Just spoke to a Spurs friend of mine.

He rates Chimbonda a lot and say he can play everywhere in the back four.

I think he's a great player.... if we can get his head straight and focused on the job in hand

Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees...and something just dawned on me.

I think Salgado is being seen in the Hierro role as a midfield anchor man.

That would explain the 'three right backs' puzzle which had me scratching my head a bit on Chimbonda myself.

That would give you:

RB - Jacobsen or Chimbonda.

CB - Samba, Nelsen, Givet or Chimbonda.

LB - Givet or the newbie*.

That is a pretty impressive choice and does not include Zurab. Strong and experienced. Like that.

*This is not an excuse to start a new thread. ;)

Hopefully Pompey will make a bid, i reckon he would chose them over us.

Are you losing it Ribble? Anybody choosing Pompey will be crazy right now. That club is in disarray even if a takeover is completed. The only chance Chimbonda might reject us, if we dont agree on personal terms.

And if the Newbie is the player discussed he will fit right in.

How long do you think it'll take to get this up on f**kwit365.co.uk? ;) Will you reveal the 'newbie' at 11pm tonight or is it likely to come out ahead of time?

Nicko, heard any ideas on whats going to happen with Emerton?

I know a lot of fans on here reckon that he could play a midfield role, i think he should be tested there but i think there is no guarantee he would be a success there. Emerton is a decent enough right back imo, worked very well on the overlap with Bentley.

Chimbonda is average at 3 positions, shouldn't be our first starter in centre, left or right back. With the wages he is on surely he is a very expensive cover player who may not get much gametime?

I'd rather we sold Warnock, brought in a specialist left back and bring in a central midfielder. Salgado, Jacobsen and Emerton can play right back, Zurab is decent enough in defence.

Are you losing it Ribble? Anybody choosing Pompey will be crazy right now. That club is in disarray even if a takeover is completed. The only chance Chimbonda might reject us, if we dont agree on personal terms.

I don't know about that. In Chimbonda's case he might prefer to stay down south and with the rumours that the takeover is complete they could offer him bigger wages. I also think he would get more game time at Pompey than at Rovers, i reckon he would be first choice there.

Chimbonda must be seen as a starter, from what I've seen he is good enough.

Salgado in midfield is an interesting plan, but let's not kid ourselves - Fernando Hierro was one of the best central defenders in the world, and had the vision and the technique of a midfielder. Salgado is a classic full back, who likes to burst forward - I am unsure whether the passing and vision is there to make it as a midfielder.

We'll see though. The defence looks sound to me, although I would like Emerton to play right back. Who will play with Salgado by the way, N'Zonzi or a more attacking player?

There seems to be a misconception that Sam turned Hierro into a defensive midfielder. For everyones information, Hierro started his career in that position and played there quite alot for both Spain and Real.

I think Chimbonda will be first choice RB.

Robinson

Chimbonda-Samba-Nelsen-Newbie

Jacobsen-Zurab-Givet-Olsson

Diouf-Dunn-Grella-Pedersen

Nzonzi-Andrews-Reid

Red is first choice, blue is back up.

No way is Givet not first choice, the man is solid as a rock, a real gem from Sam.
