I am Cardiff and have 20 million to spend on my 3rd season in the Premiership on original patch. I have just signed Breno and want another class centre back to partner him as I was leaking goals last season, my only good centre back was Danny Shittu.

After searching for players I have 1 of the following centre backs to choose from who will join me:

Curtis Davies - 11 million
Martin Skrtel - 10 million
Waldo Ponce - 5.5 million
Gabriel Tamas - 8 million

I am tempted to get Davies because he has a very high concentration level and he's pacey, or is there someone better out there?

I also need a left back as my first choice left back Herman Hreidarsson is getting old now, I tried getting Marseille's Taiwo for 13.5 million but he won't join me, so i've just put in a bid for Aurelio. Any other suggestions?

IRL, Skrtel looks like a complete waste of space tbh(if you can't defend against Havant, how do you defend against Chelsea?). However, in the game he appears to be quite good. However, he is pricey.
Curtis Davies is good, and may or may not make it to the England team, depending on his progress.
Tamas is another good one, i strongly recommend him.
sorry, haven't heard of Ponce.
