I think we're all agreed that we've made some pretty good signings this transfer window.
Putting aside the Berbatov and Keane question, there's something that is preying on my mind. As the new season approaches and the end of the transfer window comes closer, I'm getting more and more worried that we haven't signed any defenders.
Now if the reports are true that Chimbonda, Kaboul, Gardiner, Lee, Rocha, and Stalteri are all leaving, then we're going to be left with a grand total of 8 defenders.
Are those 8 defenders enough to be going along with? They break down into 5 fullbacks (Bale, Hutton, Gilberto, Gunter, and BAE) and 3 centrebacks (Woodgate, Ledley and Dawson). Am I worrying over nothing, or should we be getting at the very least another centreback? Yet, we haven't been linked with anyone other than Dunne, who's signed on with Man City.
I know there's still more than a month to go, but there doesn't seem to be much on the horizon in terms of defenders.
