Exactly he will play Lamptey when fit Pervis, Lamptey, Fati, Mitoma, Pedro, Ferguson is some mental attacking force

Any idea what is happening with Valentin?

Nope but, after much interest in him, there were reports that the player wants to stay at Boca and see out the rest of their season. There's nothing to prevent us or any other PL club signing him between now and January when the next window opens (pretty sure we got Facundo done between windows last year, but my memory might not be working), it's just that whoever buys him won't be able to include him in their squad list until January.

I’m sure that now that the window is closed we’ll look to get this one done on the quiet. Get him in for Jan.

Teamtalk is a shit site. Not worth reading
It quotes good sources this time though:
“According to ESPN (as cited by Bolavip and Sport Witness).”
However, the article is about him definitely leaving Boca, not about his choice of us or Citeh.

His club and agent would be alarmingly dumb to sell him direct to Citeh, sell him to us and if he is the real deal get a much better payment later on via a sell-on clause
Like most stuff, but still interesting from time to time. Passes the time if nothing else

If true, the boy (or more likely his agents) is a fool. We are the go to club for South American hyped up youngsters who want to play in the PL
Our scouting is so good that the big clubs are now seeing who we want and then hijacking the deals (Kendry Paez to Chelsea was another one like this). Hopefully some of the players we go after will realise coming to us first will be a better career path for them.

Us against the Champions of Europe. We’ve come a long way but bound to be beaten by the likes of City once in a while.

To be honest City youngsters who don't make the first team have had no problem moving on to other decent clubs and building careers in recent seasons. It's not a black hole for talent and I'm sure the payday for him is far better than what we can offer.
He'd get his chance here sooner, probably being slowly integrated this season with an eye to taking over following Pervis's inevitable sale. And at City there is already Lewis as the "up and coming" left back.
But if the kid backs himself to succeed I can see why he'd choose them for footballing reasons as well as monetary.
