Thank you Otamendi - official to Benfica for €15m

[Blootoof]

Been a good servant but he needs some sun on his face to complement his beard.

Great price especially considering his wages, well done Tixi

The fees for both players will have been inflated for the purposes of FFP

 

[burning blue soul]

great servant to the club. im sure he enjoyed his time here as much as we enjoyed watching him. good luck at Benfica, General!

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Yep, farewell Ota, thanks for the memories, wishing you all the best.

While some players were in the press for the wrong reasons, we never had any issues at all with Otamendi. As far as we know he never complained or caused any trouble. The squad seemed to like him. We've had so many issues with injuries over the last few years, and Nico was one of the few players who never had so much as a cold. For many people his time here will be defined by errors, but not for me.

I'll remember how good he was at his best, and the fact that he was one of the top five most crucial parts of the best ever Premier League team. I'll remember him as one of the only defenders in England who pocketed Harry Kane with ease every single time he faced him. I'll remember him as the guy who scored the goal that ended the title race in December.

There would be no Centurions if not for their General. Thanks, Nico.

Served us well once the going to ground and being on his arse was coached out of him. Good deal all round.

That was never coached out of him. That’s why we’re selling him!

Adios Generalissimo.
Remembered for derby winners and doing his hair against West Ham while they scored and last year's shit show at Norwich.
Never gave less than his best and was good at times if inconsistent. Good luck at Benfica.

 

[Millo]

He was never the best defender in the world and a bit rash at times, but he was loyal to City and always gave 100%. You couldn’t fault his commitment.
