You didn't answer my question, which two of our centre backs are good enough for a top 4 team ? and not a left sided CB amongst the four you mentioned.

Sanchez is good enough, Toby with good form is, Tanganga is showing potential that he can be good enough. Foyth with game time could be good enough.

About left footed CB - even Mourinho won't give a fuck about that.

You can have a discussion without resorting to your last line.

My point is that you can have players that aren’t top quality and have a good team.

A top quality defensive mid and better full backs and our centre backs are fine.

See, it is possible to have opposing views without making out the other person is clueless.
That's the problem, we don't have a good team with them four in it, have you not been watching us this season ?

Sanchez is not good enough at the moment, like i have already said, name me a top team he would get into ? Toby has lost his invincibility and will be another year older next season, agree on Tangs and Foyth but they wont be enough.

You’re really tedious, stop making out people are stupid or haven’t been watching because they disagree with you.

I have seen our full backs be woeful and play with no defensive mid. Hence I want this 3 positions filled.

I know you disagree but Utd won titles with the likes of Evans, Wes Brown and other centre banks who weren’t world class.

This doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want a world class centre back but that position isn’t a priority IMO.

City want to sell Stones and Otamendi and their current started is nominal midfielder - even there he could when we are just looking for defensive capabilities not passing etc.
He's better than Lindelof, he would be also the best defender in Arsenal team.

The top team where he wouldn't get into is only Liverpool

He's not even a regular in our team ! Arse and Utd are not in the top 4, City have Laporte, Stones, Leicester have Evans and Soyuncu, Chelsea have Rudiger, Zouma and Tomori.

All of them are. Look around the PL with the exception of Van Dijk Liverpool’s other CBS are very average, as are Chelsea’s, Utd’s, City’s

Ohh, he's not even regular in our team? This season in PL only Aurier and Toby played more than him and in whole competitions only Toby. Last season he played more than Jan and the season before he played more than Toby.

Minutes combined since he joined our club - consider the fact that we played 3ATB too.

Why are you going back 3 seasons ? when i said he wasn't a regular in our team i'm talking about this season, 21 starts out of 29 PL games (72%) hardly a regular is it !

Whether you rate him or not, 72% of starts easily makes him a regular. Maybe not a guaranteed starter but certainly a regular.

There are only 2 players in the entire squad with more starts this season (Aurier and Toby) so by your standards we only have 2 regulars at the club...

I didn't say what my standards are ! anyway i would put Toby as the only regular this season.

I only showed you that he is our regular. And was season before. And 2 season ago too.

I am looking for the N’Dombele thread? Has it been merged with this one?

Well we are not top 4 this season are we ? so by your reckoning Maurice Norman is good enough for a top 4 team because we done the double with him in the team in 1960/1961.
This season isn’t over. The players you listed were good enough last year. Good enough to get up CL final too. Dont try so hard to hate them.

By your logic half the leagues centrebacks are good enough for top 4 because at some point half the league have been top 4. Or maybe the top 4 only refer to the teams in those spots at the end of the season.
