January defenders

Thought he has played very well the last 3 matches after a shaky start to his City career. Personally, Cancelo has shown he could be a good player for City whereas Angelino has fallen short apart from an occasional good cross.
Did you not see the palace or Utd games then?
 
Why let him go now when our lbs are injury prone and we only just bought him? That’s the weird bit. People saying others need time I.e Cancelo why is that not true of this lad? Not a move to bring someone in either so seems pointless
 
I love Stones, I thought he'd be our future captain and I hate to hear people call him shite. However, he's not doing much to help us defend him.
It's obvious we've got huge problems with our defense. Laporte coming back isn't going to completely resolve these issues; theres much more to it than just him being out.
The taking away of our most reliable defender was only the trigger to our defensive collapse, buying a CB that can play left and right, possibly Doyet Upamecano who is good on the left and being right footed probably good on the right? would give us safety on the left and raise the bar on the right, because the three who backed up Stones this season did not do that,Our defense on the whole was poor because of our back ups, at goalie you only want one and it should be the best you can afford we have that, all other positions you should have two, RB we have two good players RCB we have a decent player LCB we have a good player LB we have ordinary, CDM we have a good player and this player playing as a single pivot probably had as much to do with our season as any one else
 


Our scouting departement is doing bits. All targets are great apart from Soyuncu, he's a trap. Have a feeling he'd not be a upgrade on Otamendi in our system, he's a proper system player. Look how Leicester have defended and played with Ndidi out, absolute shambles
 


Skriniar/Koulibaly and a young prospect like Upamecano would be dream signings. The following tweet mentions that Otamendi will most definitely leave in the summer, and Stones if they get an appropriate bid
 
So it looks like we’re trying to get a right footed starter and a left footed backup for Laporte. Dinho/Garcia to fill in when needed. Another left footed CB linked is Gabriel Magalhaes from Lille

A leftie is the biggest issue, otherwise our defence and build up play both suffer if Laporte is ever out again. With the injury he had, he's more susceptible to it happening again. It also gives us the option for 3 at the back with Laporte in the middle, not stuck out on the left.
