Otamendi

[Leech]

and did they grow??

Had to take off my pants.

Was expecting this but another Argentine will do for me.

Of course we're staying with the mighty Gary Cahill! Yayy

We're in 4 cup competitions.
Rotation will be key to avoid injuries.
Can't see the problem.

Surely its better to have a consistant back four though?
You could see the improvement in our defence towards the end of last season when pellegrini stuck with the same back five every game .

I can relieve you in another 30 mins (but not in a gay way!)

Now now. I know you guys are excited ...

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.

I think we are very solid at this position but I like the way in this transfer window we have always kept one eye open if an opportunity comes our way to improve the team. That opportunity opened up when Valencia were having problems paying us the money they owe. I'm sure Otamendi wasnt at the top of our shopping list when window opened but you got to love the way we jumped on the chance and stopped the rags from improving all at the same time....You can never have enough talent and this guy is one of the best......think its a great move! De Bruyne will be the icing on the cake for me!;)

He's an upgrade to Mangala and Demichelis, good signing.

Mangala really gonna make people eat there words this season he's going to be immense really impressed by him in the 2 games so far!

Multiple sources reporting Otamendi is having his City medical in Manchester.

I had to watch that twice. Thought it was from the hospital :/

 

[BlueDruid]

Found the right one, nowt doing. I'll go for a pint and check again shortly

They've conveniently placed some chairs outside the pub for people on hospital watch - boss just told me he's closing at 4 so I'll be heading over soon.

Just wondering, as I don't fully understand FFP, is there ANY repercussion to our summer spending? We've obviously bought Sterling, Roberts, Delph and we're apparently due to sign Otamendi and maybe KDB. If (not sure of figures) we don't break even this season and IF our wage bill has increased (not sure due to loans and sales etc), will there be any repercussions or punishments? I heard Inter and Mancini sold Kovacic because of FFP so I was just wondering that if our sanctions have been lifted, what happens if we break it this year?
