Our right back position is a major concern; Arbeloa wants to leave England, Finnan is out of favour and Degen is useless. Assuming that we sell either or both Finnan and Arbeloa we should make a move for Corluka is is unsettled at City. Rumours abound that he could be off to Villa for £5m which is an absolute steal. He was brilliant for City last season and very impressive for Croatia in Euro '08, he is an excellent defender and very comfortable going forward.
We would probably expect £5m for Arbeloa and £2m for Finnan so a bid of £5m for Corluka would be self-financed and solve our RB problem.
