Otamendi

[yeah whatever !!]

The Rags are desperately hoping they might still hijack the move.

Rags couldn't hijack a little old lady with a moblity scooter.

Thank fuck denayer signed that five year contract

Surprised at this, no doubting otamendi is a quality player but we seemed to have a good balanced option of centre backs (two first choice, plus some experience with demi and youth with denayer.) Especially considering how Mangala has started the season.

I was hoping Denayer would get a good few opportunities this year myself. Lad looks a proper talent, doing it for Belgium at international level as well.

Just hope he gets a loan move now, shouldn't spend a year as 4th choice here. Needs football.

I hope we didn't mislead him about opportunities this year, and then signed Otamendi completely out of left field to him. I remember there was a lot of deliberation about that new 5 year deal, he'd have every right to be unhappy if he was mislead.

I thought we were perfectly set with the centre halves we had, personally. Age and experience, youth and hunger; a nice mix of players who'd be patient and expect to play.

Otamendi is a player by all accounts though, so we'll just have to see. I'll try and keep the faith a bit more with Txiki's calls. I don't think we've done great from the financial aspect with the deals in and out this summer, but you can't really argue with the moves themselves, they've all been more or less spot on.

To be fair, we've had a 100% success rate with Argentinian players. Tevez, Zaba, MDM, Aguero. commitmed, dogged, and tough. If he follows suit, then this will be a great signing.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

He is getting better, but he just looks prone to a clanger every game

wouldn't be human if he didn't fella...

Sterling and Delph arrived at CFA in something very unspectacular!

Likely a Nissan!

Right. I've arrived at Lowry's house in Mottram, what is it I'm looking for exactly ?

I'll give you a beep when I drive past in about 20 minutes

 

[yeah whatever !!]

I think the other replies I received were slightly better.

and did they grow??

Whilst Willy hasn't flopped *cough* I wouldn't say he's been a 100% success story tbf but the Argies have been very good to us.

Vuoso, arguably, aside as well.

Not complaining about this transfer but i still don't get where he fits in. Mangala and Vinny are the two starters with an excellent veteran and youth player waiting in the wings, it's a perfect balance. Bringing another guy in that's going to expect to be a starter just doesn't make much sense to me.
