Stu, would you take a risk on Woodgate, considering he's going to be available at the end of the season? He's had this season to show his fitness with his home town club and he has come through with flying colours. He is obviously well adjusted to the Prem and he is available for a great price (I think I read £6-8M).
The benefit for us of signing Woodgate would be that we have 3 top CB's for 2 positions. Further to that it would also enable Rafa to switch to 3-5-2 a bit more, should the need or want arise.

I've already said yes without question. Especially the money he's going for. Yes its a gamble with his fitness but he's played alot this season. He's top class and for me easily the second best centre half in the league. He's got it all, pace, power, strength, composure on the ball, passing, heading.
I think with him, Agger, Carragher and Hyypia then we'd have a quality selection of centre halfs. Obviously Woodgate and Carragher being first choice. But with very able backup that would get into just about every team in the league outside the top four.
Plus you wouldn't have to play Woodgate all the time. You could occassionally rest him in the cups, the champions league and even if you dared to in the league against lesser sides.
