Smalling is quality and will get better. I think Evans will stick round as 4th choice, he's gone a bit backwards recently but he can still be useful enough. No room for Brown for me personally, though SAF might keep him round.
[/QUOTE]Was reading something like this on ESPN recently, must say, if Brown is happy to train every week and not actually have any game time than he's not a bad reserve.

The Porto (I think) defender Rolando has been linked, as well as Jack Rodwell. Rodwell could fill two gaps as he is currently a midfielder but is reportedly a real option in a back four, or at least could become one in the future.
