Central defender rumours

Think we certainly need to recruit a decent centre half as surely Bartley should now be a back-up only consideration (like Prando, I would have preferred to retain Ajayi for this role). Lots of rumours about our interest in Liverpool's Nat Phillips but then there are likely to be quite a few other clubs after him too. I've read that Kipre may now be available again so maybe worth a look? Whilst on the subject of former players, 35 year old Dawson is also available I hear :D
