John Stones

[mancityscot]

I think Mangala is much better than what he is showing but I do wonder whether he needs to protected more with maybe a more defensive system and less of a high line to show it.

I also think if Guardiola did come in I don't think Magala is good enough on the ball to play his style of football.

In regards to our academy lads, nobody knows yet how good they will turn out, even with Denayer we don't know how good he will be for City yet.

Stones for me has proven in the last 12/18 months that he is on his way to becoming the best English ball-playing defender since Ferdinand, he isn't perfect but you can see he is a player if top quality whom for me would get into any side in England.

the boy struggles to pass and control a ball. that stuff has nothing to with defensive ability, its basic footballing skills

Coleman is too old and not English.

hes only just turned 27 ? and he's one of the best right backs in the league

I'd rather put our trust in Maffeo than spend money on Coleman.

Maybe Pep will persuade Alaba to come with him.

The 3 upcoming matches against Everton will enable us to get a good close look at their players, especially the 3 we are possibly interested in. BB&S.

Maybe Pep will persuade Alaba to come with him.

Out of every amazing player Bayern have, Alaba would be the one I would love to see here most. Class player both at LB and CB.

We could buy Franco Baresi in his prime and he would look fucking shit.

We don't need to buy any more CBs, we need a manager with half a clue how to inspire collective work rate and set up a solid midfield.

Demi will not be here, Mangala has not convinced to say the least, Kompany is injury prone and coming towards the twilight of his career.

That leaves Otto and possibly a returning Denayer.

We definitely do need to look at the CB position.

Hope not. Will rather have Bernat.

He is not an expansive passer of the ball. I'd rather have Bernat at leftback.
