Nicolas Otamendi

[CWMCFC]

I could see Otamendi having a real resurgence playing in a Conte team.

Would be a great move for all parties if true. €5m is about what I would expect we could get for him given his wages and our track record - might be able to get a few more out of Inter in add ons.

This is another example of selling too late.

It seems to be an example of you sell when you can.

Inter and everyone else have been waiting till the last week's to lowball us and we have no choice but to take it. On the books it's a 5m profit and his wages are gone.

As long as we get a buy-back clause.

Why is everyone saying his wages are an issue yet we do not pay more than a lot of other clubs and we do a lot of our pay on an incentive based system. Its not like he is even one of our top earners or has just signed a deal

He’s on 120k a week. No one is paying that for a 32 year old Otamendi, hence why it will have to be partly subsidised by a low transfer fee.

You know a transfrer must be incoming if we're letting nico go.

Would probably let him go even if no one was coming in tbf

Of course but I'm talking about selling him now and not 18/19. We'll do the same with Stones and get 10-15m next summer instead.

This is another example of selling too late.

After the Centurion season was the time to sell. Nico was really really good, playing far above his usual level. He hasn’t come close to that form since.

Hope he enjoys Italy. Won't miss him diving in too late. Oh, and that rolling around holding his face.

Was a good player in his time but that time is well past.
