>Pellegrini was so desperate to sign Martin Demichelis for Man City in 2013 that he actually bought Toby Alderweireld for Atletico as a replacement
You just can't make this shit up.
Demi has been shit but he has literally been no worse than the media's favourite Kompany.
That whole transfer saga was retarded. If I remember correctly, Demichelis couldn't even play the first half of the season. City is honestly so bad in the transfer market. Why sell negredo after not even half a season of poor form? Why sell dzeko? Why buy fucking Mongala or Bony? Why not sell Jesus Navas when all he fucking does is run? Why Fabian delph or sterling? They could've filled the English quota with shitters from the championship and end up with the same results for significantly less money

you haven't watched any of the games, have you?
>>66379772
Enough to know that Kompany is atrocious, literally Koscielny tier.
A brain dead, rash, error making, no positional sense fraud.
other than being exposed against barca and some pace babbies, and dying of old age atm, demichelis has been pretty good for city
>>66379794
other than being shit constantly he's been pretty good is what you just said
>>66379794
>letting an 18 year old in his fifth pro game score on you in a 1on1
Just no
>>66379845
That 18 year old is as good as Messi.
>>66379778
Difference is koscielny is quiet as fuck while kompany is a leader
So they could've had the best defender in the Premier League? Instead they end up with Mangala?
>>66379755
Negredo was good for like half a season. And then that shoulder injury wrecked him.
>>66380270
he was really good though, he scored 23 goals and gave 7 assists in the first half of the season. Then, for whatever reason, simply stopped after january and started to play less and less and has been shit ever since
Demichelis has been better than Otamendi this season, I've been shocked at how poor Otamendi has been and his continual seeming complete lack of understanding of when to hold a line and when yo step up
He gives away decent chances to the opposing team at an alarming rate every time I watch him and I've seen quite a few of his games this season

>expecting leliga defenders to cut it in the PL
>>66379702
I've read this post 20 times and I still don't understand what you are trying to say
>>66379755
>Negredo
Look at his performances at Valencia and you'll see he's been a great, great, GREAT sell.
>>66379702
What does Pellegrini have to do with Alderweireld?
What the fuck?
>>66379734
The "Kompany is shit" meme is dead, we're on the "Kompany is good but permaded" meme now
We make jokes about poop all the time but he doesn't do retarded shit like this. Upgrade imo

Atlético used the money City paid them for Demichelis to buy Toby, but it's not like the Dutch made an impact in the one year he was there.
>>66381503
Ooooooohhhh
Also Toby's Belgian.
>>66379702
What are you talking about? When was Pellegrini at Atletico?
>>66381516
Derp, forgot about that detail.
>>66379734
Yeah it's just a massive coincidence m8
>>66381464
>>66381503
It wasn't even them using the money, City literally bought Alderweireld for them, and there was controversy over whether City would be entitled to his services at the end of the season.
In the end, City didn't get him, they got Demichelis and Mangala.
>>66379755
Negredo was sold because his wife wanted to go back to Spain iirc.
>>66381584
Man city have only played 14 games?
>>66379812
kek
also never seen jamaica on here
>>66381584
that is very old
remember Spurs beating them at the Etihad after their lord and saviour Kompany finally came back into the side
>I don't rate Kompany
>>66381584
That was literally his only good run of form in about two years.
>>66383259
That's out of date. Liverpool and Spurs beat them with Kompany in the side. The only PL game they won with him was AV.
