Otamendi would cost £35 Million. Ramos £5-10 Million more.

It's an absolute no brainer who we should opt for. The proven world class CB with bags of top level experience who can come in and help stabilise our shaky defence. Not to mention be a leader back there like he has been for Spain and Madrid for hundreds of games.

Otamendi is good but who gives a feck about another few million. Not the time to be penny pinching now is it...

And he won't ask to be transferred to Madrid, unlike Otamendi.
 
Stand by what I said.

No chance he'd go to United and flop or anything like that, but muppets expecting him to become this unbelievable, stone wall of a CB are going to be in for disappointment. He's still going to be one of the best defenders in the league. He'll also make some mind boggling decisions and have some hilarious errors leading to goals and stupid bookings.

To be fair, when was the last time we had a defender who *didn't* make some mind boggling decisions, etc. I'm including Rio, Vidic, Pat. At the very least he's better than any defender we have currently.
 
Totally agree with the sentiment but I just don't think we have time to wait for him. We need to seriously up our performances to contend in in champions league and league so carrying passengers for another season isn't really an option IMO.
If he can recapture his form we'll have one hell of a player on hand. I'd like to give him the benefit of doubt of another season considering he's a proven class player who's been playing at top level for many years.
 
Telegraph called it 10 days ago, wait and see if they're right I suppose. Also, wait and see if some of these people have a change of heart :lol: (except Orc, unless he's back supporting us again :D).

I still think he is very overrated. Much rather ottamendi.

If ramos signs I will of course support him and hope he proves me wrong..
 
I'll be happy with Ramos or Otamendi then we can move on to other targets. I'm surprised we're not in for Clyne when he is rumoured to be available for £12.5m. I'm really not sure which RB we're in for.

Not sure about the Schneiderlin rumours. I reckon it's Arsenal that he is close to signing for but if it us then it's another position filled. I can't see us signing Bastian & Schneiderlin, I think it's one or the other.
 
They'd probably play him in the position where he was one of the best players in the world just a season and a half ago
 
I had heard there was a clause we couldn't sell Di Maria to Barcelona, so that might be where they came up with the idea of Real Madrid getting some money if he ended up at Barcelona.
 
Why on earth would we willingly sell one of our few players with a claim to being world class after a stop-start, injury heavy first-season in which he still did pretty well to begin with.

Mental....
 
Can't see where they'd play him. They have Neymar, Messi and racist occupying front 3 positions.

The idea would be too play him in the midfield, imo. Barca are a more direct team under Enrique; Di Maria on the left of the midfield three would suit them with Neymar cutting in.
 
Who's (ondo cero)? Apparently they are very reliable and they're claiming Otamendi to United is a done deal.
