Its hard to talk about what we have missed out on player wise since the takeover when it comes to defenders. Sure when we first signed Kompany we got a CDM cheap bargin that turned out to be a world beater. But the people we have tried to partner him with over the years has been mixed. Boyata, Nedum, Richards, Boatang, Savic, Garcia, Toure, Lescott, Demachelis, Ottamendi, Mangala and hopefully the best of the lot Stones. One player who was on my radar for years and my pals who I stand with in the South stand will back me up on this is Hummels. There was a time we could have got this guy on the cheap but obviously did not. Crazy in my opinion as he has always been class. Now obviously that ship has sailed and he is around 28-29 so not what we are looking for now but I honestly wonder why through all those years of recruiting the 12 players I mentioned above why he was not one of them.

And Nastasic. I think part of the problem is that Roberto, Manuel & Pep have different requirements of centre backs.

I am sure that they do/did but they all seemed pretty damn happy with Kompany. Granted he is world class, IMHO so is Hummels but at no point since Hughes to Pep can I remember us having an interest even though we could have until quite recently signed him easily. Which makes me think why?

The RagDipperArseHaringeyMeedya will all say it's a good signing 'cos they want us to go belly up! I'm surprised they haven't suggested we resign Bernardo or The Gorgeous Greek, and 'tis a pity St. Joseph of Barton is banned or he would add some steel to the midfield!

I think it's more to do with the fact that he's a good old British player who they know well. Our football media generally have a huge bias towards British players and managers.

Hummels imo, would guarantee us missing the title.

We have only had 3 decent cbs imo. Kompany, Lescott & Demichelis for half a season. Lescott only suited Mancini's style, then Mancini decided to change his style (end of Mancini).

The rest of the time the cbs have been average to shit. Or moreover, Otta/Stones average, Kolo/ Mangala occasionally average, the rest, to a man, complete & utter fucking dogshit and nowhere near even close to the level required.

I think it's down to all 3 managers having the same weakness in different ways, ie: they just aren't great at picking central defenders.
 
fuck me.
you go away for a few days and return to 400 pages about jonny evans.

not much point in commenting, no doubt it's all already been said and re-said,
but i'll take a wild guess this news hasn't gone down too well will some, haha.
