Nicolas Otamendi

[7evens]

As things stand, I am OK with Laporte / stones ( hope he picks up) , Otamendi and Garcia with fernandinho providing cover

A quality CB would be ideal though

We already have three.

Yes, a quality CB would be needed if Otamendi left, which looked a good possibility

 

[razman]

Can't see him leaving

Can't see him leaving

I can to be honest mate. Pep would pick stones over him imo and Laporte is a guaranteed starter

Can't see him leaving

No chance we'll let him leave now unless we've got a top class replacement lined up. I think we'll keep him for one more year and buy a foreign CB next summer when we have the space after Bravo and Silva have left.

 

[BlueCityfan]

Would be a good time to sell him if we can get a top class replacement in.

He is 31, so we'd be replacing another 30+ year old player who we would have to replace in the near future anyway.

 

[cibaman]

If he really wants to go then we should let him.

 

[the_tevez_wiggle]

If he wants to leave I would like Jonathan tah or konate to replace him.

Stones, laporte, konate/tah (all young, all bags of potential, all class on the ball, all could play for another 10-15 years)

E. Garcia, Bellis Harwood (2 fantastic prospects, unbelievable kids to have as emergency 4th cb backup, both could be captains in the future)

Valencia might not be able to afford him.
They want(Ed) maxi gomez but are struggling to afford him

We can forget about a decent fees then

If Arsenal are interested in him what about a swap for Koscielny plus a bit of cash from them?

Koscielny is shite and injury prone

Otamendi says no thanks.

Koscienly ffs mate he’d be a very poor downgrade ffs im better than him and haven’t played for 20 odd years or so ..

 

[The Riot Club]

That's a resounding 'no' then! I always thought he looked quite good, but admittedly that was about 5 years ago.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Be utter madness to sell him, we have been gazumped for Maguire and lost Vinny. Crazy if we lose Ota too.

We walked away from Maguire

Shame really if rumours are true its 60m+ addons of 20m for England and premier league experience player ah well he will get ruined under ole.

Pep has moved us away from bruisers,vinny was one of a kind,Maguire is better suited to the rags and their hoof ball,i would question his ambition going there when brenda will be getting the foxes to play a way that suits him better

 

[BusterPhillips]

Unless clubs are offering silly money I would be telling them to go elsewhere. With Kompany gone and no obvious available CB around that would provide an upgrade, makes no sense letting him go.

Get 1-2 seasons out of him and by that time then maybe Garcia is a first teamer.
