If VK, Otatrendy, El Mago and The Kun stay relatively fit this season we will run away with the league.

IF ONLY. We've been saying this for years now!

Martin is pretty much done and dusted at the top level. The mangler, whilst I love him and has clear potential, is a bit like a baby elephant that has lost its mother.

Otamendi is a beast and thank fuck we bought him. Some people were head scratching when he walked through the door.

We keep clean sheets when Vinnie plays. But I think it's time. I really do. His injury record is now beyond a concern and is in fact a full on major fucking issue. Our best CB and club captain, but he hardly plays.

A legend, but muscle injuries are a twat to constantly keep recovering from and I think we now need to be looking at replacing him. With Demichelis most likely gone in the summer I think our number 1 priority will be a centre half. Unless they think Denayer will be ready

I still believe that 4 centre backs, Vinnie, Oto, Mangala and Denayer would be good enough for us to win the Premier title. We probably need to invest for CL though. It's very early days for the Oto/Mangala partnership and given a good run of games, who knows how strong that might become. Not sure that any of the other three have Vinnies organisational and leadership nous yet though. Hope Denayers injury is not serious as this is a huge season for his future city career.

It would be, but only if Kompany was fit for the majority of the season.

Kompany is a great defender and personality. A true leader as well. But to be a top player you need to stay fit as well. All his injuries have not been caused by other players. He and the medical team need to sort out the problem unless it can't be done and Kompany therefore will never be a top player.

So following Pellegrini's comments today, we're now looking at a return against Arsenal rather than Swansea as was first expected

Where he'll pick up another knock and be out for another month...Turning into Ledley King

 

[BoundedCascade]

Any news on when he will be back? We need him dearly.

Getting bloody silly always injured, we must think of getting a permanent replacement or we will not reach the next level. Seems drastic I know but this can't keep going on and gets worse each season. I await the abuse from the VK devotees, but please take the blue tinted glasses off for the sake of progression

 

[come-on-barney]

Now unlikely to be ready for Arsenal.
