I’d definitely call it ruthless if we’ve convinced Denayer to sign a new 5 year deal on the premise of him getting first team game time, to only a month later make a signing that virtually guarantees he won’t get a sniff of Premier League football.

It’s not just that we might lose Denayer either, it’s the message it sends to the rest of the EDS lads or other young talents we look to bring to the club.

Otamendi is regarded as one of the best cb's in the world. Our management team stated months ago that if the best players are attainable, we'll try and bring them.
I'm sure that if Ramos truly wanted to leave Real ,we'd have tried to get him. Thankfully though, everyone could see that he just wanted a new contract. (well, almost everyone)

Haha. As Lawrenson sarcastically put it on 5live last night, when they were discussing the Ramos situation, "Wow, none of us saw that coming did we?"

Every tackle from him seems to be him diving in, in a get the ball or be sent off situation. It's great when it comes off but he can't be doing that every game in this league. We've already got Vinny who's prone to doing that, we need somebody a bit calmer who reads the play better, stands up, has the pace to match anyone and isn't forced into that situation. AKA Mangala

Just checked his card history and it's actually very good for a centre back, only sent off once last year. So perhaps his timing is impeccable.
 
Let's be honest, our staff have loads of experience in international football and their records speak for themselves.
When people say that they are fuming and throwing strops, do they seriously think that they know more than our management? We're all outsiders that don't know their intentions and plans.
Let's just get these players in and see how things unfold.
 
I have watched a few vids of him since we became interested and (you can mock me if you disagree) IMO this lad could do a Nige job disrupt play a kind of enforcer job
 
Smart signing. Always difficult to sign central defenders (and for them to live up to expectations), but I think we now have a formidable defensive unit. I particularly like the familiarity between them all. I think out of our potential CB partnerships only Kompany/Otamendi haven't played together before. 2 seasons of Demi/Kompany, 1 season Demi/Kompany,Mangala for us. Otamendi/Mangala (and Fernando as anchorman) at Porto, and obviously Demi/Otamendi (+Zaba) at international level.
 
no idea mate. Once he tells my mate I don't like badgering for detail as he is at work. he said will be announced tomorrow. Dont know why sorry.

So if denayer has a another great season on loan what happens next season? he would still be behind three centre backs

Maybe the masterplan is to revert kompany back into midfield? or even denayer.

Imo Denayer cannot yet be relied upon to be a regular cb in City's team, but he is a top footballer, better on the ball imo than any of our cbs & also imo he will quickly be better than these guys as a 1v1 defender. He is a fucking mightmare to get past. Sagna played a blinder v Chelsea but imo Denayer could piss that rightback job, no problem at all, or Fernando's job sitting in midfield & if we played 3 at the back he would be better at it than any of these fuckers.
No way would he be sent out of the club before this age of money. He would get in the team regularly in some position. Or Utd's.

That should happen now. Fuck somebody else off, not Jason. Play him.

I would be astounded if we told Denayer he would definitely be getting a lot of first team football this season, and certainly we wouldn't have done so just to dupe him into signing a long term contract. I strongly suspect we told him, for this upcoming season, we'd either give him a decent amount of first team football, or else we'd loan him out to a team in one of the top divisions (i.e. not Scotland) to get some top quality first team experience. Somewhere like La Liga, or Seria A, or the Bundesliga, or maybe even the Premier League, for a lower half team. We'll have known that Demichelis has got, at most, one more season here before we allow him to move on, and Denayer will have known that too. He'll be a far better player for an additional 12 months experience in a decent quality side. People are forgetting, he's only just turned 20, he's got a lot of room to improve, but he needs to do so if he's going to be a regular future starter for City.
 
This guy is fucking fantastic!! He is a beast! Best defender in Spain best defender in the South American cup! 6 man fe the match awards and 5 goals, top heading goals. He is fast as well, for me he is right up there with Kompany. Sky sports are saying he will sign a 5 year deal. He can play right back as well.
 
If LVG wanted Otamendi, he would be here IMO. Its too bad, once Pedro gets here we are only one solid CB away from making a serious run at the EPL and Champs league.

His agent has said they were told we'd be making no more CB signings of this calibre. They are clearly unhappy.

would be gutted if he went out on loan
Such a class player to watch
 
Presuming he does sign, Argentina play in Bolivia and Mexico in early September, so with all the traveling it's hard to envisage him coming into contention until, say, October.

I've been told medical and interviews will be done tomorrow, presume the announcement will be late tomorrow afternoon.
