Otamendi

40m + mangala on loan says AS.

Fucking unbelievable. Mangala's the better player. I'd rather Denayer than otamendi too.

If this happens Txiki can do one. Absolute hindrance.

Looking like Mangala-Mustafi partnership at the back for Valencia this season... So long as Mangala accepts being sent on loan

TRANSFER NEWS ‏@_FootyTalk_ 4m4 minutes ago
Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign Nicolas Otamendi from Valencia. Fee around €40 million.

Rafael Hernández ‏@RafaelH117 4m4 minutes ago
Otamendi arguably the only centre back last season that managed to actually hold Messi, and he did it in two matches.

 

[depps]

Bad move if true, Otamendi will need time to bed in just like Mangala has. Can't see it being true though, why start Mangala over MDM if Pellers doesn't rate him??

 

[BlueDejong]

deal done..

looks like this could be happening?....lots of sources saying the same thing

Sounds like this is a done deal now. The way Joe Hart spoke to Mangala before the game kicked off I feel it's all done now. Won't be happy to lose Mangala on loan but if it's only a year on loan he should come back better for the experience.

 

[SuperBlu]

Mangala is a rock, he wins every header, have pace and strength.

His decision making is not perfect but that will improve by playing every week.

 

[Citizen_leo]

Is Mangala going out on loan !!?? Why him? He seems to have adjusted to the PL now. Otamendi will need time for sure. I hope we are not selling Mangala...

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Doesn't make sense. Why the fuck we would send Mangala on loan? Otamendi will need bedding time also. Strange this imo.

 

[kanovic]

Hope it's not true. Mangala has been solid last two games

 

[Cobwebcat]

At the end of the season Mangala returns and Martin moves on?

 

[USA_SkyBlue]

Moving Mangala now doesn't make sense. Partnered well with MDM at the end of last season and has looked very good so far this season. Why would you pay so much for a player just a season ago and then loan him the next?

 

[bigkatnyc]

Why would we entertain loaning Mangala? He looked great today and will continue to improve and tighten partnership with Vinnie. Younger than Otamendi and stronger too. Full disclosure: no idea if Otamendi is strong but guarantee not more so than Mangala.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Mangala was class today but if its only a loan and not a few to a permanent move. I'd be OK with that.

 

[yankcitizen76]

Do we really need this guy? Mangala was top class today.

 

[kaz7]

iF WE LOAN MANGLER AFTER TODAY WE HAVE LOST THE PLOT

 

[otherwise]

if this means Mangala on loan even just for this year, I don't like it. Hope it's not true.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

At the end of the season Mangala returns and Martin moves on?

I agree mate..I think thats the only way we could make this deal work best for us.....we get a world class defender for £28mil and get Mangala back next season...win-win. Mangala having a great start to the season and would prefer not to loan him out but Otamendi is world class and would make us better.......

 

[JosMCFC]

Right what's the latest on otamendi ...mangala today tho was jus magic

 

[TonyM]

Need depth. Yes we should get him IMO.
