Thank you Otamendi - official to Benfica for €15m

[madridblue]

At his best he was excellent, especially during the centurions season. Thanks Ota and all the best with Benfica.
Hasta siempre General.

 

[trevorriley]

gave 100%, hard as nails in clashes, hardly ever on the sick bench which was a rare thing to see for us. Also a defender who could score.

thanks Ota, good luck for the future.

 

[Jam Tomorrow]

Sad to see him go, a bit rash but also good in the air and on the ground with the ball.

 

[Patientman63]

A great player, your shift here is greatly appreciated, far more good games than bad.

Of course an occassional rush of blood, that's the price you pay for an aggressive dominant centre back.

Good luck in Portugal.

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

Wish him good luck in Lisbon. Shame to see another Argentinian go because they seem to be good fighters on the pitch. Often verged from very good to sat on his arse. Best attribute was a backs to the wall General. Worst was his tendency to roll over with barely any contact

Wish the lad all the best as I’ve always liked him and although not our best ever defender he was a decent player and a model pro.
Wish we still had all the Argies!
That great era is slowly coming to an end unfortunately.

 

[BolinCell]

Good luck Ota.

 

[sir baconface]

Always liked him and wish him all the very best for the future. Cheers, Ota!

For some reason a goal line clearance against Newcastle in 17/18 sticks in my mind as a highlight of his time with us. For a few months he was absolutely imperious.

A great bit of business for Benfica. Getting a decent centre back plus 50 mill in the bank.

Thanks Nico, you've been a great servant for the club. Good luck with Benfica.
