    Bruno was 31 on Tuesday, I think £3 million for a defender of that age who has played almost exclusively as a Championship player in this country with a year left on his deal is bad - my concern is that all of our centrebacks will have a samey type look to them if we do sign Flint (he's 30 as well, so I'd be very reluctant to pay much more than what we're supposedly getting for Bruno).

    This is my concern.

    We also now need additional cover at RB too; as we've got Peltier and I'm not convinced Jazz will still be here come the deadline (not that you can rely on him staying fit anyway). There's a certain welsh international available who could do a job at RB for us; certainly in a back-up capacity.

    Hopefully Cameron Coxe can take this opportunity with both hands.

    If we are looking at Flint, there's no chance we'll be able to get him for £3m either.

    Prefer it, if he used his feet

    I think we already have the replacement in Curtis Nelson. Warnock has said pubically that he feels he could easily make the step up.

    We've got Bacuna who can play at right back and if Neil Warnock could bring himself to have Cameron Coxe or Ryan Price (who Hull and Portsmouth were, reportedly, interested in a few months ago) in the first team squad, then I'd say that would be sufficient if Peltier maintained the standard he showed last season, but, assuming he'll not be prepared to use what he sees as youngsters, Chris Gunter would be a decent, pretty cheap, short to medium term solution.

    Bacuna at right back. Shudder. Zero positional sense.

    To add; this is at a very advanced stage.

    There we go.

    Take a couple of £m off the fee. £3m rising.

    There's one, former, contributor to my blog who will be absolutely delighted by this news - as I say, I wish he was a bit younger and that he was as good a footballer as Bruno is, but, if the price is as you say, I'm not sure we could do much better given our manager's methods in the transfer market.
