Nicolas Otamendi

[7evens]

As things stand, I am OK with Laporte / stones ( hope he picks up) , Otamendi and Garcia with fernandinho providing cover

A quality CB would be ideal though

We already have three.

Yes, a quality CB would be needed if Otamendi left, which looked a good possibility

 

[razman]

Can't see him leaving

Can't see him leaving

I can to be honest mate. Pep would pick stones over him imo and Laporte is a guaranteed starter

No chance we'll let him leave now unless we've got a top class replacement lined up. I think we'll keep him for one more year and buy a foreign CB next summer when we have the space after Bravo and Silva have left.

Would be a good time to sell him if we can get a top class replacement in.

He is 31, so we'd be replacing another 30+ year old player who we would have to replace in the near future anyway.

 

[cibaman]

If he really wants to go then we should let him.

 

[the_tevez_wiggle]

If he wants to leave I would like Jonathan tah or konate to replace him.

Stones, laporte, konate/tah (all young, all bags of potential, all class on the ball, all could play for another 10-15 years)

E. Garcia, Bellis Harwood (2 fantastic prospects, unbelievable kids to have as emergency 4th cb backup, both could be captains in the future)

Valencia might not be able to afford him.
They want(Ed) maxi gomez but are struggling to afford him
