No doubt otamendi is a good defender and being argentinian i believe he will adapt easily to the premier league , and will be a great addition to the squad but this signing only proves 100% that MP will never give any of our youth players a chance. Denayer must be disillusioned , he has had a superb pre season , his agent was allegedly promised there would be no more centre back signings and yet we have a 30m experienced international centre back on the verge of signing . VK is showing signs of a return to form , Mangala is improving with every game , MDM was our best defender last year , and Denayer has shown real promise , so i think the Otamendi signing is overkill , MP and any future manager will be paid on results and the pressure to win trophies will mean our club will not develop players for our own 1st team , the likes of angelino,barker,iheancho,denayer,byrne,horsfield etc etc will probably forge decent careers similiar to Trippier and Ben Mee , so at least our academy will pay for itself in transfer fees , loans and sell-on deals.
This is more an observation than a critcism of our club , we cant have it both ways , watching some of the best players in the world week in , week out and winning trophies does not go hand in hand with youth development in the modern game , i can hark back to the White,Lake,Brightwell,Hinchcliffe,Moulden era , and the pride we had in our home grown lads , but we won nowt.

Not very holistic but when a player of class comes available you just have to take it

why was he so keen to get out of Valencia this summer?

It was cited, that he wanted to ensure the situation of his family (££ $$), and, of course, he wanted to play in bigger clubs, Chamnpions League, and more.

You have first to understand, that he was called up to play for Argentina (under Maradona as coach) with only 20 years, and was hailed as one of the best defenders in Argentina since Roberto Ayala. So.. of curse he want to play for a bigger club, and wiki something..
