LDN Blue 7,903 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 If Richards is available, we should make a move. Perfect homegrown squad signing. To make him endure the same treatment he's got at City?Richards needs to go to a mid-PL club where he's going to play a lot more and show that he's actually a pretty neat defender.

OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 They spent 32M on a CB who isn't even much better than Nastasic in my eyes. Nastasic have struggled with injuries the last year and a bit but hes a very talented player and hes younger than Mangala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 No thanks, injury prone as hell. We recently got rid of most if not all of them, please not him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I never got the hype around him to be honest. Injury prone and an error machine at times. Not EPL top4 quality IMHO, City should have kept Savic, he is way better than Nastazic.Apparently Juventus are closing in on his signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Wrong profile for us. He's foreign and young, something we have in Kalas, Omeruo, Zouma and Christensen (feel like I'm missing someone).We need someone who's a little bit older because at the moment our defenders are either 28+ or under 21. Ideally you'd find someone homegrown and about 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 He would be an excellent signing if, like TOPTB said, we didn't already have 4 very similar players. We already have one or two too many young CBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally you'd find someone homegrown and about 25. There aren't many available, though, are there? I thought that Liverpool signing Lovern was again a lack of ambition in their signings, but when you think about it, there aren't many top home grown CBs at their peak. Jaagielka? Very similar to Cahill. Lesscot I never found very convincing either. Am I missing an obvious one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Caulker could've been an interesting buy before Harry came along.He'll be an interesting buy after QPR get relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Caulker could've been an interesting buy before Harry came along.Always been a fan of Dawson, but he's past his prime now. Actually wanted him instead of Cahill. Shows how much I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I never got the hype around him to be honest. Injury prone and an error machine at times. Not EPL top4 quality IMHO, City should have kept Savic, he is way better than Nastazic.Apparently Juventus are closing in on his signing.I do agree that he isn't that good but I actually forgot that he's only 21 at the moment! He has so much maturity and experience for his age. I generally tend to be very forgiving to CBs under 23 so it may be that (for a reason) , but I think he has done very well considering his age and the difficulty of the Premier League. Gotta agree though that Savić looks as a player with more potential though.But not a player we should be looking to bring unless we could get him for something cheap since we could resell him later and make some nice profit.
