I've decided I 100% want this guy here.

We concede far too many goals. I miss the good old days of having a ridiculously good defence.
 
He's been very solid so far in the copa for Argentina hasn't he? Starting to like him :drool: Watch Madrid come in now and snap him up in a matter of days.

Does ottamendi have eu passport?

Madrid have Danillo, casimero, james, and lucas silva as non-eu squad members. They're only allowed 3 so if they want ottamendi they'd have to get rid of 2.

Or am i being cynical that the British and Spanish press just haven't done their homework?

I don't think he does, as Valencia had to send him on loan to Brazil for half a season as they already had too many Non-EU players on the books when they bought him.

Yeah. Although he played for porton in 2010 which means he's been employed in Europe for 5 years so i imagine he's now eligible for eu passport.
Still, they need to get rid of one non eu player (i imagine they'd send someone on loan)
 
My cousin (Barca fan) was absolutely raving about him today. Said he was easily the best CB in La Liga last season and is "built " for the premiership. I've never seen him play but been hearing a lot of good things about him from several people who watch La Liga regularly.
 


Valencia had two conditions to let Nicolas Otamendi leave them this summer. One was that a club, Manchester United or anyone else, paid his €50m termination clause. The other was that the player told them he wanted to go. The €50m condition has yet to be met and it appears that arguments about that could go on all summer, but the latter has already happened according to the player himself.

Otamendi hadn't wanted to talk about his transfer situation whilst with Argentina at the Copa America, but he was always going to be asked and it was always likely that something would slip. Therefore, Otamendi had been avoiding the press like the plague but when placed in front of an ESPN camera he said, according to the wonderfully namedDiego Lopez Gomez "I support the words of my agent and have told Salvo my intention."

Salvo? He's Valencia's CEO. The words of Otamendi's agent were clear to say the least, with Eugenio Lopez saying to SER Deportivos Radio in May "Nicolas is comfortable with the VCF and the fans but will have an option to improve his career. Jorge Mendes already knows that Nico wants to leave the VCF. Nico will do everything possible to get it... he will do everything possible to leave."

Asked if he'd spoken or would speak to Angel Di Maria about Real Madrid and Manchester United, Super Deporte have Otamendi as saying "Yes it's good, but there's nothing at the moment."

He went on to say he enjoys speaking to several of his Argentina teammates who he considers leaders, such as Lionel Messi and Carlos Tevez.

So, that's one condition of Valencia's met, a move to Manchester United is closer. Now just for the fifty million other conditions.
