I will say this, if we could get Conte in, then a 3-4-3 with Mangala on the left hand side of the back 3 could be the way to go

Lookman, Tosun, Walcott
Sigurdsson, Rooney, Gana, Vlasic
Mangala, Keane, Holgate
Pickford
lol WHAT

3 at the back with no wing backs? No team has ever done that

Might work in your career mode but try that in the Prem and we'd get relegated with a -400 goal difference
 
I don't get this "City fans don't rate him at LB". The alternative is literally THE worst player in the Premier League. All he has to do is NOT be THE worst player in the Premier League and we've improved.

I think the issue is more that Steve Walsh failed to find a single actual left back in the entirety of global football, so we're now forced to play a player out of position

I think most of us would have been happy to have Mangala ALONG WITH an actual left back as well. But we've just got him on his own, hence why some people are perturbed. Not his fault like, and if plays at CB I'm sure he'll impress

Please disregard

I still think we can do 3-4-3 though, and we should defo throw money at Conte if he becomes available
 
I think a positive of bringing in Mangala, is that even of he is played at Centre half (as I personally think he will be), the fact that he is very quick will mean he can cover for Martina’s brain farts. Our biggest issue with Martina is that when he does mess up, our centre halves are too slow to cover for him.

I would also like to point out to those accusing him of being a hoofball merchant that we did have a footballing centre half just recently and the crowd largely turned gangster on him? Perhaps a ‘get-rid centre half’ who does indeed ‘get rid’ might be just the tonic we need. The fact that he is very tall also gives me hope that he may not pee his knickers every time a cross comes into the box?

If he becomes available Mikey I think he'll be back to Italy, regardless of the money.

Milan could offer him just as much as us and I know - if I were him - where I'd rather go :)
