Our back line would be much stronger with him in it than M'voto, but I get the feeling Danny is trying to get rid of him as soon as possible (same as Kennedy). Did he miss the Italy trip or am I making that up?
I would be very happy if Cranie stayed and led our back line this season, although I do feel he will still secure a move before the big kick off. I'm not a big fan of M'Voto and see him as no better than a mistake-prone back up, although if Cranie goes there is no one to back up. Which worries me still. I'd love to see the back of Kennedy and still hope he buggers off asap. With that in mind, we still need at least 1 and possibly 2 new centre backs (if Cranie goes). I'd have no problem with Nyatanga starting at left back this season and giving him a run there whilst Kennedy brushes his hair elsewhere.
