Transfer window Round up

It was a silent deadline day for Manchester City with no business taking place in the final 24 hours of the transfer window. The last added signing to the squad was one of the greatest high profile transfers in the Premier League, with Kevin De Bruyne coming in from Wolfsburg.

The promising Turkish striker Enes Unal was the first player who got signed on the 6^th of July, just in time for the prospect to join the team in pre-season. He is now on loan at Genk.

Raheem Sterling was the first big signing in July and he was promptly followed to Manchester City by Fabian Delph who joined from Aston Villa a couple of days later.

Patrick Roberts was signed to City next from Championship side Fulham before Argentine defender Nicolas Otamendi brought in from Valencia on August 20^th.

James Milner and Micah Richards left City for Liverpool and Aston Villa respectively. Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic also left City for Roma and Inter on loan. Marcos Lopes joined Monaco, Jason Denayer was loaned to Galatasaray and Jose Angel Pozo signed for Almeria.

Nicolas Otamendi is a Citizen

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.
