Otamendi

[SWP's back]

Sorry but how is forgoing a £20m debt and paying a 8m the same as "getting him for 8m"

THat 20m is money we were going to get, and now aren't. You can't just wipe it out.

He's costing 28m, it's a good price. Not sure why everyone is trying to massage the figure and act like he is being picked up for pennies.

Because we haven't had the money, nor the player (Negredo) for a long time.

It will be booked as Negredo & 3m.

The cheeseman bit was obviously pre recorded.

his twitter says it was recorded at least two hours ago - but there was enough out there then to indicate Mangala is staying

denayer should surely be heading for a loan , hopefully a decent PL side , that keeps him happy as well

Undoubtedly this has already been posted but I tell you what - he has got little Lionel's number!

You're right, but instead of getting a few million every now and then, over several seasons, it's put into the Otamendi transfer, if I'm not mistaken. Smart piece of business IMO.

Cheeseman on BBC North West has just raised the spectre of Eli going to Valencia - 1845 - note the time!

Knows something we don't?

No. Never.

Denayer might be the one that is making room for Otamendi...

City defender Jason Denayer (20) looks set to head out on loan again, with several big clubs showing interest. (via @svenclaes)

 

[yeah whatever !!]

No. Can I buy a bag of grit.

How about a packet of gravel :)

If he does go on loan would like it to be a premier league club...

No it won't. The Negredo fee has already been accounted for, they are two completely separate transactions and are dealt with separately. It will go down as whatever fee is agreed in its entirety (or however it's structured in terms of delayed payments or additional clauses) and will not have any mention of any Negredo money which as far as our accounts are concerned we've already received.

Transfer centre coming up now, hopefully should clarify it.
