even if neither would be looking to sell the player could be interested.
I don't know why, if you've got the money, you don't go in for one of them or someone like Distin or Ben Haim?

...O'Shea and Bramble?
C'mon. Even I'd feel sorry for them.
O'Shea ain't bad in defence, its just midfield he's shite.
Maybe Silvestre then. Silvestre and Taylor would be a good partnership IMO.

I think Ryan Nelson is a pretty good defender , most BB fans had him as their player of year last season.

Silvestre at LB is certainly not a bad player , at CB he have lapses of concentration.

So is a fit Owen, but what's the point when they're injured as much as they are?

No offence to Newcastle but Silvestre for a club say 4th - 8th in the table would be excellent playing at centre back or left back.
Its only at the top level does he look out of place.
