I think Rossi and Mullen are perfectly fine starting CB's, and Durante is very good as cover, with Fox/Lowry waiting in the wings. That is not our problem area. Our problem is Ridenton in the middle of the park, and the lack of depth out wide.

I agree with that. Our backline may be leaky, but I think Darije has cottoned on to that now and might consider tinkering around Dura's role.

On the other hand, there isn't enough quality cover for Paracki and Ridenton.  Paracki is a proper replacement for Riera, Vince or perhaps even Roly in his original position at No. 4, but if he picks up an injury or suspension we'd be stuffed without an experienced DM backup.

We do not need a new forward/winger, our need is either a starting midfielder or starting centre back. If going with a CB, that means dropping Durante. Either he Rossi or both will be gone next year anyway.

CB is the position we have the most cover for in the squad, and you want us to sign yet another CB? Okay.
Cover does not necessarily equate to quality - ok?
