UFFICIALE: Manchester City, due difensori per Eriksson
02.08.2007 13.16 di Christian Seu articolo letto 659 volte
Vedran Corluka (21) e Javier Garrido (22) sono gli ultimi acquisti del Manchester City. Corluka, proveniente dalla Dinamo Zagabria, ha firmato un contratto quinquennale ed è costato circa 10 milioni di euro. Garrido, per il quale la squadra allenata da Eriksson ha sborsato 2 milioni di euro, arriva dalla Real Sociedad e ha siglato un quadriennale.


I think it's over .
Both of them are left backs :weee:

I hope Ćorluka will be first choice

why not ?
he's solid defensively and has all the physical qualities of a cb
Physical qualities and anticipation are two different things.. Does Cannavaro have the physical qualities of a CB?

Chiellini flatters to decieve, against good opposition in the centre he will get earned, against good opposition in the centre alongside Boumsong or Crisctico we will get creamed.

Crisctico: reserve CB, Molinaro: reserve LB, Chiellini: sitting on someone else's bench with a fat fee burning a hole in Secco's pocket, end of story.

so who do you suggest our starting CB and LB to be?

Chiellini is a better LB than CB right now, but he has better potential in the center. Whether we pick up a CB or an LB, he will and should be starting.

My thoughts exactly :).

Wouldn't an Andrade - Heinze partnership be a bit short, though? Meira's or Chiellini's size would come in next to Jorge.
Andrade is big and as Ahmed pointed out, Heinze is also good in the air. Chiellini could still add that physical presence as leftback though.

Heinze is still not the best CB solution, wt we need is a proved CB like Miera
How is Meira a more proven CB than Heinze?

I rate Heinze as a better player anyhow.
