Demichelis

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Whoever we play at CB they need midfield cover and they won't get it with Yaya and Fernanhino.

IMO we need one of Barry, Rodwell or Milner with Fernandhino and Yaya pushed further forward which would mean playing 1 CF (Aguero).

With Liverpool signing ilori and maybe Sakho, they'd also have Toure, Skrtel and Agger.

Begs the question, could we not have kept Kolo?

Spurs also have Chiriches, Vertonghen, Dawson, Gallas and Kaboul.

Surely we need better strength in depth like this?

Why would we have kept kolo when he wanted to leave, was on ridiculous wages and is an inferior player to Demichelis.
Also, Liverpool won't sign Sakho and Spurs have released Gallas.

We have Kompany, Nastasic, Lescott and Boyata (Richards, Rodwell and Garcia can also play there). Add Demichelis and we have better options than Liverpool or Spurs.

So we have 3 decent centre backs, less than the others. Have you watched Demichelis recently? Rather have Kolo and the extra wages probably worth it!

Hopefully we've signed Alderweireld and loaned him out, there's a talent.

No photo's of the guy in or around Manchester then??

Well I am disapointed! Not even one him going in to the Bridgewater

After watching yesterday's game we need more than cover at centre back! We need someone similar to Nigel De Jong to sit behind Fernandinho and Yaya as the midfield was run by Huddlestone and basically struggled!

Left side of midfield needs sorting too I don't understand why any team would play with one winger!! I can't help but think the team looked a lot weaker than last few years is this a result of FFP? Early days I know but the warning signs are there.

I hope OB1 doesn't see your post ;)

I'm pleased to see that he looks faster than some originally said he was, also looks like a very experienced. Very right footed though.

Why? Huddlestone DID run the midfield especially in the first half, we only took charge when Milner came on. £30m for Fernandinho compared to the £3.5m we sold De Jong for. We've had our pants pulled down on several occasions.

He's not that slow but he is definitely a decent defender. I'd rather sign him than Pepe.

Watch this vid. <a class="postlink" href="http://vimeo.com/63567413" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://vimeo.com/63567413</a>

Looks fucking great in that vid. Cant wait.

Whilst I'm not suggesting he is rapid.

He is alot faster than many on here seem to suggest. His pace has never been an issue.

He is pacier than Lescott thats for sure.

 

[BringBackSwales]

doesn't need to be fast to defend corners

 

[Rammyblues]

Well for me being Argie means like Zab and Aguero he won't shirk from a tackle he will be a hard bastard sign him up.
