If we could get him back for reasonable money then absolutely - in a previous thread it was stated he was on £65k a week & we had offered him £35k - (assuming any of that is true) he has been out had a look around & apparently only Rangers are interested - maybe a bit more money, maybe working for Gerrard had some interest but its still a long journey to Scotland for what would probably be only one year - he could negotiate the deal up a bit , sign for us tomorrow, no long journey, stay with the same club, working relationships etc etc, help us out when required in the Prem & progress to a coaching role when the time comes (all in London)

I hear what your saying, my thoughts would be that we have struggled there historically through injuries, if Tomkins picks up another injury & something happens to Anderson we are relying on Guehi & Kouyoute (or Kelly) against strong opposition, wheras we do know what we are getting with Cahill (if we complete the re signing)& at least for this coming season we will have sidestepped a potential banana skin for a reasonable cost - this time next year everyone will be that bit older & then we probably wont need him -

Also personally I dont go along with the thoughts of either Jairo or Joel Ward stepping into that centre back position, its just too important & I dont believe they have the height - also they will probably be required elsewhere.

Just my tuppence worth -
