Lol, where did I say he's two of the best center backs in the world? You better ask Pique, he picked his team, I didn't.

That pretty much says to me that he's oveerated.He's so overrated that Gerard Pique picked him in his best world eleven but hey that's your opinion.

for what do you need another defender?

Won't be any better for us
Because with Mangala injured we only have Demi and Otty. Demi is finished at this level and one more injury leaves us screwed.for what do you need another defender?
If people think he's one of the worlds best, he's not.How'd you work that out?

Surely we'll be in the market for another CB?
Demichelis is finished. Should have bought Alderweild.

It could also be a very good CB acknowledging the talent of another.
Pique is, IMO, a massive bellend, but he is part of a fantastic Barcelona defence for nearly a decade and has been brought up in the style Guardiola plays from childhood.
If he rates Stones that highly then it's at best someone who knows a lot about being a CB at the highest levelidentifying him as world class.
At worst its at least a sign that he is a player who fits the Barcelona/Guardiola mould of centre back to a tee.
Honestly I've been quite against the Stones hype, didn't really care if he went to Chelsea in he summer and thought £40m being rejected was hilarious.
But the more I see him this season the more he's winning me over. Would be pissed if he went to the rags.

Just says to me that Pique is one of more than a few that are overrating him by a fair bit. Doesnt mean he isn't a bad player, or has the potential to be very good. But he's not in one of the best 50 centre halves right now let alone 1 or 2.

Go on, this should be fun. Name 50 better then.

before buying any CB we should recall Denayer instead.

wont happen.before buying any CB we should recall Denayer instead.
What would be the point? If you think he's one of the best couple, me giving you 50 names isn't going to change your opinion. Quite frankly, I couldnt be bothered.Go on, this should be fun. Name 50 better then.
No fucking way we should be even thinking about buying a central defender before giving Denayer decent amount of games. Notwithstanding, Denayer is head and shoulders above Stones.
Well him Kompany and stones and Otemendi as fourth choice is what we need Mangala ain't up to it and Demichellis is off
Notwithstanding, Denayer is head and shoulders above Stones.
Ha, what are you basing that on?!
Clearly, City love.
Certainly not. Should watch highlights of Gala vs Atletico. Denayer is more skillful, can play in different positions, there is no question that he is the better crosser of the ball. Number of times last season our defending was shambolic against any half-decent inswinging cross, Denayer had to face the same situation again and again at Celtic and was voted Young Payer of the Year and he is not afraid to put his body on the line in difficult situations.
