Kompany

Our defence needs sorting out before the season starts. We conceded 50 goals in the league whereas the top 3 teams all conceded in the 20's. We must have a top defence to start competing with the top teams.

Absolutely right ...... and the reason why i posted about such a matter on this thread!
 
He's a CB by trade and I think he'll end up there.

Hughes bought him to play DM as we really didn't have anyone at the time who was good enough (Didi too old, Gelson not good enough) and although he played really well, as the season went on, certain elements of his game didn't look quite good enough (e.g. passing) for him to stay there for good.

We've since signed De Jong and it's likely another DM will come in during the summer so I see him going back to his natural position at CB sooner rather than later.
 
We won't get Lescott imo because I don't think we will go in for him. Kompany should drop back with Ned and the Zab can take his place with De Jong.
 
Got to say I'm not convinced by Vinnie.

He's a big lad but never really seems commanding to me. Hopefully we see a bit more off him next year. Needs to work on his distribution too.
 
I think Kompany is over rated by some people on the board. People calling for him to be captain fuck no let him progress. Yes he started well but has faded of late. He should be a lot better in the air than he is. At times his concetration goes looses his marker I dont think he knows his role in the team. Yes he is played in midfield to add a bit of height to the team and untill we sign a few more 6 foot plus players in centre midfield then that is were I see him playing next season. As for playing centre back I think he would be a good sweeper if we played 3 at the back as he is decent on the ball and bring the ball forward but in a back 4 I would be more worried to have him in back 4 ahead of Dunne or Ned.

I cant see us signing a world class centre back we should look and try to get Agger off Liverpool or Hangerland but I cant see those wanting to play for City as there teams are in Europe. I think Dunney will have a big point to prove next season and will come good with a settled defence the defence will get better and better. Call me daft if you want I can see Bridge , Dunne , Ned and Richards starting in our defence next season. Zab I think will be pushing for a place in the midfield. It is a battle for places next season and it is who wants it the most will get into the team.
 
does anybody else think that Onuoha would make a decent left back, he certainly wont have any nippy right wingers beating him for pace??
