Really? He had a good season 2 seasons back, wasn't particularly good last year can't say I've watched him much this year but City don't appear to be solid at the back.
Does Rio Ferdinand's recent form show that to be such a stupid statement? Certainly nowhere near as you claiming City have no defenders as good as a player nearly 35 and run ragged by West Brom. I'd hazard a guess you know even less than the little I do about De Michelis too.
Best by miles, one of the best in the world. Their defence was good last season it was their attack that was the problem. Aguero and Silva just dried up. Please enlighten us as to which United defender is then?
Really don't agree his living of the reputation from City's title winning season a good defender yes, one of the worlds best? Maybe on his day but needs more consistency for that claim.
Only people who don't agree tend to be United fans. Don't see how you think he was poor last season, they had the best defensive record.
