Said for about 3 seasons now when Kompany goes this is the guy I'd like. Stones is class on the ball & developing in other departments nicely. Otamendi is a monster in the tackle & his passing has improved no end. Van Dijk though is the big physical brute who I hoped Mangala could be for us, except he's far more comfortable on the ball which means he'd actually fit into our style.
Our squads looking a bit silly though (in a good way), we're already rocking a bench of Bravo Mangala Danilo Toure B. Silva Gundogan & Aguero at times - Mangala/Toure being the "weak" players there, if we add say VVD, Sanchez & Goretzka as our 3 signings there's not even room for one of them on the bench. Hard to see that being manageable, but hey, the players all seem happy enough this season & like I say we've already got a crazy strong bench as is.
