Roeder is simply not going to solve the defensive problem and has failed to make any attempt to patch up our back four. He could have tried a back three with wingbacks, a straight back three or even a sweeper with Carrick performing that role.
Instead what has he done: bought Lee Bowyer and Les Ferdinand. Admittedly Bowyer is a great signing but where is our new centreback?
Not many teams loan their best Central defenders out and you can't loan to other Prem clubs anyway (we don't want a lower division defender-do we?).
So if Roeder doesn't want to buy a defender where is he going to loan one from? Abroad? I'm sure every foreign defender would love to come to the bottom team in the prem, with the worst defensive record.
West Ham's defence. Those little slip-ups of death. How I loathe them.

To be honest, I don't care, I'm a Man Utd Supporter, but I think O'Leary would do well at West Ham...he's been able to get the best out of players who are pants such as Viduka and Dacout, who used to be worth a combined value of £45m but are now worth about a combined value of £18m!

O'Leary? You want West Ham to spend an irredeemable fortune on players that can't make the grade, only to be left with enormous debts and no gain to show for it?
Better that you freshen up your game by playing first division football for, let's face it, two or three seasons.
