Demichelis

A stop-gap makes sense to me.

We have 3 central defenders out at the moment. At first glance a situation highly unlikely to happen again, but look at the injury records of Micah and Kompany. They may both be due back soon, but how long until they are injured again?

Were as a CB is urgently needed isn't this bloke in his 30s???

Should have kept hold of Kolo tbh.

Don't get why were not in for that toby Alderwiereld

Agree... infact, if we could we d be better signing both him and demichealis! Lescott will struggle playing a higher tempo game where concentration, decision making and his skill on the ball will be put under pressure... his best chance of going to brazil with England is signing somewhere else this window....

Apparently Kolo has lost half a stone at the dippers, begs the question why couldnt he be arsed losing half a stone at City

Kolo wasn't good enough hence why he was allowed to leave, the fuck up was not replacing him

If Boyata isnt getting a game now he never will. Got to be a better option than Garcia, him and Lescott just don't go together.

I think Pellegrini thought he was playing it safe by going with the "experienced pro" ahead of the relatively young kid. I understood his decision even though I thought it was wrong. Boyata is probably not good enough but he's a better centre back than Garcia.

I agree, but none of the goals conceded against Cardiff were due to any faults by these two, right?
They did look painfully slow on the counter though, and I'd be very surprised to see them to paired up again against an opponent with pace up front.

Maybe he's back on his wife's pills?

I think the 120k off the wage bill was a factor too.

Demichellis is painfully slow as well
