Seems to be universally accepted that we need one of these old/experienced/past it/overpaid/slow/veterans - whatever you want to call them
Sooooooo who is going to be
I'll kick off with a couple to get you to bite!
James Collins - Just released by Laurel & Hardy at West Ham
Richard Keogh - You just know that SMc will sign one or two 'old boys' - most managers do sign former players
Any more suggestions to get everyone's heart rate up?  |  | | |  |

Firstly, doesn't necessarily need to be experienced, because Lynch and Baptiste are experienced, they just need to be good, because Lynch and Baptiste aren't very good.
Secondly, if those two useless old fcking dogs are the best/only options we are absolutely bang in trouble. |
I thought Baptiste turned out to be a bit of a revelation to be honest. Considering he was brought in as cover and spent a lot of the season almost single handedly keeping the opposition out while Lynch operated as the pace car for the Titanic, I felt he earn't his keep. Quite often was MOTM in mid season. Definitely useful to have around.
Lynch could, if he really cared, be a good CB but he has Mathew Rose injury skills and a second job as Father Christmas.
Getting Max Ehmer back could be an option? 26 now and captain at Gillingham. Have a Gills mate who says he is pretty decent and consistent. Knows the club and would probably develop again under McClaren. |  |

Ehmer's a very interesting call, I was hoping that he'd come through for us, it'd be pretty satisfying if he came back here successfully. And as you say, captains his club and according to wiki captained his age group all through his youth. | | | |

Costa Rica's CB in the upcoming WC is this guy:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendall_Waston
He's 30 years old, been with Vancouver for four years and captain for the past two. He's excellent in the air and has goals from set pieces in him. He's also been very good at schooling younger players around him. How he'd settle in the UK is – or even whether he'd want to come – is, of course, a question. But we could do a lot worse. | | | |

I was impressed by "Toto" Nsiala of Shrewsbury in todays League 1 PO final. Didn't get flustered under pressure, always had his head up in possession and made some nice passes. I looked him up and he is 26, plays for DR Congo and has around 230 senior appearances in the football league. [Post edited 27 May 2018 18:48]

I saw somewhere that we are one of several teams interested in Conor Goldson of Brighton but seems Rangers are very interested but he seems reluctant |  |

Shrewsbury: ‘Toto, we’ve had some interest from QPR. What do you think?’
Toto: ‘It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you’ |  | | |

QPR: 'Toto, we need an experienced center half - preferably better than the Ferdinands - are you interested?
Toto: 'I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be' |  | | |

Great call - love Waston and think he could be a Danny Shittu mk II for us. Not sure whether he'd swap Vancouver for London though? I'd imagine if he puts in some good performances in the World Cup he'll get better offers in Europe (even at 30). |  | | |

Me neither. He's got a family too and may not be looking for any sort of move at this stage. He's definitely got the tools though. | | | |

In true QPR style I remember him playing at right back never in the middle Its what we do |
No he did play centre half for sometime, regularly getting beat up by opposing centre forwards. |  | | |
