I would agree with you on Otamendi and Vinnie. Denayer is of the same type of player as Stones, quite skillful and can play with the ball, but I haven't really seen much of Denayer to say he's better at defending than Stones (I only really watched him whilst he was at Celtic). But I'd strongly disagree with you on Mangala. I think his clumsiness on the ball has gotten us into a lot more trouble than his pace and long legs has got us out of. I really do think Mangala is bloody terrible.
Only passing on info from the girl who has printed his top. No clue about when we announce it or when media coverage happens. Only know that the shirt has been made this afternoon. My friend has no reason whatsoever to make something like this up.
Turn it in ya numpty,before you get another warning.We're at the stage of not 'if' but 'when'.
lets hope this comes off soon
the good think is that Stones has been playing for everton so his fitness levels should be at least on a par to the rest of our squad and the fact that he knows the prem will mean he could go straight into the starting 11 with only a couple of days prep if needed....whether pep does this or not is his call but he could do it if he thinks we need it
Strange he's taken 24 when he's had 26 all his career up to now and it's open at citydeal done. He will wear number 24
