Why does everyone keep mentioning Fabio Coentrao for the LB role? He is far more attack minded than Aleksandar Kolarov therefore he will be the same defensively as Kolarov a suspect! If we didn't have to rely on defending due to Mancini's formation and tactical positioning then Coentrao maybe a success, even Kolarov could be a success but at the moment we're a team who set set out defensively VS a lot of teams so there is no-way I would want Coentrao at City unless we suddenly changed our game plan and attacked the entire game.
Kolarov doesn't seem to possess the pace and skills that Coentrao seems to have but I don't think Coentrao could do any better defensively when we're having our off days and having to defend deep. I would much prefer Leighton Baines but he will be mega expensive due to Moyes and Everton's valuation + the Lescott saga.
If we wanted Coentrao why didn't we buy him at the end of last season? He had an impressive World-Cup in an attacking Portugal team so we could have bought him then, he may have been an expensive purchase due to his performance on the World-Stage but he surely would have cost the same amount as Kolarov did and nothing more.
