With Denayer, Mangala, Kompany and Demichelis he'd be an expensive luxury purchase.

Still, Kompany is our captain and probably has more than 4 years left in him at the top, Mangala and Denayer are top prospects and have many more than that - we're going to lose one or both of Denayer/Mangala if we sign Otamendi.I can't see Martin being here past January.
There are rumours River Plate want him back.
Martin is going to 35 in December, time to look for a more long term experienced defender now.

£35m on Otamendi could be much better spent further up the pitch.
Disagree mate.
I think Martin will go this summer or in January just before the Argentine season starts in February.
We need to replace his experience because having just Vinny as our experienced defender isn't enough, not with his injury record.
