Erik Sviatchenko will be out for around 6 weeks after picking up a knee injury against Rosenborg.

Not good news more so if we aren't going to bring back up in.

Surely back up will have to be brought in now. I know Brendan's saying bitton can play centre half but surely we can afford to go out and get an experienced centre half. He done it last year when he brought in big toure and we already had svitchenko, big jozo and boyata at the club. It makes absolutely no sense playing a player out his natural position when we have a small window of opportunity to bring someone in.

{Ed007's Note - And come September we'll have the new signing competing with Jozo, Boyata, Sviatchenko, Ajer and now Bitton. We moaned about having a bloated squad for years and now it's trimmed people don't want to use the squad we have and buy more squad players. For me Ajer or Bitton would be more than capable against Astana or why not move Lustig in there and play Gamboa at RB?
The only way we'd have brought in another CB is if one (Sviatchenko) left and I can't see that happening now.}

What about a left wing lustig type player. can cover kt and play lcb if required.

I think young Ralston has real promise. I'd rather he was giving Lustig a rest in bread and butter domestic games than Gamboa.

Ed

What are the odds of all 5 you mention being fit at the same time?

I just asked Paddy Power who suggested I would be better putting my money on a Sevco treble!

{Ed007's Note - That didn't happen.}
