Transfer Rumour Eliaquim Mangala

[Kenshin]

It has been touched upon but if he can play in an allardyce defence and just be able to hold his ground and defend he could be a good signing for us. That being said city can't wait to get rid of him so got to question that.

To be honest I'll judge him here. He can't be as bad as Martina although not sure how mangala can cope with Martina next to him

He's left sided and strong. Decent aerially, but extremely suspect one on one. Pep almost had a seizure on the touchline watching him in the city game before Christmas. He makes way too many unforced errors.

It looks a signing of desperation.

..there’s a clip of him matching Lukaku for pace and power in a sprint towards the Gwladys St, where he accidentally stands on the ball and eventually comes away with it. Probably sums him up.

My main concern with City cast-offs is whether they maintain the ambition to play. Very wealthy, I fear the game isn’t important to them any more. If the deal happens it’ll be interesting to see if the game still matters to him. If it does, it might be ok.

I want Walsh’s head on a spike.

 

[Lanolin]

Go ed Quim.

MANGALA?! I know we need a centre half but this guy is absolute turd.

Otamendi till this season has been crap and stones hasn’t set the world alight since going there in my opinion and Laporte well time will tell with him. Different players for different managers. If he comes in an does a job I won’t be arguing and it’s only a loan so we can always give him back. I just don’t see why we as fans write players off before we have even got them on a pitch

I see him as being our Sakho like Palace did.

Very similar giraffe defender with a good hoof in him.

I Actually think he may be alright. At least we've got Captain Phil, Ash Willo and Iron Mike if it doesn't work out.

We’ve fallen for it again. Pep giving mangala huge praise during the press conference in a hope to ship him out and our eyes lit up. Another premier league failure who just isn’t up to it. Why do we go for these rejects?

Surely it means one of jags holgate williams funes or Keane is on the way out then

 

[mccole]

Allardyce In Talksport confirms getting a loan in and we have lost our defensive record so welcome Mangala

 

[bol-uk]

There were huge calls for a big grock.

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

THIIIIISS

He doesn't suit City style, he is not a ball player, he is however a lump and WILL suit sams boring, archaic style of hoofball down to the ground.

We were lower than his level when he joined. So he's infact improved us!

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Cuco Martina v2

Yay.

 

[fareastblue]

i loved it when Mangala was on the team sheet when we played MC.
Hes always the weak link then.

Oh man, and now we are taking him ><

To be fair, he did say they targeted his side because he was just finding his feet in the league.
