For CB, we hv Whitbread...even Traore or Josemi 
can be used. On the rite, looks like it's Gracia, Cisse, Pongolle or Potter will fill the role. Even Finnan can be used with Barragan covering him on the rite. I'm oso hoping Kewell can soon repay Beni's his faith/patience.

I think medjani did well in friendlies i saw, dunno why pool want to loan him to metz when he did so well.
