Thread: I'm probably missing something here....

    I'm probably missing something here....

    .....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.

    He got injured, had to have an op and was out for most of the season.

    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?

    Unlike the Championship,We can now only have 25 players in Squad,4 centre back is enough, Cunningham was signed as extra cover and Peltier has also played centre back? Much more important to sign two midfielders and another striker?

    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
