I think Otto would be ok in that role or even Stones if his form had not dropped off, too risky while he is off the pace..!
Lol. It sounds like a plan.Stick him on the bench against Arsenal and see if he can pick up a yellow by abusing the fourth official. Take the suspension while he's injured.
Ferny is one booking away from a two game ban so he needs to avoid picking up a booking in the next five matches (CL game doesn't count). We play Arsenal, Chelsea, Stoke, Everton and then the rags before the cut off point. He misses Arsenal and I suspect he will miss Chelsea. Booked against Stoke he misses Everton and the derby. Booked against Everton he misses the derby and Spurs and booked against the rags he misses Spurs and Swansea. Can he go until after the derby without a card - has he gone four games (as he misses Arsenal) without a card this season?
Cheers - so it is feasible he can go without a yellow until after the derby7 league matches in a row from 29 November till 27 December.
Vinny swapped the other way and became our greatest ever centre back.. I can't see anything not to like about my excellent recommendation on Stones. Ha ha CTIDI fully expected that to be his position when we signed him.
