Unlikely, but perhaps we might shift out Otamendi for decent money, we should easily be able to get our money back on him in todays market and replace him with Mangala which would allow us to stick that cash into securing Sanchez and the fullbacks we desperately need? If all these rumours were true about Otamendi going and us not having the money to get all our targets since Alves shat on us, it could be an option.
I wouldn't be against it. Still convinced there's an excellent defender in Mangala, He and MDM was our best partnership a few seasons ago when Kompany was out for the most part of the season and he hardly got a chance to play with Vinnie, and we all saw how much better everyone else looked with him. Bit of an out there thought and unlikely to happen but it would be a potential solution to these rumoured issues...
