Fernandinho has been top today. Forget pogba him and Yaya when on form are unstoppable.

Has Otamendi ever been pushed to cdm? He likes to push forward anyway so maybe pellegrini is thinking of playing him just in front of Mangala and kompany as extra protection. If so it could work really well.

Tbh if Mangala stays he will be pushed to LB no doubt forcing clichy out to inter probably.

They still owe us 20m don't they so surely mangala doesn't have to go to sweeten a deal? That would leave Mangala and Otamendi for one position and Vinny and Denayer for another given Demi makes way in Jan.

Any updates since last night?

Get KDB and Otamendi. Play Otamendi next to Vinny and if need be Mangala CDM. He likes to push forward anyway and gives us that extra layer of defence. Always an option.

This guy is a warrior tbh. He and kompany would bully every striker in Europe. And not only this playing alongside his fellow countryman in Zaba would create a heaping of confidence off the bat. We could loan out mangala for a season to Valencia to allow him to progress his game further against...

Is there any situation where sterling silva de bruyne and pedro play in the same team. Like de bruyne dropping to cm next to yaya and pedro on the wing. (To clarify I prefer de bruyne over pedro any day but with this apparent bid being placed it makes me wonder if we are slowly backing away from...

Kun not gonna start this week?

Reckon someone like otamendi for CB for long term Demi replacement or CDM for long term Dinho replacement.

If this is legit its big news. Thursday signing could be realistic.

At least with the newspapers calling him a flop and nobody giving us the light of day it allows for us to prove them wrong by winning the title again and for De Bruyne to knock out 10 goals and 20 assists for us. I mean imagine the scenes!

I suppose the only other worry could be mascheranos age. He's 30 now I believe so possibly might not get anymore from him than we would from Dinho.

So more 433 so the midfield is stacked more allowing for greater defensive ability over 4321.

Who do we think could be our realistic starting XI this season? After De Bruyne I feel we will just have enough time to get Sandro and Otamendi deals sorted. Sandro being the most urgent of the two.

If we were to get these it would mean a serious lineup. However will take a lot to get everyone. Would be happy with Sandro and Otamendi after De Bruyne.

Think Godin said he isn't coming so Otamendi to replace him in this 100% He'd fit right in along his international teammates Zaba and Mascherano (if we get him)

Only way I could see it working is a 4411 formation so we don't have 2 strikers on the last man.

I like this. Denayer Kompany Mangala will do solid jobs at CB this season. Sandro is young and talented and will walk into our LB. De Bruyne obviously all round perfect player for us. Pogba whilst a bit of a long shot he's probably going to win the Ballon Dor in his career he's always improving...
