Not seen much of him, what kind of centre back is he?( like a ball playing centre back or one to bully the opposition strikers?) is there any players you would compare him to in style?

He is both a bully & ball player if u want to compare him ....I'd say best bits of vinnie & demichelis

Twelve months ago and it was all about Mangala vs Benatia for our VK partnership. If this guy is all the rage, why was he never mentioned back then? In fact, how many of us here on this thread had actually heard of him at that time? I for one hadn't and although my knowledge of the game outside the UK and the major European clubs is limited, the fact that I'd never heard of him yet with him being touted now at stupid money just gives me the creeps.

Too many games in a season, as well as injuries for that not to happen.

I disagree. How many other teams successfully rotate 4 centre backs?

This. He was at loan to Atletico Mineiro in 2014 too. Really doubt that this guy is as good as his price tag would have you believe

It is because he has scored 6 goals. Yes had a good season but he's not a million miles ahead of the player he was 12 months ago.

He was a nothing special defender for Argentina who nobody had much interest in, then had a decent season in Spain, which nowardays= Baresi.

He could be a late developer, but he's basically been nothing special & judging by tye lack of interest in him, is still rated as such by many.

Perhaps City have spotted a gem, perhaps not.

If he ends up being our best cb, it means Kompany has gone.

He'd gone in January
