Good to see him and Vidal on the bench yesterday - clearly they impressed Mancini in the week.

i was in a box yesterday, and after the game there was a little training session going on. i thought he was ade at first,he is massive..

ps.. weiss looked fucking awsome aswell.

Strange I have seen him a few times in reserve games and training and I have never thought of him as huge. Quite a tall lad for sure and a good header of the ball but not a big frame like Clayton McDonald. Now there's a huge guy who could be called a barn door.

havent we also got another defender , clayton mcdonald i think , 6'6

what subs did he make yesterday , quite gutted actually , my family has a party every boxing day , last year i didnt go because i was at the hull game , quite a lot of family were there who i hadnt seen for a long time , opted to go there this year tho so missed the game , first home game missed in a long time.

I know one thing for sure - I won't be having a bellyfull of John Smith's and asking him outside.

Nice to see some more kids on the bench, even though I thought the next CB to appear on the first team teamsheet was gonna be Mee, anyone know if he's injured or does RM just rate Boyata more?

Also thought with the injuries, Benjani would have been on the bench, is he injured again?

That was my first thoughts when I saw the squad. I really rate Vidal's game and he is something to be excited about in the future. I was wondering Boyata's measurables as well, if he and Clayton McDonald are the future back there then I would hate to play us. It guts me we can't see more of them during cup play but I understand we need the hardware. Add Nils Zander to the mix and we have a future back 4.

Sorry but McDonald will not be centre half in a future City prem side , he simply isn't that level of player. Probably neither will Vidal be.

Watching him play he reminds me of a cross between Kompany and Distin

²Great prospect, kompany style
Saw him play against Swiss with Belgiums u19
