Mangala and Stones are a lot quicker than Mee.He'd probably play in about 10 games a season for us, and in each of those games, we'd probably have around 70% possession so I don't think it'd be a big, recurring issue, especially if Kyle Walker or Danilo are sitting like they have been doing most of this season when we attack. Mangala, Stones and Otamendi aren't fast centre-backs either yet we've coped.
If Ben Mee can become composed enough to play out from the back for us, I think he'd be a quality signing. Defensively, he is excellent. And for a centre back, he has a relatively low centre of gravity being 5foot11 which always helps. Would love to see him back at City and I'm sure he'd love to be back too.

Ben Mee is nowhere near the standard we need. We need to be signing a player that will eventually be our first choice centre back. That means no JFE’s or Ben Mee’s.

Neven Subotic is out of contract isn’t he? Wouldn’t he be a better stop gap than JFE?

we need squad players, especially at the back. for a first choice centre back your looking at maybe 50m, which isn't goig not happen now.
Considering his contract is expiring in the summer that is a little too much.
Would prefer we sign him rather than JFE or Martinez.
Yes, lets get another injury prone CB...

Came here to say the exact same. Bit steep to try to get a club outside of Serie A to pay that when they can just negotiate with the player...

You obviously haven't seen much of Lotito (Lazio owner). The fucker once called a press conference to celebrate a contract with a new detergent supplier saving them a few quid a season when the club were fighting relegation, he's got a serious brass neck.Came here to say the exact same.

It’s bad
Marc Bartra has allegedly been put on the market by BVB. An interesting choice - 27, ball playing CB, given his first team debut by Pep, Barca DNA etc
He'd be a good third choice option to have in my opinion and would definitely fit the mould of CB we're looking for. Wouldn't cost a significant amount either. He, however, may not want to go to another team where he is low down the pecking order.

We should be all over this.

Bartra, BVB just signed another CB..Not sure how he's been playing this season but he is good on the ball from what I remember at Barca..probably cheap considering they put him up for sale.
