Centre-back

Not a massive fan of Koscielny, he reminds me too much of a high end Richard Dunne. Looks great while the going is good, but he's always on the verge of either giving away a penalty, scoring an own goal or getting sent off. He seems to fall apart when the team are under pressure
 
Think he has three years on his contract signed a new deal recently. He would have been my first choice to partner Kompany but can't see him moving now.
 
Koscielny signed a contract just last month.

Italian transfer portal Calciomercato says Roma could soon sell Benatia to City because they're closing a deal for highly rated Balanta.

But then you have others saying Mangala could still be happening, so we still don't really know until someone reliable prints something.

I would go for Pirlo to partner Vinny, play him as a center half where we can use his passing range.
Why not put him in goal? Far better option.

We should just buy Balanta now rather than in 2yrs time for 40m £££.

Tim Vickery raves big time about Balanta but said he has gone through the second season loss of form, but he did win the Torneo Final title with River a month ago.

Just found this video on YouTube, it was from a game when River Plate played San Lorenzo last ugust so he was 20 years old here.

I think player versus team videos give a better indication of compilation videos, so here is one of them

I would buy him and loan him.
 
So we've agreed a fee and terms for Mehdi Benatia (Roma)
and seemingly
We've also agreed a fee with Porto for Eliaquim Mangala

Which one are we getting or are we getting both?
I hope we're not selling Vincent!

Which ever happens first.
1) Roma agree for fee ( hopefully not including Nastasić)
2) Mangala decides to join

hopefully number 1!! we should buy for world class NOW and not potential and possible world class! people mention age but benatia is coming into the prime of his career and would only get better still! if 27 is now classed as old than I`m ancient at 37!

I would hope it doesn't come to it,however,i wonder who plan C is?

shouldn't need one glenn! through numerous outlets and even di marzio has confirmed mangala isn't that keen to come to city or Manchester then we really should just get benatia in the door as he desperately wants to come!
 
I dont understand why we never went for Mats Hummels, him and Kompany would be a class partnership, he's at a good age of 25 and he wouldn't cost much more than Mangala.
