Central Defenders Required ! Experience Neccessary

International central defenders of repute should apply with their CV to Ronald Koeman C/O St Mary's Stadium Southampton.

International central defenders should start queueing at St Mary's Stadium after the injury to Florin Gardos left Saints rather short at the back.

There will be no shortage however of potential applicants put forward by the media as every football agent with a central defender on his books will be e mailing his clients cv to the club whilst speaking on his mobile to his press contacts to tell them he is already in contact with Southampton Football Club.

The Daily Echo has already revealed that it is planning a colour supplement in Monday night's edition where all 300 applicants will have their various merits covered in full.

First to be linked is a Croatian International defender who has previously been sold for in excess of £20 million but has not been in favour at his current club since almost hitting a Turkish airliner with the ball last season, his selling points are that he has previously lived on the South Coast, leaving 12 months ago with his head departing around two weeks before that.

He will be available for far less than previously advertised with a sale price of around £5 million (Previously on sale for 28 days in the Southampton store at £20 million between 6th July & 4th August 2014).
