Otamendi

[Stephenhakin]

Anyone going the other way to Valencia?

Did mention did in earlier post mate...but no sorry. Just said 'its certain" we are getting Otamendi. He doesn't who if anyone is going the other way sorry.

So either one of him and mangala sit on the bench?

 

[George Hannah]

So is it three at the back or a new role for somebody?

 

[Yates]

Mangala isnt going anywhere

I know, was only questioning whether this is Valencia or City who started the negotiations

Can't Mangala play at left back?........sure I read somewhere he can.

He can, but Kolarovs playing great just now. Can't see him getting shifted out the team any time soon

Usually comes after they've been told they've got no chance!

The move makes sound financial sense as well because we still have to respect FFP regs (like all clubs) and not put too much pressure on our commercial section to boost income.
Any fee can be reduced by giving VFC a debit note for the amount they still owe us regarding the Negrada deal.

I think I am right in saying Otamendi hasn't had that much of a pre-season. I don't event think he has been training lately, so it might take him a while to get up to speed with the rest of the squad.

So there shouldn't be the scenario of having to "throw him in" against anyone. Barring injuries he'll have to bide his time and take his opportunity when it arises.
