Transfer Rumour Eliaquim Mangala

[Stuartisitc1878]

In the plight we are in you take what you can get. He's certainly not a brilliant player but one that could be an all right short-term solution.

not being deemed good enough for City isn't the end of the world. He appears to have done really well at Valencia on loan and he's better than anything we currently have (hopefully). This could be a good move for us and him.

I've spoken to 3 city fans today, all 3 laughed when i said about playing him LB. Is it possible we're going to try 3 at the back instead? They found it hilarious that we'd trust him at LB.

That’s the way I see it. 3 central defenders with Mangala the left centre back. Allows us to play Garbutt, as wing back, without so much pressure on him defensively and also bring Coleman in as right wing back, with all his qualities. Plus Walcott can move more central and we only need to have one holding midfielder. Would look a lot more balanced.

he can't be any worse than Martina but then niether can a wheelie-bin

I have four wheelie bins in my drive way. From now on in, I am going to think of them as our back 4. Baines is the blue one with a wonky wheel, Williams is the green one with mold growing on him. Jags is the nondescript brown bin, and Cuco is the black bin that is for the dog sh** and useless things that can't be recycled.

This is the guy who I thought was an absolute disaster waiting to happen when he first signed for City. Not impressed with this one, even if he is left footed.

WE need a left back and Sam signs another Center half to go with the crap ones we already have. This is on par with Koeman we need a striker and signs number 10s. This clubs a joke

Freeze! Grammar police!! This club's a joke!! Notice the apostrophe mother clucker!!

 

[BernieH]

Upgrade from Williams and Jags. But in the Sakho mode for me. Bit of a head case who switches off and thinks he can play football on the floor when he can't.

I would rather have jags than this guy, going on what I have witnessed for City, if he can regain some of his form from Porto, he may well do ok, I don't think he'll be a good signing though, panic buy.

Well I’ve spoken to two city fans at work and both say as a defender, he is more than capable.

But ask him to be a ball playing centre back and you’ve got problems.

Good for you. Also, you forgot a full stop.

Thankfully the ability to play football isn't a stick we seem to measure any of our starting 11 by anyway so he should be just fine

lol

 

[Dymak]

Good loan imo.

 

[Berenger]

Out of his depth in a Guardiola team but more than good enough for us. Closest thing to Distin and Lescott we’ll have had since they left. So a massive upgrade on what we have.
