You can get one player from the other comp and it works both ways.
His run and hitting the crossbar from 35 yards in the rain soaked game last December showed he has class.

city started this season with 3 right center backs and no left center backs just a lot of players who could play there, its not surprising that we are linked to what is probably the best center back in the league. we should have bought him before mdm and mangala we would have saved a lot and won more but that has gone now . my point is we now need 2 players for this position a first team player and a back up, dijk and hause would be my first choice

Of all the central defenders we've had over the years since the takeover we've only really got one partnership right for a sustained period of time and that was Kompany and Lescott and Vincent was actually signed pre-takeover.
For the two years they partnered each other consistently, they were one of the best partnerships in Europe.
For about six months Kompany and Demichelis were good together but that didn't last.
All the others have been hit and miss or poor.
Nedum was average
Dunne was great but his time was up (he could have stayed to be a squad player for a year or two though)
Ben Haim was bobbins
Kolo was panic stations at times, missing from the defensive line at others or class - inconsistent
Kompany was magnificent but is just a walking injury now and even when fit hasn't played well for two years
Boateng was scared of his own shadow and it was clear he didn't want to be with us
Lescott was brilliant for us, just as good and better than Kompany at times, won POTS at West Brom after leaving us and then has just faded away now
Boyata was average
Savic was average
Nastasic looked just like John Stones now, class at times, average at others - inconsistent
Demichelis started poorly, was the best defender at the club for a year then ended poorly
Rekik was alright, didn't see much of him
Mangala had a handful of good games but was clearly not good enough through his inconsistency and erraticness and was a poor bit of business
Otamendi puts in some brilliant tackles at times and has good games but has very erratic games where he dives in too much and gets sucked in too much - inconsistent
Stones is just like Nastasic, class at times, average at others - inconsistent
It's about time we got it right and for me Virgil van Dijk looks like the one for me, he's got everything! Partner him with Stones and let's stick with them for a few years and have them form a proper partnership together.

Bonucci is out for the next 3 months it would seem.

What about Adarabioyo ? The only youngster that hasn't taken a real chance in the first team.

Good player, he lives in Hale Barns so would be happy to move back here.Sorta impressed with Burnley's Michael Keane. VVD should be the top target though.
