Stopped reading when you said on a par with Kompany. Get real mate watch that man’s performances in the run in when he kept both of them out of the team. Neither of them has had a Leicester moment either. Saying Otta and Stones as good as VK makes me question whether you’re really a city fan.

Two players at the top of the game are just that, world class means they could start in a world 11, Otta and Stones wouldn’t be discussed.It’s a cup competition. Lovern barely played.
What is your definition of World Class? I think two players at the very top of the game are rightly in the conversation.

I wonder if we would be tempted with signing bonnuci or someone like that? Experience and class instead of a younger player so not to block Eric and Taylor coming through?

There is no foreign squad place available unless a current foreign player leaves.I wonder if we would be tempted with signing bonnuci or someone like that? Experience and class instead of a younger player so not to block Eric and Taylor coming through?

De Ligt is at the required level now. How many 'coming years' until our teenagers are at the required level? Also, what do we do in the meantime?
Again, its hard to tell since they haven't played a lot of first team football (something that would have been more likely if they came through...say Ajax). I would expect 1 more year for Harwood Bellis and I expect Garcia is ready now. It seems that Pep agrees since he is our 4th choice CB. Since Garcia is ready now (IMO and in Pep's opinion), your last question is moot.

So you make a claim, then say 'It's hard to tell' how good they are, because Pep didn't deem them good enough to play first team league football, then you 'expect Garcia is ready now'.Again, its hard to tell since they haven't played a lot of first team football (something that would have been more likely if they came through...say Ajax).

We're Manchester City, NOT Ajax in an easier league with less money. You say Garcia is our 4th choice..... When did Pep tell you this?
Does Mangala going free up a space? (Genuine question, I don’t know)There is no foreign squad place available unless a current foreign player leaves.

No mate. He isn't even factored into the equation.

Where did I say Pep didn't deem them good enough to play first team league football? Sometimes at bigger clubs there are bigger players in your way and you have to show patience. Not playing first team football does not equate to Pep not deeming them good enough for first team football.
It may be a surprise to you, but Pep and I don't talk. That doesn't mean Garcia isn't Pep's 4th choice CB.

I think the fact that none of these players are in the first team squad should tell you all you need to know what Pep's thinking is....Where did I say Pep didn't deem them good enough to play first team league football?

Clearly neither are on par with Kompany, Laporte is a fantastic centre half though, potentially the best!
We could potentially have improved at centre half but I'm keen to see if we can promote some youth in that position. Baring in mind we very rarely have to defend apart from on the counter and occasional set pieces. I'm happy with current CH cover and would be delighted if we can add Cancelo which means Fernandinho and Walker can slip inside the eye of your mind...
Might mean we can integrate Rodri easier, I'm sure this is in mind
So Stones & Otamendi would walk into any team in the world? Funny, they could barely get into our team last year..
Talking shite with no counter argument.
No !!
Not every player is deemed "world class" and you need to take your blue tinted specs off.
Within our current crop of say 18 top players I would say there are only 6/7/ or 8 who are worthy of such an acclaim.
Do you consider the following to be truly "world class" ?
Walker,Otimendi,Gundogan,Mahrez,Stones and even Jesus is no-where world class at the moment.Thats not to say this list are crap players just not at the standard you think one and all should be "titled".
A world class team would NOT include any of those I`ve mentioned.If you think they do then please tell us your world class team and I doubt NOT one other person would agree with you that we have 17/18 players in that category.
Messrs,KDB,Sterling,Bernado,David Silva,Sergio without a doubt,possibly Edison and Laporte,but definitely not Sane ... yet ... if ever.
Sorry, a lot of jumbled up nonsense Incoherent nonsense.

Nope, Delph was a starter for one of the best teams in the world and played regularly for the England. Textbook definition of World Class.
And why are we talking about CBs when we are talking about Delph. I know he is World Class, but he isn't that good to play CB. We all know only established players who have been playing exclusively CB since they were 5 can play that position professionally.
I’m not, nor have I ever been talking about Delph. You’re a bit of a weirdo.
10 center backs better than Stones isn´t that hard is it?
Go on then, name them.

Grow up. And for fucks sake make a point.

Nor would Aguero or David Silva. Both World class.
