Sergio's best position would be on the wings,he's MGP's cover if i'm not wrong..... Left back cover for now would be Martin Olsson…..

Sergio’s best position would be on the wings,he’s MGP’s cover if i’m not wrong…..

I am not saying he is or should be first choice, but I do feel he's fine as cover for Nelson, Samba and Zura. Plenty of cover on the right I think, but who is our cover for left back now that Berner is injured? Also, does anyone know if there are any kids ready or near ready for the leap to the first team? Agree about midfield, 1 creative midfielder would be great. What is Sergio Peter's best position? Is he more of a wide-man? Do we still have Henchoz?

I'd rather get the right player and wait longer than be rushed into spending money on someone who isn't worthwhile. Given how little Hughes has spent this summer and in his entire time at Blackburn, I certainly am more than happy to trust in his judgement!

I see the defence as a solid unit, with able back up. We don't need a right back, Emerson, Khiz and Ooijer can all play RB. Midfield however does worry me, and a player of Arteta quality would be a needed addition to the squad. We need to keep hold of Gamst Pedersen as their isn't a player to replace him at the moment. Sergio Peter is the obvious player, but he isn't in the same league as MGP However Mark Hughes is the player to address this and so far he's always come up trumps.

With Ryan Nelsen and Zurab Khizanishvili I think we have a decent defence. People might laugh but I think we'll miss Andy Todd and could do with a replacement. I'd say a right back and a central defender as cover would do it... Ooijer is a Dutch International and has played in Europe and Samba is remarkable for someone so young.

He's good enough for most teams in the Prem..... (oh sorry you meant he's leaving! Yeah Right) As for the defence Saba & Nelsen form a good partnership at the back, Plus Ooijer is still a full Dutch international so still a quality RB! As for midfield Reid if he gets fit will be a quality player this year, but in all fairness we do need another creative midfielder. id like to see Kevin Nolan at Ewood Park!

Samba and Ooijer aren't players who I'd bank a European spot on, to be honest. Agreed, forgot Reid and Emerton (who’s quite good btw).

It'd be better if you said which position we are weak in. Central Midfield, Central Defense? We need a right back I think but other than that...
