Demichelis

[NoahCity]

well, guess we are definitely in for him, will probably just raise the bid.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Just to recap. for people watching the edited video v Real Madrid:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07u7zAzJonA[/youtube]

Stop the picture on 4:11. Have a look at the position taken up by our possible signing. Then have a look at his 'mobility' in dealing with Benzema.


Like I say, if Pellegrini thinks he's the man then fair enough, but he's no more 'mobile' or anything else, than the players we have now, & less 'mobile' than Kolo Toure.

 

[Jumanji]

Is Demichelis good on the ball?

Better than lescott, not as good as messi

I am better than lescott

I know little kids that play in parks that are better on the ball than Lescott but I can assure you you're not better at defending (;

Yes but the question was "is he good on the ball"

Just to recap that he made a mistake. So what.
If he didn't then he wouldn't be playing for A.Madrid.

FFS, how about we start digging out videos of Kompany doing the same thing or Thiago Silva or how about a few vintage videos of Cannavaro making a mistake, Maldini failing to track a run, Nesta moving into the wrong position.

Too right. Any players who never made a mistake would be priced at £50m or more.

Because, you pair of utter twerps, people were using a video of his 'wonderful' performance v Real Madrid, as a reason we should sign him. I am showing the reality.

 

[decmancity]

Nice.
I haven't even watched that video, I don't need to.

So what if he made one mistake, I will put my neck on the line and say that the video also shows him playing well? and that he made one mistake with regards to positioning which was against one of the best strikers in the world not fucking John Walters.

The reality is that you will have no impact on if we sign him or not so why bother nitpicking?

If we are interested/made a bid then it is clear that Pellegrini want's him. Who shall I put my trust in, Pellegrini or you?

I have a thick skin but there's still no need to call people "utter twerps" for merely pointing out that no player is perfect. Leave that language for the trolls.

We had a £1.2million bid rejected according to Cadena COPE. Atleti want around £4.2m which is rather expensive for a 32-year-old who just joined them on a free but if we really want him it's a lot cheaper than the £20million we're willing to pay for Pepe (who I'd still rather we got but Varane's injury makes it close to impossible). He's been included in Atleti's squad for tomorrow, by the way, so nothing appears imminent.

Think if we edge up to 2 million we will get him and will be decent cover while nasty is out

No he didn't play particularly well in the video either. It's purely that people are doing the usual 'grass is always greener' routine thjat plagues this forum.

He did nothing in that clip that our defenders can't do & may not if we sign him.

I have already said though I will trust Pellegrini if he signs him. That doesn't mean Pellegrini will automatically be right.

As for who you will trust, I don't care, I'm just showing the reality of it rather than the fantasy.

 

[RobertBlue]

the one thing he can do that Lescott cant is make good passes through the middle (which we need) and hes great on the ball.... we cant play a high pressure and a high line with someone who makes mistakes and gives the ball away under pressure... Demichelis, Coentrao are all we need and we ll probably get them both for less than the price of pepe!

City of Demichelis: conditions Atlético Madrid

The eyes of the Manchester City Martin Demichelis. The strong central defender Atlético Madrid, a former Bayern Monaco, and not a little like Manuel Pellegrini, who coached him at Malaga. The Argentine has reached zero in Madrid recently, and the Spanish club to sell it asks between 7 and 9 million euro. If the payment should arrive by the end of next week, the operation can take off. Otherwise, Demichelis can continue the adventure in the Spanish Liga. But Pellegrini does not give up ...

[LoveCity]

Those fees are an absolute piss-take considering he is 32 and joined them free last month. Move on, City.

 

[BlueDejong]

What are you doing, Txiki !?

Sakho is 10m euro !!!

 

[SPIDERBOY]

Those fees are an absolute piss-take considering he is 32 and joined them free last month. Move on, City.

Agreed....all day long

 

[City_Sean]

get Sakho!!!!

 

[decmancity]

Why are people saying Sakho?
He is third choice where is now. Why would he join City and be the same?

 

[blueloon]

Agreed, but lets not fool ourselves we need a quality defender who has Champions League experience. For me, Demichelis would tick a lot of boxes. The fact he worked with Pellegrini at Malaga could workout in our favor here. YouTube doesn't always give you a clear assessment of transfer targets...
