my thinking on the defenders is

hooiveld will get some games when fit
miquel has possibly been signed to compete with olsson rather than as a CB
cuellar was only ever cover/a bit of a panic buy when bennett got injured

        That's not to necessarily say that I agree with the treatment of him (although we don't (NCFC) - Hendrikos, Oct 18, 20:12:49
