Silva when he still had hair? It does have the old badge.

Anyone else think Stones could be transformed to a DM, and we buy Maguire? Stones is brilliant on the ball, good passer, he`s intelligent, has decent pace and is a great tackler. His only shortcoming IMO, is his marking and concentration at times, and I don`t think that would be exposed to an equal extent, as if he was playing CB

Given time I personally think this would work and buying Maguire would also help us when Komps finally hangs up his boots :(. The problem is we have 3 more years of Pep, so buying someone who is used to playing the required role should give us more opportunities to win titles. That said we didn't do too bad last season considering Toure hardly made it to the bench, never mind played 90 mins.

Obviously they'd never let him go but I'd love to see Kante in this city side

Yes. I think that's a pretty good call.

We've just paid £57m for Laporte who's basically a better Maguire. No way will we pay a club record fee for him now.

I mentioned Stones on the Jorginho thread.
I think he could be the man.

CBs: Maguire, Laporte, Otamendi and Kompany
DMs: Fernandinho, Stones, Gundogan
Looks good to me

to buy a cb for 70 million just to move a cb to dm does not make any sense. rather stop pissing about and buy proper dm
