Raises some questions still on using him as a solution for CB. Perhaps MH will want him there until Jan when we can look to strengthen in that position again.

Valid points...

I'll do a summary here about Barton if they want...

He's a thug who is bound to get sent off at least once... (However I still like him)

I think we'll get Samba in January tbh, from what i've seen MBia is a cracking centre back & will be good with Nelsen

[W12hoops]

How about M'bia and Samba at Cb......

[Ginger Ninja]

im concerned about the paragraph where it says he gets injured regularly...

and really wants to play CM!!

and really wants to play CM!!

Well he can bring the ball out of defence then.....

[Busheyboy]

let's give him a chance. I think MH knows where our weaknesses lie and is addressing it. If Mbia is anywhere near as good as we've heard, then we've got a top class player

What if he was bought because of this whole Diakite thing? So he might be played at defensive mid instead of centre back.

All we need is a decent defensive coach. Steve Bould has worked wonders at Arsenal.

Excellent point. It's the coaching side that worries me (for which the manager is ultimately responsible). We haven't sorted the CB thing, may as well face it, all the more reason for getting in someone who knows wtf is going on back there. Because no one else seems to.
