Strikers???? I'm on about the other gobshite who looks like hes coming in. Absolutely no need to drop Vinny or Nasty, unless he plans on playing 3 at the back.
Can Pepe play up front can he???
Right so we only need two players for two positions then? They can play every game. What did Kolo and Lescott have 20 plus appearances each last year.
Kolo has left. We don't have a replacement.
City fans continue to write down our 1st choice starting eleven and think that it's a match for anyone. Fair enough, but take Kompany, Yaya and Aguero out of the line up and how wonderful do we look then? Pepe can play alongside Kompany, he can play alongside Nastasic allowing Kompany to be rested, and he can cover for any injury/suspension that Kompany/Nastasic may pick up. Nastasic is a good young player, but he isn't the finished article yet, and he will benefit from seeing a top quality centre-back like Pepe at close quarters. Plenty of games to go around during the course of a long hard season.
