Not sure but I dont think we've had 3 truly top drawer CB's all vying for 2 spots.

I like that the players mix. Makes Manchester weather more palatable for them.

I'm guessing from Otamendi's Twitter page that he is closer to Rojo than to our lads. No harm in that. It's good that the more limited players like Rojo can still find a team in the area to play in when their buddies are stars at the top club in the country.

Same with Romero.

TBF The players at both clubs seem decent people. The days of real c#nts have gone. Even Rooney isn't bad. Not a patch on the lunatics under Ferguson.

I'm going to bed... ;-)
 
I think the fact there is a big Spanish speaking group of players across the two clubs really does help us (nothing can help the rags with their tarnished reputation now)

Rojo the violent thug and the one offering cash to girls for sex? Rooney? This best be a sick joke.

No seriously there were true scum at the club up until recently. Rooney is the last. He may scream at the refs but to be fair he doesn't mouth off in the press or act the big boy Charlie on the pitch.

Keane, Ferdinand, Cantona, and a host of others were spiteful shits.

Now they have mostly journey men.

I still want them to suffer as a club but I cant hate their players like I used to. Maybe it's because Neville who I despised has turned out to be a very level headed person once you give him time.

If that offends then tough - I don't define my love for City by my hate for the other lot.

Ps I hate Liverpool more now anyway. :-)

Oh I just thought about Young - I still hate him as much!!!

Wouldn't put it past him. New EDS player David Faupala had Retweeted this:

Maybe he's heard something. Don't think I've ever see any youth players tweet about transfer rumors before.

Then there's this:

Why would a member of the media have a hard time covering an EDS game? *Maybe* we didn't want him to stumble upon our new signing sitting in the stands before the announcement??

I don't know who Bajkowski is, but he's talking out of his arse. City bend over backwards for the media, even those cockroaches who slag us off every week.

I dont know much about Rojo, but Romero is a very humble and kind person. I could not help to feel good for him when I heard about his move to United, and finally play in a good league. Dont hate me ñ_ñ

According to the article, when he was 16, and supposedly he lost his virginity with her.

But apparently is a non-story:

Por supuesto

“Yo en ese momento tenía veintiseis años -ahora tiene treinta y ocho- y el Kun era un nene.¡Era una locura!”

Kun perdió la virginidad con ella. Lucky boy. Not true through.

Also on a side note Otamendi played with Fernando at Porto under AVB in his successful days. I also think he partnered Mangala in Porto's defence later on. So plenty of familula faces for him to settle.
Click to expand...

There has probably never been a better scenario for a player to settle. He joins 5 other argentines in our squad - including Zuculini, his roommate last year. Zabaleta and Demichelis who he regularly partners for Argentina. Then there's at least 2 other Spanish speakers, and 5 who speak Portuguese, including his old teammates Fernando and Mangala. Topping it all off, two of his best friends play for the rags.

If this guy can't settle, then no one can. He's already been teammates with 5 of the players for years.

Thats only wishes and hopes from River to have him back, only a rumour.

The dont have the money to do it... as always, southamerican clubs depends ON players will and what they can get as a deal or way to get out of their contracts with european clubs.

I suspect we'd accept a token fee if Martin wanted to leave. He's been a great player, but realistically at 35 with 10 months left on his contract - 4 by the time the argentine league starts, he's got not transfer value. Also I think the lack of summer break will hit him hard, and he's been replaced at CB anyway. Not to mention the Denayer angle...

As long as we don't go too mad on defensive rotation we should be OK.

I think over-rotation of the back four was one of our biggest problems last season.
Click to expand...

I think that there is no problem rotating CB's but only if they have a familiarity with each other. Take Real Madrid. Pepe, Ramos and Varane have all played with each other for a few years and any combination of the 3 is going to be rock solid.

Last year Demi and Mangala were a good pairing, as was Kompany and Demi (in general). The problem was Mangala-Kompany because they rarely played. Now those two are developing a relationship, and Mangala and Otamendi already have one, I think we can form a 3 man unit like real have over the coming years.
 
i think this signing will be the season maker, if it works we will have a real chance in the Champions League, MDM has been solid enough but personally, I'd rate Otamendi as better than Vinny and as a pairing (if it works) it will probably be the best CB pair in Europe. (Yes I took my blue tinted specs off before I compared him with Vinny, it wasnt easy...)
Add to that the Silva/Sterling partnership, which I think has hit the ground running, it makes this the deal of the summer, Pogba and/or De Bruyne would be great additions of course, and the left back problem needs sorting (still), but I think this is the best signing, if it goes through.
*All IMO of course..
