Welcome Otamendi!


arguably? i'm not exactly sure how he doesn't become a first choice CB an Argie intl who's won accolades in Spain and the Copa as one of the best defenders around.

My guess is that the first cunt to flinch between Vinnie and ze Mangler gets fucking wacked. HOWEVER, this new dude is right footed, no?

It's a bit confusing tbh. I'm very excited to have seemingly pseudo-world class coverage in defense. Amazing, but what does it mean for Vincent?

I'd suggest for now that we've got 2 sets of awesome defenders...Vincent and Mangler and then Otamendi and Denayer.

Can Otamendi play DM? Can Mangler play LB? Can Denayer play LB? And the Artist formerly known as Ponytail will prollee just feast on scraps through injuries or suspensions or form issues and be a pro. Fairly powerful story if it works out.

i hope that this sudden versatility doesn't allow us to fuck up the start of something good by overthinking shit. I'm looking at you Prince of Darkness.

cheers


I see it exactly like this.

If Vinny fucks up or Mangala has a wobble, boom the bearded warrior walks into the team and we don't have to suffer Boyata or Savic as back up.

Shudders.


Or - we might not fuck up so much in the FA and league cups!

He has his own thread, but anyhows..

Amazing signing. Have a look at Rags comments on
http://www.skysports.com/football/news/ ... ester-city

Even they speak sense, our worst defender on paper Demichelis is better than their best, who might be Smalling.
He`s worth every penny, and would replace any CB in all the top clubs in PL.

Kompany better play at his best again, who it looks like he does!

Just watched his interview on the OS. Seems like a hard bastard, but a clever one. He has played with quite a few of the current City players so should need no time bedding in with the squad. I like the fact he came here knowing full well how hard it will be to get in the team. He's got bottle.

Yep.

I'm thinking we must be fairly popular in Argentina now. Light blue kits as well!
