2024/25 Orel Mangala

[Nymzee]

I might be being a little tough on the physios, but how come he was sent back on when he was injured? Surely it was obvious his knee was gubbed??

You can sometimes not notice how bad your knee is with an ACL till afterwards. Lots of people hurt their knee and walk off and sit on the bench and have no idea they’ve done it.

We've had a few knee injuries do us over these past few years. Gbamin quad, Bolasie ACL, Mangala now. Doesn't seem to arrive with such frequency anywhere else.

Everton leading the way as per usual..........

That is a strange one..

 

[ToffeeTim]

Seems a strange one that.

With an ACL injury, he's unlikely to be fit for the start of next season. So not sure why he wouldn't return to his parent club.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

That is a strange one..

It’s strange from a Lyon perspective, he’s theirs in the summer anyway, why take over his rehab midway through? Pretty standard for them to go back, even if it’s still us covering his wages as agreed.

One guy cries to stay at Lyon, the other refuses to go back when his time is effectively up. Strange place.

I was playing basketball when I did mine, sat on the sidelines for 15 minutes and then got back in to play. Was fine until I tried to jump (or more accurately land), and then I knew something was very wrong.

He was at Goodison today. I thought he'd have gone home by now.

 

[Connor]

Hasn’t gone to France just yet

Hope were not thinking of buying him (or Broja).

Garner shows the difference in what we have already.

 

[Bedfordblue]

What’s the score with overseas loans, does his staying affect this Argentinian fella signing?

I'd have taken him on the cheap but definitely not now.

I’m all for obscure wonder kids I truly am. You won’t see me disagree with many of your targeted players.

However there has to be balance, a blend of seasoned players and world class potential talent.

Mangala played really well for us this season. If we could get him for a small fee then it’s truly a no brainer.
