Otamendi

Left.

Interesting, left sided but right footed?

 

[City Raider]

I'd have said right, as he played RB for Argentina when younger, but this season, where he put in the performances that have made people think he's worth €50m, he was on the left 75% of the time. He's right footed.

Ta mate

Same as Demichelis I think.

 

[Neville Kneville]

No we won't.

Pellegrini said 2 more players

We have 2 foreign player spots.

Assuming we actually want Zuculini, Otamendi would replace a foreign player anyway. so at most, we'd need to offload 1 player.

This would be the current situation if, as Tolmie stated, Otamendi was one of 3 possible signings to come in 'if we have enough money left', which is what i was referring to.

1 Willy 2 *Martin Demichelis* 3Aleksandar Kolarov 4Vincent Kompany 5 Eliaquim Mangala 6Bacary Sagna 7Pablo Zabaleta 8 Fernando 9 Fernandinho 10 Samir Nasri
11 Jesus Navas 12 David Silva 13 Yaya Toure 14Sergio Aguero 15 Wilfried Bony 16 *De Bruyne* 17....

Bruno Zuculini, Iheanacho, A.N Other, Otamendi

So if we get DeBruyne then in the Champions League we would currently have one space for 4 players. In the Prem, one space for 3 players as Kelechi counts as U21.

So two or three have to go.

The free kick Fern gave away, and from which Lambert nearly scored, came about directly as result of an atrocious Eli pass. Go back and take a look.

You mean indirectly? Fern stupidly went through the back of Gardner about 30 seconds after Mangala's atrocious pass.

 

[nijinsky]

Any truth in the reports coming out of Spain today? They seem adamant City are about to sign him. Valencia have pulled him from their CL squad...

It's on Marca's transfer timeline at 17:07 here http://www.marca.com/eventos/directo/2015/08/14/24222/asilovivimos.html
They've added to the Cadena Ser tweet from earlier that we are in pole position to sign him, with the option of Mangala going the other way on loan. Who knows?

Also on there at 17:28, it look like we've signed another young Spanish player, Erik Sarmiento from Espanyol. Link http://www.marca.com/2015/08/14/futbol/equipos/espanyol/1439566211.html

Zuculini also counts as U21 in the Prem. Born in Feb.

I think De Bruyne is the other player, by the way. . .

The plot thickens!.

No he doesn't. Has to have been UNDER 21 before 1/1/2015.

He was 21 so is a foreign player. We went through all this in the KDB and PP threads a while back before Dzeko and Jovetic left.
