Diego Carlos is rash, but strong bit of a dick type defender, can play out the back pretty well also has abit of pace. But that rash attitude to a tackle would worry me
A younger version of Ota without the caps. The only plus he is much cheaper than Kouibaly (which is not a ringing endorsement)
I fear that is us.
75 million euro release clause seems like a deal we would do
I had been told last year that it is an issue after Jorginho. Diego Carlos is an easy deal to do.
Hopefully not to us.Rumours Diego carlos is on the move...
The Koulibaly deal is hanging by a thread. City refusing to meet the figures quoted and no movement since early last week.
Koulibaly deal will happen! I refuse to believe we will walk away from this. We need him desperately...
The rumour on Upemecano is that he has been tapped to join Bayern next summer.
On Messi, a late offer makes no sense. The only way Barça sell is if his sale allows a rebuild. A late sale makes it very difficult for them to get players in.
While in some ways I’d love to see is tell ADL to do one, the gulf in class between himself and Diego Carlos is incredible. He conceded penalties in 3 successive Europa League matches, Otamendi isn’t that stupid. It would be incredibly poor planning to haggle over Koulibaly for 2 months abs then get our 2nd choice with very little preparation time for the new season.
Perhaps it’s a hangover from the Lyon of a general feeling of malaise from last season but it doesn’t feel like anyone at City has a firm hand on the tiller at the moment.
Only thing that gives hope on a late bid is that Bartomeu can say "we had to accept this crazy money for the good of the club, but we didn't have time to reinvest it." I doubt it though.

How late?
After deadline or before?
After deadline? Now that's late!

Carlos is Otamendi with pace. Which is Otamendi without his biggest weakness so a massive improvement but for €75m a bit underwhelming.
Whatever. Most important thing is we are getting some pace and physicality into the backline one way or the other

As I said
As I said not in the same breath as Sergio for me and not been that special when I have seen him. You may have seen a lot more of himMost players in world football would be, but we have to look for a long term replacement , now is the perfect time to bring a player into the team slowly.
Christ. €75m for that guy?I fear that is us.

I assume every one that hasn’t been deleted, or amended, is what he meantThe guy implied that you can't see all of his 200+ posts and implied that it was because he'd deleted them.
I'm saying you can see every one of those posts.
Otamendi's tenure here has been generally underrated, but god, that is not what I want to read about a €75m signing.Carlos is Otamendi with pace. Which is Otamendi without his biggest weakness so a massive improvement but for €75m a bit underwhelming.

Can we not just offer angelino and say €40m for upamercano? Carlos is a extremely fast and strong but seems rash as fuck and not exactly bright with it?

Lukaku breezed past him.
Sevilla are not dropping their price 75 million relase clause or Carlos stays, I have a bad feeling this is a deal we would do, Liverpool have cooled their interest, Bayern have stopped looking at him. So whos the club thats been asking about his release clause.

But then again Roy you could always ignore him, he is equally entitled to his opinionFine. Don't read it then. Let him post what he wants. It's not a crime and if he was wumming, Ric would have banned him by now. If you think he is a troll, ask Ric to look at him and he will find out.

Bayern tapping a player up, surely notThe rumour on Upemecano is that he has been tapped to join Bayern next summer.
