I'd say this is true as far back as Hull away.
Extremely valuable member of the squad. I will be very disappointed if he isn't back next year. Obviously was never intended to be the first-choice CB in that slot, but really brings a lot to us. I am glad to see that a lot of the fanbase seems to be coming around as to this opinion.
Obviously I want to see us pick up Mangala (or Lovren, who I think would be great in that spot.) But I do hope MDM is first deputy next year.
Fair play to City Watch on twatter for being a very vocal defender of MDM when things were at their worst here.

Another MotM performance. The man was a sole figure that played to his limits yesterday with Silva a clear second. MDM made not a single mistake, in poor contrast to Kompany.

Our offside trap has been exceptional since Demichelis has had a prolonged run in the side, he really helps organise the defence well. He plays like a leader.
This is so true, but unfortunately we can not build a team round him in defence can we?eversince 76 said:Another MotM performance. The man was a sole figure that played to his limits yesterday with Silva a clear second. MDM made not a single mistake, in poor contrast to Kompany.
I think we still need another central defender.

Genuine comment. It's good to see many of his erstwhile critics holding their hands up and giving praise.
Fair play, guys.

Thought he played well again last night, and while we'll definitely need to invest in a long-term partner for Kompany in the summer, it would be rash to sell Demichelis. He's come to terms with playing in England and has been consistently solid of late. If we have Kompany/Nastasic/Rekik/Mangala(maybe) next season, we'll need someone with more experience to step in when our captain is out.
i see no reason to get rid of him, he's better than a few we've got and with the departure of Lescott, Richards and Nastasic struggling to be ever fit or in form, he would be handy to have in the squad. but we need to aim high in defence this summer.
