So they have Mangala, Kompany, Otamendi, Stones for CB and we have Cahill and JT. :smh:

So they have a disappointment, a gimp, a disappointment and and overrated Englishman for CBs?

The converse side of the coin is that if we get that Koulibaly geezer we will have the best bunch of CBs in the league when Zouma's fit - JT, Zouma, KK, and Cahill (who is still not bad for a backup).

It feels as though the club are trolling us...

I dont know how you can think we can use JT and Cahill and progress. Imagine like now with Happy injured and maybe JT who will we use?

JT now even on a good day I wouldn't lose sleep about losing. And even tho he LOOKS better than the emaciated copy of himself last season I've got no time for. IF we land KK then yes we will have 2 amazing CBs but Id hate for either to get a knock.

I'd take Mangala over either JT or Cahill.

City spending so far £149M This ladies and gents is called 'getting it done'

I don't think we can use Cahill and JT together, too slow. But JT and Zouma were good last season, he is still a good defender with a bit of speed next to him.

 

Personally I would sell Cahill because we'd get some good money for him. But that's never gonna happen, so I won't dwell on it.

If you're a biased af Chelsea, then yes, that's the way look at it. It also means that you are not to be taken seriously when talking football.

the whole football world was mocking City's defenders last season because they look awful when Kompany's not there; none of Otamendi or Mangala had any clue what they were doing and now I should sit here and congratulate them for wasting their money on a defender who was poor last season? What is the insistence on pissing away Roman's money needlessly? It's because you want to see quick results. Sit the fuck down and be patient. The same thing will happen if we banish JT from the team as what happened when Kompany got injured: Nobody had a clue what to do. You must have banished the memory of Cahill-Zouma from your memory because if you didn't you'd recall that the whole back line, including Azpilicueta, didn't have a fucking clue what they were doing. You need a leader, and JT's all we got.

Last time I checked Koulibaly is still a Napoli player isn't he? And how do you know Zouma can get back to his best after such a severe injury? I just stated the truth which is right now we ONLY have JT and Cahill for the CB and right, Hector as well if you think he should be counted one, compare to Citeh's four maybe not world class but at least decent CBs. Like many has mentioned, I would take the shittest one Mangala over JT and Cahill without a blink.

A lot of money, but he'll improve their squad. City have a top class team, they could do worse than buying a huge English talent!

I can't wait till we go full press against Guardiola's City and ruin them.

Then what are you saying? Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I want Koulibaly, I do, but banishing JT will be a big mistake, he is not the problem.

You do realize we still have Ivanovic-Cahill-Terry in the back 4, right? That's without mentioning the half-functional midfield.

I just stated the obvious and dunno why you have such a reaction. What I tried to say is we need to sign sign sign, if we want to be competent, simple as. Banishing JT? Oh come on everyone knows he's the captain leader legend and I love him to bits, but let's be honest he is not good enough on the pitch.

[communicate 2,703]

Not suprised at all with the signing. Guardiola want cb who can really pass and stones is one of them

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

50 million for a CB that isn't even exceptional. The market is going crazy. 

[Pizy 18,368]

This is true and totally depressing. Manchester fucking City have eclipsed us as a club. We simply cannot compete with either them or United for the upper echelon, super expensive players. That in itself wouldn't be a huge deal as long as we were at least bringing in players from that next level down, but we're doing fuck all!

City finished in the top 4 and already had a very good squad and have now signed 7 players for ~£150m. United finished far above us and have spent around the same.

Silence at Chelsea...
