keep one centre half...who?

[Thaksinssoldier]

Kompany
Demichelis
Mangala
Otamendi

You only get to carry one into Pep's squad next year.

Who do you choose and why?

***Note: Don't say Denayer, I'm asking about these 4 specifically and assume Jason will be added***

 

[Tugay One Cup]

I thought Yaya's supposed to be playing centre back for us next season?

Failing that, Kompany. Demichelis is on his way out, can't see Mangala improving enough and there's no guarantee Pep will be able to find the other half of Otamendi's brain.

His injuries aren't going away but I'd rather have an ace in the pack than three jokers in my hand.

 

[DClarkMiamiU]

You mean Center Back...not half.
and it would be Mangala because of potential.

 

[Callum_Mcfc]

none of them - we bring Deneyar back to us and make him into the brilliant player that he already looked.

 

[moomba]

Kompany. Then Mangala.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

None.

Kompany can't be relied upon and his injuries will only get worse not better.

Demichelis he is utter dogshit.

Managla simply not good enough.

Otamendi wouldn't get in my pub team he is absolutely gash.

Keep Deneyar, promote the young lad that did so well at Chelsea in the cup, and then buy two/three Centre Halves.

 

[CatMan]

Otamendi

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

kompany and denayer

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Out of those four, Otamendi although I would like to see Denayer.

 

[There is a Light]

Kompany

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Out of those four, Otamendi although I would like to see Denayer.

I purposely didn't include him in the bunch on the assumption he will have his chance.

Mangala.

Totally agree with this, he should have played this season not farmed out to the back of beyond, he was on fire pre season and he should be starting next season alongside Vinny with Otamendi rotated between the pair of them so they can get the rest they need to maintain their fitness and focus, also to reduce the risk of Injuries..

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Dave Watson played centre half for us in the 1970's, I assume somewhere along the time line between then and 2016, the term Centre Back was created. I suppose inside and outside forwards don't exist any more.

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

Otamendi. Pep can make him even better and I don't think Vinnie can get over his injury problems.

 

[bugsyblue]

Otamendi

 

[TheRubberRing]

Mangala

 

[Andouble]

Otamendi, assuming Pep will make him do 100 push-ups or similar as punishment for every time he goes to ground.

 

[bellsouth]

Mangala just ahead of Otamendi. If you could be certain that they understood Vinnies injuries and could do something about them, then it would be him obviously, but I think we're beyond that now so go for Mangala as I think he can be coached to be better and dependent on bringing a leader type to play alonsgside.
