That is 2 thing you got wrong Stones is not shite, the CB we buy will have to be able to play LCB and RCB comfortably, and the second thing is we do not need to go for massively over hyped and over priced foreign CB`s that really would say our scouting is shitDid you just say a back up to John stones?? He is the reason we need to blow our ‘budget’ on a new CB cause he’s shite
The young RB is the one we took on tour but he is a couple of years away , just in time for Walker perhaps, as for the LB situation it is a night mare none can defend Angelino is not good enough for the EPL, Mendy can cross but gets in the way of a Winger, Zinchenko is the best defender and does play the best when we play with a winger, what is right and what is wrong i can not say? but i would get rid of Angelinho his only use is CT for the CL and i would buy a cheap English player on cheap wages who is as good or better at defending and faster than what we have, Henry, or even Da SilvaSo do you think its even worse than Salfordbluetrue says ? Or do you think he is wrong about our left backs and that they are good enough ? Also who is the good youth player you are referring to ? Having good youth players does not say much of how we have spent our money or not spent it ? I personally like both our youth CB think Stones is fine and I am confident Laporte will come back fine I also think that Mendy is showing promise I thought his injures had broke him I like both Zinchenko and Angelino. they are worth more than we paid for them I would personally probably sell Zinchenko I initially thought he was better than Angelino he is a better footballer but he just does not seem to get forward and cross the ball plus Angelino is classed as home grown. Angelino will improve not saying he is amazing but doubt there are many very good left back let alone second choice left backs
I don’t dislike John stones but he’s been here 4 seasons and like others had said he’s only had 6 good months in 3 1/2 years. He makes the same mistakes now as he did back in 2016, we need another CB badly. Surely you can be confident with Stones going forwards.That is 2 thing you got wrong Stones is not shite, the CB we buy will have to be able to play LCB and RCB comfortably, and the second thing is we do not need to go for massively over hyped and over priced foreign CB`s that really would say our scouting is shit
Been saying this for a while but we definitely need someone who's quick with recovery pace. Would spare Ederson his annual red card as wellI think there something about the way we play which makes CB a really difficult role. I'm not talking about the need to pass well, but the defending. With our high line and possession based style, 9 out of ten interventions by our CB will be to prevent or defend against quick counters with insufficient protection. Those are stakes moments in a match.
First of all, that's a big ask of players. Both Laporte and Company sometimes messed up these situations last year's, and they were our best performers.
Secondly, they're hard to scout. Very few teams play like us. You can take CBs who look great at other clubs, but expose them in a high line, back pedalling against Zaha, Traore, Mané etc and many will struggle.
Top supporter you are - patheticMy sky and bt expires next week. Neither being renewed. Guess I will just be another who refuses to pay over the odds. Also as long as Gundogan is a starter for us I will not pay, subscribe or watch, even if it's free.
You’re love for Stones is odd but calling Cancelo outstanding? Wow. Seriously based on what that he has produced in a city shirt?Ha Ha Walker is 28 now and likely to deteriorate Cancelo is outstanding and we have a good youth player coming through Laporte is injured and we hope but do not know how he will come back, and Garcia is a midget CB with good footballing skills that will never make it to the top playing as a CB, As for your signings City are not going to blow their entire budget on a back up to Stones and laporte
