It's a real blow for Moyoukolo, he looked decent and has just had the worst luck with injuries in his career!
Apparently he was training the other day and they heard something "pop" and so he's been to France for an operation but probably looking at 6 months out.
I think we can expect to see Mulgrew being used at CB more now.....
Unless NL wants to have a look at some free agents.....
Mohammed Sissoko, released by PSG, linked with Napoli, Cardiff and Olympiakos. 28 year old Mali international, generally more of a DM but I'm pretty sure we could use him at CB. He's certainly big enough at about the same height as Sammy.
Oguchi Onyewu, released by Sporting Lisbon. 31 year old CB, USA international with Belgian nationality as well. He's about 6"3 and if I remember correctly.....built like Bobo!
Evander Sno is still available.......dodgy heart so can't expect him to do too much running but could be used as a CB........no? anybody? poor lad.....I always liked Sno!
Last CB is John Mensah, 30 year old former Ghana international released by Stade Rennais. He has played for Lyon and Sunderland in the past as well. Not the biggest which would suggest he relied on his pace and tackling ability, I've watched a video of him captaining Ghana last year and he is very athletic and can jump well.....he's built like a fucking brick house! He's got a really big upper body and looks REALLY strong!
If we wanted to add another striking option, Valeri Bojinov, 27 year old Bulgarian international has been released by Sporting Lisbon. He used to be on the books at Man City for a while and had various loan spells etc. He's played for a few Italian teams I think. He's quite a good player, might not get loads of goals but would add some experience and a very good technical player and can also play on the wing.
