Pellegrini: 2 more signings wanted.

nail on head. zabba, sagna or even mangala could all play left back if need be.

ottamendi is looking likely as they have left him out of friendly and champs league plans.

Where does Otamendi fit in?

Cover for VK/EM? One's our captain, the other a huge outlay for what we've seen as big potential, slow start but looks to be settling in nicely. I can't see either being replaced.

If he's back up, does he replace Demechelis - our best defender last year, or Denayer our youth product promoted to the first team?

I don't see where any new defender fits in, in this transfer window.

We'd have insane coverage on the back 4.

Zabba, Sagna, Otamendi - RB

Vinny, Otamendi, Mangala, Denayer, Sagna - CB

Kolarov, Clichy, Mangala, Zabaleta - LB.

I think this is more like the De Gea situation - "If you want to leave then we won't play you".

Otamendi wouldn't be Champions League tied if he played in the qualifiers.

 

[Salfordian Blue]

Kolarov, Clichy, Mangala, Zabaleta - LB.

Mangala gets way too much stick... but still. I wouldn't want him covering at left back.

In an emergency if the other 3 were hit by lightning. He's played there before.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

we dont need a CB imo

A lightning strike? Zabaleta would shrug it off.

Pellegrini said today he wants 2 more signings.

But who could they be?

Well we can say KDB but who is the other one? Otamendi, Alex Sandro? Pedro?.

Pogba?

 

[johnmc]

Pogba and KDB

Obviously.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

KdB and Sandro hopefully.
