Zabaleta Out? Right back discussion {merged}

[ell]

young Trippier at Burnley who is the best right back in the Championship would have had some real game time had he still been here?

He was 22 when we sold him. Noway would he have got in ahead of Zaba and Micah and I doubt he would be happy as third string. He made the right move its just a shame we got so little for a player who will be playing in the premier league most of his career

Right, first on the January shopping list - one right back!

Advert: Are you a world class, top notch right sided full back? Are you also a complete mercenary who doesn't mind constantly sitting on the bench when Pablo Zabaleta is fit for all the important games in a world cup year, threatening your place in your national side?
WE NEED YOU
Contact Txichi Berigistain or Manuel Pellegrini at Etihad Stadium, Manchester.

P.S. No EDS need apply

Having a great season too.

Boyata isn't the answer, hopefully it will only be for the Fulham game

I found it necessary to get to page 15 /16 before some decent posts started to appear. Page 1 looks like it's been concocted by a bunch of FIFA 14 years olds with the football intellect of Zoe Ball.

Keep the same formation and put Jimmy Milner in at right back until Pablo's back. He'll do the almost as good as PZ and better than most other right backs in the PL.
Nothing to it.

Perhaps if has to go back home for treatment he can lay on the treatment table, next to Messi, and convince him to come to the Etihad!

Exactly mate

Rodwell could do a job at right back. Not his best position but if not Milner it should be Rodwell.

Have we actually had word on how long he is likely to be out for.

Think Vinny or Martin will play rb at Fulham, with the other joining Joleon in the middle. That way our highline/offside trap won't be disrupted. Seems an obvious solution to me. And a good one.

I was going to say; is it a case of ''no news is good news'', or what?
