I was just in the Joe Hart thread looking for news about Stones but couldn't find any.

You`ll be lucky. ;)

So what is NOT happening :)

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

It was more an example fella out of

Stones
Kompany
Otamendi
Mangala
Denyar
Tosin

Which 2/3 are likely to get most game time taking into consideration the way pep plays and history of injuries, if you had to sell or loan out 2 who would it be?

I'd loan tosin out; if we sign stones then either denayer or Mangala have to go; not a choice I'm envious of whatsoever

Bravo or ter Stegen would both be great candidates.

And one of them is going to be looking for a new club this summer. So it's worked out perfectly really.

So basically you're telling me where to post then doing the opposite?

It's in the navas thread, the navas stuff is in off topic somewhere, the one about others sports I think

I'd loan out tosin and sell Denyar but if kompany breaks down again what do you do? If we are playing 3 at the back a bit I would put mangala in before otamendi and stones is a highly priced gamble. We don't have 2 nailed on defenders which is a bit odd. In fact apart from Sergio and dinho it's all very interesting to see what pep does

Called me old fashioned, but i like a keeper who can save shots and stop goals and Joe's not bad in that department.
And yes, i know what Pep wants before someone else points it out. I'm sure Joe will be working hard on his footwork.
Don't forget the team will be set up to accept his passes. Not every pass (In fact few) that Neuer makes is a 25yd +.

Apologies for this, i hadn't realised this was the Stones thread.
Who'dve guessed ?

Most of his passes start from either full back who are glued to the bye line only a matter of yards from the goalie.

You raise an interesting point hilts; if pep is going to play 3 at the back then for me we need 5 centre backs; unless ferna or sagna are comfortable deputising there if Kompany gets himself injured again

The other factor we need to bear in mind is how long will Kompany be at the club for? If he has another injury prone season pep may want to let him go; and if we've sold denayer we'd be down to 3 centre backs unless tosin would be ready
