Chiellini? I thought about him last year, not now. There are many other options,

I know you can't always trust everything managers say about transfer targets or what they are reported to have said. What I think we are after is a footballing centre-half in the role of Lucio not a more aggressive version of Robert Huth (incidentally he's possibly available from Stoke as he has 12 months left on his contract and so far has turned down a new contract offer from Stoke).

I wasn't suggesting we go for Huth. I was comparing Chiellini to Huth.FantasyIreland said:Marvin said:Mancini has already publically ruled out a move for Chiellini.

i♥city! said:By saying this i'm probably placing myself in the line of fire here LOL but i think Huth could add a little to the team , He would save LOTS of money if we can get him on a free transfer Plus he is also 27 (That's really hard to believe as i have always thought he is in his mid 30's)
Huth left Chelsea. Maybe they made a mistake, but I don't think so. He's a very tough defender who wont be beaten in the air, but he's a little short of what we need. I prefer our existing options. If we are after players I think they will be either young talented players who will improve or fight for a place in the squad (unlike star names like Hazard) or players who are better than what we already have. Huth doesn't fall into either categoryi♥city! said:Marvin said:I wasn't suggesting we go for Huth. I was comparing Chiellini to Huth.
but you'll have to admit that if we can get huth on a free transfer / pay as you play deal he could provide a decent cover for kompany / lescott.

Thiago Silva is also 27 now and would be 28 in September . But As much as i would love to see him at City , it looks like PSG already have this deal wrapped up . We had better turn our attention to Chellini Or Vertonghen.
