Manchester City confirmed their third purchase this Thursday of the club's summer in 2015. The Argentine center-back Nicolas Otamendi has been bought from Valencia. Otamendi is a name that have been seen and heard all summer during the silly-season soap opera. Now it turns out that Otamendi instead choose light blue before red and thus he becomes a Manchester City player.
During the last season Manuel Pellegrini and Manchester City had big problems at back. The fans shouted for reinforcements, preferably at fullback as Kolarov and Sagna aren't youngsters anymore.
The executives negotiated a good deal and the other clubs that were interested Otamendi were set aside. Otamendi choose Manchester City and the expected transfer feet is 28.5 million pounds.
Otamendi was named one of La liga`s best central defenders last season. Manuel Pellegrini says he was the number one defender in La Liga last year. Nicolas Otamendi, who was born February 12, 1988 in Buenos Aires has previously played for Porto, which may be considered to be the club where he blossomed into a world class player.
With the purchase of Otamendi the competition gets significantly tougher for Manchester City's defenders. The club is currently sitting on Kompany, Mangala, Demichelis, Otamendi, and Denayer. Rumors say that Denayer is set to be loaned out, or, as it has been speculated in the media today, that Demichelis would move back to Argentina.

Match Report: Manchester City vs West Brom
This year's premiere was played at The Hawthorns where West Bromwich stood as the opposition. It was a fine first game. After total domination City was the victorious team with 3-0 as the scoreline when the referee blew the final whistle. The goals were scored by Yaya Toure and Vincent Kompany.
City supporters only had to wait eight minutes before the 1-0 goal was a fact. Navas found Yaya Toure, who just outside the penalty area fired a shot that might have/have not touched Silva and then the WBA central defender Dawson, to finally roll slowly into the goal behind a bewildered Myhill.
WBA parked bus รก la Tony Pulis and Mourinho. It is usually difficult to open up a tight defence but when Yaya Toure is on the right all bets are off. After 23 minutes, Bony laid the ball off to Yaya, who let off a curling shot that was bombed into the top corner behind a chance-less Myhill. 2-0 to City was a fact.
The last chance of the first half went to City and a fantastic Silva laid off a sharp through ball to an onrushing Kolarov who fired the ball over the goal.
The second half did not start unexpectedly with a goal scoring chance for City.
In the 58th minute the game was settled. From a corner kick delivered by Silva reached Kompany who headed the ball into the far corner for a 3-0 lead. They subsequent scenes when Kompany ran up to the happy City supporters behind the goal and celebrated already feel classic!
The last half hour was relatively uneventful as City was already winning and they kept WBA at bey. However, with three changes were made as Bony, Sterling and Yaya were substituted for Aguero, Nasri and Demichelis. However, Myhill finished the game with two fine saves after Aguero and Kolarov tested him in the final stages of the game.
Final Result: 3-0 Victory for City.
