If someone comes in for Otamendi, we'll sign a new defender.
I’d say the chances of that happening are slim sadly.
They would reject him, counterfeit CB.We should be touting that fucker on ebay

Shouldn't this thread be titled "The Club..." rather than simply Pep?

I don't think you buy players to replace injured players.
The injury to Laporte exposes the poor quality of the cover. Last season, Kompany was the cover. Now it is an aging Otamendi or Fernandinho. I think City see Garcia and Harwood-Bellis as cover next season, and possibly first team players so I don't think we should buy a central defender. It's too short term.
I do think Guardiola has made the wrong call on Fernandinho. I don't think we should pay too much to comments at press conferences which may not mean too much but I am wary that he maybe on a mission to prove that he can convert Fernadinho to a central defender. Hopefully these comments ("I like Fernandinho playing in that position a lot," I prefer him there. That's why he plays") are nothing more than a manager refusing to criticise his player in public.
I hope that when Laporte recovers, Stones will partner him and this experiment ends.

We don't have any spots left in the squad for new players. He's always going to say nobody is coming.

This is where we were in September and nothing has changed. We are not going to drop anyone out of the squad list so incoming transfers very unlikely.
It wont stop us sniffing about and asking questions. A lot of transfers that happen in the summer start in January.

I just see some having a pop at pep when the reality is more likely to be a club decision based on several factorsNo, It should be "where is Tixki"

Totally agree Marv, but there are occasional exceptions e.g. Mendy

What about replacing Kompany?
