We bidded for the pair according to the Atletico president
Cheers mate, didn't know that.
Was it a recent bid?

Think a CB isn't as necessary now Vinny looks back to himself. Although I'm still apprehensive about his fitness as I'm sure we all are. But I'd like to see how our current centre halves do with proper full backs alongside them, and then assess our need for a centre half after pre-season.
I'm sure I seen Sam Lee saying on twitter that Otamendi will most likely be staying, Stones won't be going anywhere and that leaves Komps and Kolarov. If Kompany can maintain this run without injury, then I don't think he'll be sold. So by my judgement Kolarov would be sold to make way for a new CB. Adarabioyo isn't signing a new contract so who would step up if we have injuries? Denayer is out on loan again according to reports so that would leave Humphreys to come in if required.
If we do sign a new CB, with Van Dijk, Bonucci, Laporte and Alderweireld linked, then who sits on the bench and who doesn't even get in the squad?
whilst i would love Van Dijk i think his price like the others you mentioned may well be too much for us this year with other areas the priority . full backs will totally change city next year, but we do need a cb we have 3 right sided cb Kompany injury prone Ottamendi unstable and Stones young , i can see Kolarov moving into the left cb but he is great in small doses i would buy Mings young english quick tall and strong just what we need if we ever go with 3 at the back. there is no need to drop anyone from the squad and who ends up on the bench is down to fitness and formThink a CB isn't as necessary now Vinny looks back to himself.

well he definetly would be cheaper but he is a rigid right sided cb and mings was a left wing backI don't think Mings brings anything to the table... Rather have Tosin play a few games, he is young, tall and strong.
