Apparently we are one of a host of clubs interested in the Bayer Leverkusen centre back Phillipp Wollscheild on loan with a view to a permanent move.
6ft 4, strong presence, 25 years old.
Anyone think he would be a good buy?

To be honest any competent centreback would do- and another fullback option as well. I can't understand why we are buying wingers to fill in at fullback, nor why we did not maintain the original priority to sign a centreback who could organise the defence- not O'Shea's strong point. Roberge unlucky over penalty, but needs more time to turn round than a cruise ship and was generally woeful! Also agree with point below about Alonso- almost anyone willing to go forward and take a man on will contribute more most weeks than Johnson, who is obviously still on holiday.

I understand why everyone is frustrated and I can't pretend that I hate waiting like this for us to get business done. but the fact that we are waiting shows that we are taking great care in who we bring in to the club. we know transfers are being worked on. let's just hope slow and steady does win the race.
1.) Yes but our business should be done by now and we still need 3 more in
The closer we get to deadline day the more panic there will be

If this is true then it raises questions over the likelihood of the eventual Borini deal as they do exactly the same thing. We appear to be biulding a group of 4 competitive wingers. We have 1 first choice winger in AJ and backup on both wings in Buckley and Mavrias.

So 1 game into the season.
Transfer window not even shut yet
The manager promising more players.
Catts of all people scores a screamer
And not one of you can even raise a smile. Jesus.
We pulled of a draw today at a ground where we do not have the best of records. having had the softest penalty I have ever seen given against Roberge who fair enough wasn't great today nor do I ever expect him to be but looked better than when he first arrived.
Look at the positives for god sake.
Mannone continues to look a class act.
We are scoring goals from midfield.
Even Catts has enough confidence to shoot from 30 yards.
We have Fletcher fit again.
Wickham is willing to play on the wing witch shows commitment.
There is method in the madness here. By playing Wickham, Fletcher, Larrson and AJ it allows us to revert to 4-4-2 when needed which showed effective at times today.
they are in no means the finished article but for christ sake give them a few games before we all turn bitter. God

Anyone else wondering if Ellis Short has shares in Man City

Also we still have a fair amount of money to through around. would anyone object to us signing Borini, Dawson and Richards. It would cost around £25m but I think its safer business. I don't think Borini cares if he is on the wing just as long as he plays.

I agree with a lot said here but we all seem to be forgetting one thing. Daniel Levy.
Look at what we had to go through with him to sign Darren Bent and how much that "spurs reserve" wound up costing us. I highly doubt he would let 2 players who had moderately good seasons last year leave for the £9m we would be left with should we sign Richards which I've already said should be our top priority.
They would both likely cost around £7m, probably even more for Townsend because of how overpriced attacking players are.
As for Scott Sinclair. I think he is Poyet's last resort should his attempts to sign Borini fail. Don't think Poyet believes Buckley is the solution to the problem. I like Poyet know that Buckley is just solid back up incase players get injured over the season.
All in all I would love to have Townsend and Dawson at the club but would easily cost around £18m not £14m.
But I maintain this. we MUST sign Micah Richards. He ticks so many boxes for us. If we only sign one more player this window it MUST be Richards. we have prem standard cover everywhere but defence and Richards can play anywhere and so provides this.
