Transfer Rumour Eliaquim Mangala

[sageyefc]

He's an upgrade on Jagielka in the sense that he's got functioning limbs and no beer gut.

In that case I'm an upgrade, sign me up

 

[Encoder]

My only real memory of him is him destroying Eto'o with a flying ninja kick and getting neither a penalty or a red card (iirc) cheers marriner

 

[Tramps_mate]

He's better than what we currently have, so...

Yeeeeerrsss!!!

You can have the captaincy too.

 

[kenada_blue]

It's only a loan anyway what's everyone whinging about.

Is it?

Prefer we bought him because he's a massive upgrade to what we have.

 

[GwladysBlue]

I didn’t know Mangala was a left-back [sarcasm]

 

[Manx Blue]

There were huge calls for a big grock.

Well here he comes (if we get it over the line).

 

[Encoder]

Can't wait till we announce him 1-0 down later

 

[Furey1878]

He’s quick isn’t he?

Looking for positives here

 

[Milkman]

Have you actually watched him play in this league?

Yes mate, quite a few times actually. Even at the game and everything. He's a good defender, but don't let me stop you from writing him off before we've even signed him.

lol lol lol lol lol lol

He's worse than distin was in his final season

 

[dublinbluenose]

He will only be required to hoof it out of defense so he will be fine. He's a reasonably decent centre half.

 

[Eggs]

Holgate/Keane - Mangala/Funes Mori

It'll do.

..yep, I thought he might provide the support that Keane needs. Only time will tell. Be interesting to see him with Holgate.

That's probably fair. Most of his errors I've seen have came from him being atrocious on the ball in Guardiolas system so in a talentless hoofball team of yard dogs, he might look solid.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

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.

well Mangala the footballer freestyler, that might be more to do with the current city manager and the way he likes his team's to play to football the bathalona way ( phenomenal), fine if you have infinite monies over many seasons and given time....
