With centre half looking like area needing covered for new season would signing Sviachencko back be an option.

I liked Sviachencko. He appeared to be a nice person but i think we remember him through rose tinted glasses. He wasnt the best centre back. One of his problems was his pace so no thanks for me.

He never was good enough and no it wouldn’t be a good option in my opinion. We should be aiming for much higher than that. Ajer is already a better CB than he ever was.

Good CB but lacked of pace was an issue with our style of play.

Too many silly fouls in dangerous areas. A nice lad by all accounts but I don’t get why a lot of fans think he’s the answer. Mind watching him against linfield and Andy effing waterworth bullied him the whole game.

I think we should start exploring some of the danish u21 market they are ranked 5th I believe so must have some good talents their at good prices unlike English u21 players who cost a fortune and they are ranked 4th in under21, a right back option could be rasmus kristensen looks a good player 7 goals in 16 games for his country, Joachim Anderson 6ft 4 cb would be perfect alongside ajar in my opinion Robert skov winger scored loads for Copenhagen would be a great buy along with Markus ingvartsen who is a great forward I think these guys could be bought at a good price low wages and certainly improve us.

Also regairding toljan I think we should buy him if we can get him on the cheap as I think he will get better and better, if he was as good at defending as teirney he would be out with our prove range he’s a rough diamond with severe pace he will be a great right back as long as we give him the chance great talent.

Correct me if I’m wrong but was it not Simunovic and Sviachenko for most of the invincible season? If so, would that paring not work again?
{Ed007's Note - Big Sviatchenko wasn't everybody's cup of tea but he was a no nonsense old type of CB and a massive upgrade on the likes of Hendry. Obviously Rodgers didn't like him because he wasn't the best at passing it about the back (and Boyata is?) but for me he would have been a Lennon type of player - and sometimes that's what you need.
I'd love us to find a 20ish-year old Nemanja Vidic type to nurture as a partnership with Ajer. 4 CBs, 2 ball players and 2 hard battling blood and guts warriors that would throw their granny at a shot to stop a goal and then mix and match as games/fitness etc dictate.

I always thought he was strong in the air with an added touch of physicality that would make you feel reluctant to go up for a high ball with him again. A bit like Bobo although not quite as scary.
