Totally agree, hence my worry pre season that we did not strengthen the defence.
We played Kompany at the business end of last season and he was outstanding, especially his leadership qualities. Pep picked him above John Stones for a reason.
The captain needed to be replaced and we did not, something in my opinion we will live to regret, and that was even before Laporte's injury.
agreed - we should have done but I also agree on the club not paying the fee for Maguire...it was a ridiculous amount of money and despite our current injury situation I belive the club did right in not paying it. We need to find a cheaper alternative however and i think this is where the struggle is and it comes down to foreign spots vs English players (could be wrong as Ive never really understood it!!!)
