There's been loads of excitement (rightly so) recently at the prospect of a Stones-Laporte combination for the future.
But I think as a result people are maybe being a little too quick to write off Otamendi, certainly in the short term. He was our best centre back last season and has shown massive signs of improvement at every step since Guardiola joined. And he's reliable to be available considering he has a good injury record.
He might not be the 1st choice, and it's easy to think that given Stones and Laporte's respective styles and potentials. But I still think there'll plenty of games he'll feature in beyond just being for rotation.
How do people see his season going?
