Otamendi

[RichardDunneOwnGoal]

Brennan still thinks Otamendi isn't even in the country.

That's priceless. The MUEN living up to its rep I see.

 

[We'reNotReallyHere]

Wouldn't we rather buy the 21 year old Englishman John Stones for this sort of money?

Otamendi is reportedly going to be valued at 32m and he's 27 years old.

Why? We are buying a finished article.

Someone replied to the "LVG for not wanting" with........"if LVG wanted him,he would be here by now"

To be fair they have a thread asking if Smalling is the best centre half in the Premier League, The fact that the very first reply wasn't "get to fuck" just shows how deluded they are.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Wow...this sounds like we were willing to sell Mangala?

Mangala was told he could find a new club this summer, but his strong performances have sharply elevated his standing. (via @DuncanCastles)

 

[Ray78]

I'm sure Otamendi is coming fully expecting to start every match

Same for the likes of Kompany and Mangala.

That's precisely why we are buying him. For his experience. We have Denayer at a similar age to Stones, we don't need another CB that we need to develop. We're looking for success in the Champions League as soon as possible which is why we're after a wiser partner for Kompany while Denayer and Mangala get up to scratch.

Probably not. Voldermort is KFA

 

[RichardDunneOwnGoal]

Absolutely bang on this.
What's his passing like?
We only have MD and AK who can pass to any worthwhile standard in the defence so if he can that would enhance us too. Just my opinion

Pretty average, seems the only real weakness to his game.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Why don't the MEN just hire someone like @LoveCity to cover MCFC news.

He's so far ahead of the likes of Stuart Brennan it's untrue.

I'm not all that surprised. He was a liability last year but if he's turned it round in those two games that's a real testament to his attitude. Personally I think Otamendi will take his position before long anyway.

 

[thereWasATime]

There are two CM positions, two players for each position: Yaya Fernandinho Delph and Demichelis would be a good fit for the four for me.

Kompany Mangala Otamendi and Denayer the four for the two CH positions.

You comfortably ignored Fernando :)

 

[BucksBlue]

Apart from the rags of course.

.....and the Romans, Germans, Spanish and Bosnians

Yep. To reach the summit of European football (which I believe is Mansour's objective) some day you have to be ruthless in transfer market (ins and out).

No beard stats on there

Bit disappointing

 

[Florida Blue]

Calm down everyone, Denayer just signed a 5 year deal a month ago, if he goes to Barcelona, Everton, Lyon or anywhere on loan and does great over the next 2 seasons he will still have 3 years left so we either sell him for 80 mill or take him back, it's a win win.

Seen/heard of too many youth players that were supposed to be great then faded away. Weiss looked like Messi at youth level. Dennis Suarez, Guidetti etc etc.

If he's good enough he will come back from a loan and get picked. We are trying to mix it with the big big boys now and learning your trade in those games isn't the answer. Coming on at 4 nil up v Villa for 10 mins at home and a couple of Capital One Cup games probably isn't the answer either, let him go play competitive Premier football if possible.

Like somebody posted earlier, it's a great time to be a City fan, enjoy the ride!

Nothing wrong with his passing, Mangala's numbers look better because he spent last year playing in our system, and we play out from the back. Otamendi's numbers will look similar in our system.

Personally I would say no Otamendi has held his own against Bale, Messi, Neymar etc. Stones might be good or he might be another over hyped Everton youngster.

No mate Kompany was the liability last year,which was affecting a new young player like Mangala !
