It's Quiet - a new dawn

This would be awesome. Imagine a back line of Walker, Boateng, Kompany, Alex Sandro.

Would be the best defence in the league.

That would be immense!

Frustrating that Boateng never cut it with us. Same wit Savic, nasty and Mangala. Dont seem to be able to develop young defenders.

That's our system making CBs who aren't world class (Kompany) look useless - lack of fullbacks who can defend and lack of protection from midfield. The same will happen to Stones if we don't fix it.

No surprises that our best side has included Barry and De Jong in the squad, yet nobody would put similar players in the transfer "want" list right now looking ahead to next season.

I am reading few Boateng links now. Thoughts?

Out best team didn't actually include Barry and Dejong. It included just Barry. And if by best team, you mean the one who won our first title, it included just Barry. But our best team was in Pellars first year when we blitz the league. And that team did not include either player.

Dr Hong was a limited player. Simples.

Dr Hong was amazing man. I do agree though, De Jong's main attribute was his application/determination and that only brought us so far. Barry was better and Fernandinho better than both ( for me ).

Doubt he'd come back, but I'd have him.

We've been linked with a fair few intelligent deep lying mids and it even has it's own thread so that's Barry covered. De Jong was a sub to close out games in 11/12, we have Fernando for that. Unfortunately we got rid of Javi Garcia who would be a better fit in this team than either for that role.
