.....but why has City's central defender situation not been addressed so far?
Bamba and Morrison is the obvious first-choice pairing - with Manga and Connolly as replacements.
Both B and M were injured for a few games last season - and we struggled without them. Connolly wasn't great in the Premier League last time round (and I doubt he has improved :-) ) and can you imagine Manga facing Kane/Aguera/et al ?
Suppose either B or M picked up a serious injury......
As far as I remember Connolly was used as a right back when we were in the premier league last time (and was murdered in that position) and has publicly said he does not like playing there. He's a centre back, and he's not bad at that at all.
Cunningham can play centre back if needed, as can Peltier.
I thought Connolly was loaned out the the season in the prem

Centre back is probably the position I worry about least got 3 strong ones and 2 decent deputies. You can't full your squad in worse case scenario situation
And we are not forgetting our four game losing run in Dec/Jan coincided with the absence of Morrison?Quote:

I’m not sure Cunningham has played at centre half has he? When he signed I read that he’d played briefly as a right back but didn’t do very well there, and has occasionally played on the left side of midfield.
I think Patterson can also do a job at Centre Half
