£35m isn't really overpaying. Mangala went for £32m, Luiz for £50m, we could be doing a lot worse than pay £35m for Otamendi

It never fails to shock me every time I am reminded that David Luiz went for £50m, that is just pure feckery on PSG's part.
 
Mangala was closer to 40 or even more apparently.

I think Mangala had some sort of complicated 3rd party ownership which made his actual price over £40m....which is why it took so long for them to official reveal him.

I would take Otamendi for £35m any day of the week.
 
Looks like this one might be on!

Who else could be interested? Chelski?

I feel like we are gonna get this guy. CB from La Liga team of the season is a strong signing.
 
I know smallings improved recently.

However rojo wasnt too bad last season injuries hampered him really.. rojo and ottamendi seem to have a great understanding for the national side.. could that be the pairing??
 
He does I just see that covering each other etc. it tends to work well.. even rojo playing left back for us and otamendi beside.. might help with the gelling process

With the amount of time Luke Shaw spends injured.... Rojo at LB (with Otamendi beside him) is a real possibility.
 
This transfer will hopefully work two-fold, the top class CB we are desperate for, and a new local buddy for ADM to help him settle better and bring him back to his best. Could be like two new signings.

I'm hoping it inspires the rest of the squad to grow proper beards.
 
Some people just can't pull off a proper beard though, reckon Valdes, Fellaini, and maybe Herrera could grow a mean one.

ADM, and Januzaj have no chance.
What about this fella?

I wouldn't even mind paying £35million for this guy. A lot of La Liga experts and Journos are saying he has been the best or one of the best centre halves in la liga this season and pretty much all of them rate his defensive ability very highly. Him and Smalling could destroy teams on set pieces tbh.

I've been watching him in Copa America and he's been very good. Obviously brining down his price would be good, we will likely end up paying between £25-30million imo.

More likely Blackett at left back after the usual sniper sets aim on rojo , shaw and blind from the carrington perimeter fence 24 hours from the first game of the season .
 
With Di Maria & Rojo in the squad, is it worth Chelsea even thinking about this one - got to be favourites & Shaw, will have to start on the bench I afraid.

I don't see why Shaw has to start on the bench when he is our best LB by far
 
How tall is he? Whenever I have seen him on the pitch he has looked quite small for a defender. But it might just be me.

You're having a laugh mate. I doubt he's seen a razor in his life.

I reckon RVP might have a chance though. Mata definitely could and should've done it along time ago.
 
So is there any news on Otamendi or is this thread just a discussion on which United players can grow beards these days?
