Memes aside, Perarnau is a legit Guardiola insider and if he says we intend to get both, then we intend to get both. Hopefully it works out.



Alderweireld shits on VVD, as does Vertonghen. A fit Vinny is a cut above and you could argue Koscielny is also.

Alderweireld, VVD are the best. Vinnie would be amongst them two but he can't stay fit.
 
Koscielny is somewhat underrated in my view. He's been one of the Premier League's best centre backs for quite a few years now.

Is that a joke? Alderweireld and VVD are not fit to lace Vinnie's boots. Make no mistake, both of the them are great CBs, but there is a huge difference between truly world class and great CBs. Vinnie has been injured more times than those two have played in the last 2 seasons, yet whenever he comes back, his game is on point. We see Aguero and KdB, who are world class players too, taking time to learn Pep's methods and then you have Vinnie who doesn't even need a single training session to understand the new system. If Vinnie was to never see the training pitch for 6 months and get randomly dropped into a game, he would still be the best defender on the pitch. He's a fuckin genius.
 
I don't know where I'd go to look for this – and it's off topic, of course – but my strong impression is that Vinny was not injured during our 2011-12 season (and that that was an absolutely crucial part of the whole success story of that year) and that Mancini played him in virtually every game. Now that's impossible, of course, but if he was injred it was surely for a very short period? Anybody got the stat on this?

Looks like you may be right.

I think we can get away with one RB (Walker) and have people cover (Dihno) but we definitely need 2 left backs. Fingers crossed this guy is one of them as he was outstanding when we played them and has been all season.

Agreed.

Fernandinho will be our back up right back next season, but at left back we will almost certainly buy two.

Kolarov is not a left back anymore and will be a reserve central defender.
 
I agree we need two but can't help thinking Mendy and Bertrand is overkill in terms of likely transfer fees. Especially if we're going back for Hernandez next summer.
