Disco Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 It would only make sense signing Otamendi if we were selling Coloccini and we won't get more him than Otamendi would cost so it's obviously bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 It would only make sense signing Otamendi if we were selling Coloccini and we won't get more him than Otamendi would cost so it's obviously bollocks. You'd imagine if we were going for someone like him it'd be to play alongside rather than replace him? Think one of our selling points to an Argentinian player would be him & Jonas being here, otherwise I couldn't see him having the slightest interest.

Disco Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Aye I know Dave but thought I'd stick me oar in regardless. Chris, Fab and Otamendi IMO are too similar to play together in English football. Too much the classic the Latin American defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Well if we did end up with all 3, I'd be gutted if we didn't see Maradona at SJP on a few occasions this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Does anybody reckon if we did go for any Argentinean/Spanish speaking players having the amigos on board would actually have an influence towards them joining us? Probably would make a minimul difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably would make a minimul difference. I'd have thought it would only be a selling point if you were in for a player with a club that didn't have this. Hence why its best to buy players from (extremely) foreign countries in pairs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Isn't AC Milan agreed to sign Otamendi for 10m before World Cup? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Djarlo of sporting just scored a good header against Man city Well that's our hopes gone as Man city meet sportings £5m, sorry we meant £18m asking price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 If we got Ben Arfa i would take vacation and wank for à week. I really really want him at the toon, would be a massive hit i think. Btw, Djalo scored both goals against City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I'd imagine he's in with a shout of making the next France squad anyway since Blanc has already said he won't be naming any of the 23 selected for the World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Probably will be, he made the provisional 30 at the World Cup, only to be cut. He's got 7 caps aswell. He'll go to Werder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Highly likely he'll be off to Bremen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Yup - us or Bremem is a no-brainer for him really. Germany it is unfortunately (if true) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 The only thing that could swing it would be that he'd be basically guaranteed a start here. We won't be able to compete on wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Equipe reckons Galatasaray are interested but he doesn't want to go to Turkey, and Wolfsburg are interested too. Nailed on to be Werder though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Best not to get our hopes up. If Hughton has been in for him though, it's still pleasing that he's actually trying to sign top quality players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
