Otamendi

[Stephenhakin]

Anyone going the other way to Valencia?

Did mention did in earlier post mate...but no sorry. Just said 'its certain" we are getting Otamendi. He doesn't who if anyone is going the other way sorry.

 

[mancityscot]

So either one of him and mangala sit on the bench?

 

[George Hannah]

So is it three at the back or a new role for somebody?

 

[Yates]

Mangala isnt going anywhere

I know, was only questioning whether this is Valencia or City who started the negotiations

Can't Mangala play at left back?........sure I read somewhere he can.

He can, but Kolarovs playing great just now. Can't see him getting shifted out the team any time soon

Usually comes after they've been told they've got no chance!

The move makes sound financial sense as well because we still have to respect FFP regs (like all clubs) and not put too much pressure on our commercial section to boost income.
Any fee can be reduced by giving VFC a debit note for the amount they still owe us regarding the Negrada deal.

I think I am right in saying Otamendi hasn't had that much of a pre-season. I don't event think he has been training lately, so it might take him a while to get up to speed with the rest of the squad.

So there shouldn't be the scenario of having to "throw him in" against anyone. Barring injuries he'll have to bide his time and take his opportunity when it arises.

If the season and future seasons go as planned we will be playing 55+ matches, there will be plenty of matches for all three.

 

[BurnCK]

So is Mangala going on loan the other way? I really don't understand this one - Denayer must be gutted he's signed a new contract, the only way this will work is if Pellegrini keeps on bringing a 3rd CB onto the pitch with 15 mins to go, otherwise there just won't be enough game time for them all!

Think Denayer needs another full season out on loan before he can realistically challenge for a starting spot. Would like to see him loaned to an English Prem side to see how he fairs rather than Scottish Prem.

I'm thinking we'll lose Demichelis or Denayer and Vinny will revert to DM in some games.

Any photo's yet from the offices next to the Hospital, of a chap just casually ambling towards the doors after exiting an expensive black people carrier?

I know it's so far only provided transport for Delph and Sterling but I'm sure that in this modern day that the company doesn't have a cultural policy on who they have travelling with them.

Awesome.

He's been playing at CB and LB for a lot of games imo

 

[manimanc]

We'll knock me down with a fuckin feather. .
Tweet after tweet all summer and pre season that he's twabs bound.
What a surprise.
