supporter 3,088 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Why not Otamendi?This week has appeared a rumor that Jose would have called Jorge Mendes to ask about the situation of Otamendi. The rumor has appeared in "Superdeporte" a local newspaper from Valencia which usually pretty good information about Valencia and they are usually very reliable.I think we need a new Centre-back. John Terry (c) is turning 35 years old and at that age one years can be very good but the next give a physical slump. And many of us do not fully trust Cahill. I think Zouma end up being indisputable with us this season. But three center-back might not be enough to end of season.The price of the clause is 50 million euros (35 million pounds), but I think, considering that Jorge Mesde is practically the boss of Valencia right now, the final price could be lower if we include players on loan. Players like Nathan Ake, which would be perfect for Valencia in a similar Atletico Madrid Courtois and situation.Everyone would benefit if Chelsea and Valencia make a pact to exchange players on loan. Mourinho and Nuno have a similar mentality in many ways. Also players like Tomas Kalas as a substitute for Otamendi. Or Oriol Romeu (who already played for Valencia), or Bertrand Traouré .... All these players have level to play with Valencia and could return in one or two years as established players. It would be a big deal for us a deal with Valencia.Varane is impossible, only if Rafat Benitez is so dumb of respect the hierarchy of Pepe and Sergio Ramos Real Madrid finally does not leave Real Madrid this summer, only if this happens, we would have a choice. But we must be realistic, this is very very very unlikely.Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Considering we're not getting Varane, Otamendi is the next best thing (with Stones). If Jose thinks he suits us, then I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I would buy Stones and loan him out to Everton for another year. In case we run out of CB's we could recall Kalas or Christensen back. Essentially we have 4 centre-backs in Terry, Zouma, Cahill and Ivanovic. That should be enough judging by our luckiness to avoid injury waves. Paying 35 million pounds for a centre-back would effectively make Otamendi our first-team centre-back whilst Jose would probably utilize Cahill instead of Zouma because of his superior experience in big games and European football. Consequently, Zouma would become our 4th choice centre-back which would probably lead to him being loaned out in January and result in stagnation of his career.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I think he is overrrated.Had great season, looks like a badass, but that doesnt make you 30m+ CB. Dont forget Rami thing, he was awesome one season at Valencia but absolute shit season later and got sold to Milan where he continued to be shit.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 If we are willing to pay 20-30m for Stones why not sum up £5m more and activate this guy's release clause? His agent is Mendes and he was the best CB in La Liga last season. Also he is only 27 years old, could potentially have 5+ years ahead of him.

His agent is Mendes and he was the best CB in La Liga last season. Also he is only 27 years old, could potentially have 5+ years ahead of him.Because he'd demand immediate first - team action, isn't a young "potential future England captain" and has one really big season behind his back, while Stones is impressing. It's a gamble for Stones, and a gamble for this guy too. He'll block Zouma's development 100 times more than Stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 After the game i opened twitter and saw 'Otemandi to City - Done Deal'. It felt like the 4th goal in our net.It will be extremely disappointing if until the end of the window City will get Otamendi+KDB while we just get Baba, and Stones wouldnt make it much better. That will be a serious show of intent from City, and the lack of it in Chelsea.Especially when we're talking about City, a club who is under the threat of FFP, like us. So it leaves no excuses.

termninja 5,290 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 With Mangala shaky, Demichelis not getting older, Otamendi would be a brilliant player for City. He and Mangala can compete for CB positon and suddenly from shaky Kompany and average Demichelis, City would go sky high in terms of defenders compared to us. Crazy...

OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 He is a good player but 40M euros plus the loan of a 32M pound CB they bought last year... weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah because 30m+ for unproven CB makes more sense...Anyway valencia would have to buy Mangala for 32m or sth at the end of next season like they had to do with Negredo. Only thing curious is that Mangala had two very good games so far so I dont see why they need to buy Otamendi atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
