It seems CR is satisfied with using Keenan, Morris and De Lucas to back up Lamps and Manu. Most of us have said we think a solid, experienced backup CM is needed due to Petit's injury history and the current backup's inexperience. Baggio was looked at but that appears off for now. Why not try and sign Effenberg on a 1-year deal? He wanted to come to Engalnd before but his wages were too high. Sign him for a 20k per week contract and if he proves capable then he would be able to sign for another club after this season. He'd be as good as Baggio and wouldn't be asked to play too often. Just an idea...

Stefan Effenberg, the out-of-work midfielder who has failed to strike a playing deal this summer despite talks with Manchester City, Benfica and Besiktas, has threatened to retire unless someone offers him something acceptable. "The deadline is next Wednesday," he told German rag Bild Zeitung. "If no offers have come in by then, I will quit." Well, that's a bit of a lazy attitude, coming from a man whose views on the unemployed are slightly to the right of Norman Tebbit.
