Jose Gimenez

[leo_city]

Bumped into him last week, seemed a bit down , the impression I got was the manager has lost faith completely

Seems so as well. Especially when you consider how many starts Eric Garcia got despite him being fit.

Nope. Sounds like his club are getting it out there. Maybe they need the cash.

For that type of money, I'd hope we could find better.

Gimenez feels more like a signing to shift the culture in our back line... a latter day Andy Morrison, someone to toughen us up and stop teams taking the piss. The likes of Stones, Garcia and Zinchenko get a bit bullied sometimes and even our more physical players... Walker and Laporte don’t really put it about. That‘s where we miss Fern, he’s the only one who really goes toe to toe with the opposition and he doesn’t so subtly...

107. Million pound release clause do you think we would pay it? Release clauses are what what we usually do.

No.

And Otamendi does.

Trouble is he randomly runs out 20 yards to do it, then finds out they are behind him.

Be wary of signing defenders out of that system.

He's not slow though, is he ?

 

[sir baconface]

Does anyone know how good or not he actually is? Not just Fifa ratings but legitimately seen him play?

Never heard of him, mate. He’s probably shit. :)

And Otamendi has the subtlety of Boris Johnson... he rarely commits a foul without getting carded... he has that guilty look whereas Fern is the picture of innocence.

Would be a strange signing for us as he's quite slow and has shone in Atletico's notoriously deep and organised defence. Then again, we were in for Maguire and he's not exactly quick either. I'd be surprised to see it happen.

if we have that sort of cash we should test madrid for varane!

Maybe that match against us was a demo!
