Centre back options

[J_MCFC21]

If its not a Extra CB why not keep Mangala or Use tosin? cant see it being back up myself, as much as i love Kompany his fitness is a worry

Naive from city. Kompany has been a walking injury for two seasons. He might have got over his muscle problems, but I can't be to hopeful of that.

I mean it makes sense. If Vinny stays fit and we bring in someone like say, Boateng, then any time we play a back four and everyone is fully fit it will be VK and JB. Which leaves not much playing time for at least one of Stones or Otamendi. Both of those two are good with Vinny, just not with each other.

I'm not comfortable with only having 3 full backs now that Kolarov is gone.

If we can get the relatively cheap option at CB and LB then I would do that rather than just one or the other.

Kieran Tierney from Celtic and Ben Gibson from Boro would be good squad editions in my opinion.

Not good

Not necessarily bad though, we've got our big name big price defenders, they haven't done great - perhaps an older veteran to just lead Stones or Otamendi when Kompany isn't there will do better.

Also maybe it points to the idea they feel they've actually fixed Vinny.

I wonder if Pep will give Mangala a chance?

Nope ..we will sign a centre back

No chance

Would Inigo Martinez be considered a big name defender?
