or Demichelis?

Exactly, the oldest CB at city...doubt he'd be that bothered with less play time.

Jorge Mendes his agent? Move along,he's rag bound.

Classic Mendes here.

Only this

Apparently we need to squeeze the most out of Roma and Inter for Dzeko and Jovetic to afford KdB and Pogba. Can't see us blowing 30-odd million on a centre-back we don't really need.

Exactly. But if we don't get Pogba perhaps.

We need someone to defend the f******g huge hole in our defence between Vinny & Mangala at crosses.

This. Was it De Rossi or Totti who had the free header at a corner today?

 

[Dipsis_LTU_MC]

we dont need him. denayer is already good enough to play 20 games per season. but if we do get him, it means denayer goes on loan.

De Rossi is just the latest to find acres of space in front of our goal. It pisses me off that this was so obvious last season and has clearly not been worked on.

I'm sorry, but if you're expecting the team to be working on set piece defending in preseason, you might want to give your head a wobble. Set piece defending is about everyone knowing their job and doing it, preseason involves throwing random collections of players together and hoping they sort it out. You can't practice set piece defending until you have everyone back in training and then you won't see it until the correct people are on the pitch. I'm not saying we'll have sorted it, but I'm saying it;s ridiculous to think we'd see any signs of it a week into preseason with a random collection of players on the pitch.
