    cups were never our objective this year...tbh in any other season we would have qualified with 10 points...first time in the CL in probably the hardest group and got done by some shocking refereeing decisions (and dont get me started about the refs in the FA cup)...no complaints here..far from being disappointed were more than pleased of the account we gave of ourselves under the circumstances

    You would rather have Micah Richards than Alves or Kompany than Gerard Pique or Puyol?

    Mental.

    In the years to come Micah Richards will be the best RB in Europe if not the world. VK is pretty much there already. In the way City are set up and with the experience they have playing in our formation both of them are pretty much irreplaceable

    You are massively overating Richards. Good player but he will never be the best in his position in the world.

    He is nowhere bear Dani Alves, Maicon or Lahm.

    if he continues to improve at the rate he has done under mancini i really dont know anyone i would rather have. The dogs in the street know he should be playing for england, when he does the experience he will gain will be priceless. Dont forget the lad is only 23 also.

    I dont think Richards has the skill to be the best right-back, hes a bit too clumsy although does well defensively and uses his pace and power well.

    I prefer Kyle Walker who is a bit more like Ashley Cole.

    Richards is a good player but seriously, seriously overating him. You would rather have him rather than Lahm, Dani Alves, Maicon, Sergio Ramos....

    Not a chance man.

    I like Richards but there is a level he cannot reach due to him not having the basic technique of the above players.

    Kyle Walker is another exceptional player and is on a level of both Richards and Glen Johnstone.

    Maybe just because of Puyol's age now.

    However I'm not even going out on a limb here when I say Vincent Kompany will never, ever achieve anything like Carles Puyol has in his career.

    I think they would swap Puyol for Kompany but only because Puyol maybe just has 2 years left as he gets injured a lot now and is losing his pace and once he does he'll probably be finished.

    But as of now Puyol is still better than Kompany and id have him in my team for a 1 off game.

    Puyol is a proven big game player. I don't think I've ever seen Puyol have a bad game, when it really counts. Champions League finals, World Cup Finals, League deciders....

    Puyol is their and plays at his best.

    Kompany isn't quite at that level, even if he is the best defender in the Premiership with the absence of Nemanja Vidic.
