Vital 1st Team Regular
Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but Tobias Figuerado, has agreed to stay permanently. Says it was easiest decision EVER.
Just need 10 others as good as him now.
Fox is.
A good question is, at this stage, what will AK do for next season? Keep Figi and Foxy as the 1st choice central pairing? or change it? pre season will give him time to try options yes, but it seems those two has forged a good understanding and it wouldnt be wise to disrupt ... aslong as we dont sign Kompany and Chiellini...at the same time this will create some unease in players like mancienne ... at his age staying on the bench is not nice, so I wouldnt be surprised if he decides to leave...probably it will be good for both parties..
Was waiting for that post CP - you were quicker off the mark than me though... busy day yesterday, plus gave blood & then went for a few pints.... always fun & saves money!
Mancienne is a very good utility player - can fill at CH & both full back positions... personally, with his pace & inability to head it - I think he'd make a better sweeper.
With Worrall & Dawson - you have 4 good CH's, mixing experience & youth, with Manc as back up.
That assumes we don't sell Worrall, because at £12m - I still think would be tough to turn down!

Will Mancienne be willing to remain as back up but? he is not as if he is 35 years or something, he will want to play and I think he will find some other team in our division that can give him that ... as things stand and with our shortfalls (especially on the flanks-defense), he is not given a look in...can you imagine how harder it would be for him to get a game if we sign a defender or two to play on the sides ?!... he can see this, he knows our weaknesses (playing Ozzy on the left and leaving seasoned defenders on the bench is a witness of this)...if he is not trusted now, how he is going to be trusted when we sign more players ?Mancienne is a very good utility player - can fill at CH & both full back positions... personally, with his pace & inability to head it - I think he'd make a better sweeper.
