Seen him play.Given his reputation...... Why do you not rate him Nev?
As good as Denayer is and can be, do you really see City relying on him for 20+ games this season?
He will get his chance but he still has to earn his place yet.
I still think Martin is off.
So who leaves for us to fit in yet another fucking centre half instead of the better homegrown one we already have ?
But he isn't.I've never seen him so I have no opinion on his ability,but....... to be the best centre half in La Liga......he must have something??
I too would be gutted for Denayer but I imagine,like others,Demi would make way.
Seen him play.
What is it he supposed to be good at ?
Denayer was miles better for Belgium last week, than Ottamendi was for Aregentina. At pretty much everything. He is ours & homegrown.
This would be the stupidest & most disappointing signing I could possibly imagine. Might as well sign Fred & send Iheanacho on loan while we're at it.
I can't remember.Did you watch his games against Barca and Real Madrid this season?
Mangala would improve Argentina.There is a very great need to sign a top class centre-half. The chaos at the heart of our defence was the single biggest reason we lost our title last season. I know many of us won't acknowledge it, but Mangala is just out of his depth in the premier, and if Vinny is in decline, we're facing another trophyless season unless we do something about it.

I'm not going to get into a row about Mangala, but ask yourself this question: if we were selling him tomorrow, who'd buy him and how much would they pay?There's a reason 'many' of us wont acknowledge it......
Demichelis will probably be on his last legs this season, but the way City play is seriously hard for centre backs, & whereas Pepe or Ramos etc are used to that kind of behaviour, most cbs have not just got the shock of defending with little protection to deal with, but also the culture shock of the Prem, which has hit both Mangala & Fernando.Mangala needs more time and will come good albeit I am not expecting him to come back next season and be the next Lilian Thuram or Marcel Desailly, and in regards to Vinny, a lot comes down to fitness.
I still think we need another experienced top class central defender to replace Martin long term.
Not sure what the fuse is against bringing in Otamendi. Currently he is better than all of our CBs, no argument about it.
