A couple of things, one is that the nature of City's defense is that defenders get exposed a bit more than elsewhere, second is that it often takes neutrals and opposing fans a lot longer to see the virtues of defensive players rather than attacking players particularly when they have a slightly dodgy start and get a reputation. A personal opinion is that he has improved a lot
My argument is not about how good he is or isn't, it's that his reputation has gone down hill significantly since joining us.

He's seen as a complete joke, an awful defender who is always about to have a calamity and a dreadful transfer. You might not think that's fair, or accurate, but that's what people think. It's what pundits think, it's what the general public thinks and it's what Journalists say.
I would say that's in the gutter compared to the La Liga TOTY defender we signed who was pursued by several other clubs.
You must have non-city supporting friends. Go ask them what they think of Otamendi as a signing.

It's just racism, simple as, shouldn't be passed off as anything else.
I know you are probably jesting but the whiff off that on here at times is astounding, I should know, my best mate is black!
Funny Real Madrid rate Otamendi and been interested in him for last few months. 90m I say
Have they? Says who? One shitty Sun rumour 3 months ago and people run with it to pretend it's some sort of validation.
That makes no sense at all.
Madrid apparently want Otamendi, City's best defender this season.
City want Southampton's second best defender this year.
That one is valued twice as high as the other doesn't make sense. Especially when you consider the buying and selling clubs.
We bought one of the most sought after centre backs in Spain for £34 million, he's played nearly every game in two seasons and is now wanted by Madrid, our own fans are somehow valuing him at half of a lad who's had a good 7-10 months at Southampton and 12 caps for an appaulling national side.
As I've said, I'm not Otamendi's biggest fan. But Madrid seem to be and I don't get how anyone can rate VVD far higher than Otamendi.
Sorry was scrolling on the phone and took it out of context, I agree with you.My argument is not about how good he is or isn't, it's that his reputation has gone down hill significantly since joining us.

I think you've nailed it regarding our business selling players.I'd be amazed if Otto was sold for anything more than 35m. Considering our record of offloading players for market value I'd expect us to be lucky to get 25/30m. A loan with us paying half his wages seems about right..
