# Manchester City: Fans wince at Caglar Soyuncu transfer rumours

**After dropping more points away to Newcastle United at the weekend, conceding[two stunning equalisers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f2isGjUr9k) in each half, Manchester City supporters are now more than ever crying out for a centre-back addition which can confidently sure up their back line ahead of an uphill title challenge.**

League leaders Liverpool took a monumental 11 point lead after [edging past Brighton at Anfield](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50526608), with both of their goals coming from star defender Virgil Van Dijk, forcing City supporters to wish they had the same defensive strength.

After club legend Vincent Kompany [left for Anderlecht](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/may/19/vincent-kompany-manchester-city-leaves-fa-cup) in the summer, and with Aymeric Laporte [not returning until after the New Year](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7746169/Aymeric-Laporte-hands-Manchester-City-huge-boost-sets-return-date-knee-injury.html), supporters have been crying out for an addition to their weak backline – particularly at centre-half.

Fernandinho and John Stones have been chosen as the two anchors at the heart of City’s defence during their last few games, with the Sky Blues failing to keep a clean sheet [since late October.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKbS0iC6AYs&feature=onebox)

However, given names like Kalidou Koulibaly[occasionally popping up](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-transfers-koulibaly-dias-17088096), supporters were unimpressed after being linked with in-form Leicester City defender Caglar Soyuncu, as per [the Times via City Xtra](https://twitter.com/city_xtra/status/1201101816592785410?s=21).

Here’s what they had to say on Twitter.

> Exactly my thought tbh. We better go for koulibaly
