And Otamendi
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Otamendi was used as a make weight deal for Negredo when Valencia could not stump up the cash.

Neither were signed since Pep joined though so he didn’t forget either.

Oh.....misread the post then.

Like I said Ake was forgotten about.

A £45m signing that can be overlooked just puts into context the vastness of city’s spending.

why does every single discussion about city end up as one about money?

i mean, we all know they've spent a bit, but christ it's dull, even if all the wannabe accountants on here are actual accountants.

Forgot about Ake because his transfer wasn’t on transferleague for some reason. Neither is Ruben Dias’ which I also forgot to list

This was the OP..

“What a buy at the reported £58 million. Just 23 and already a Rolls Royce of a defender. Slotted in seamlessly in a new league and country.

To think Napoli were trying to squeeze City to pay £90 million for the soon to be 30 Koulibaly.“

It is about what they spent. So no ending up as money it started off as such.

Cancelo - £60m
Angelino - £5.35m
Ederson - £35m
Walker - £45m
Danilo - £26.5m
Steffen - £7m
Mendy - £52m
Laporte - £57m
Zinchenko - £1.7m
Bravo - £17m
Stones - £47.5m

All Pep signings. With hindsight how many of these players can you say were poor signings or not worth the money paid. Only really Mendy and Bravo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I’d agree with that sentiment. Mendy, we never really got to see the player we signed due to his injury.

Aside from Bravo, the other thing with those signings is the longevity we’ll get from them. There’s only the two you say that didn’t represent value for money for me.

No, the article is about how good a buy Reuben is and that City dodged a bullet in passing on Koulibaly.

Him only being 23 and having that level of authority already is one of the most pleasing things.

I’ve always had doubts about Begiristain but it does look like this one was spot on.
