He does have pro's I cant even deny that, he looked quality for Porto... In Portugal.

In this league he has looked beyond crap tho... People doing a comparison with Sakho, Sakho still showed signs of the good defender he was at PSG at the RS, but their defensive flu contaminated him... Mangala has shown nothing, or very little, to suggest this is going to be anything more then a huge mistake.

Aye we'll see.

Sam likes to have a quick player at the back though so clearly this is his way of doing it. I can't even say we don't need it because we do - all of our defenders bar Holgate look like they're running through mud - but clearly it's not the quality we'd desire.

That being said I do think we as a fanbase have to just accept where we're currently at, get behind the bunch of sh*thouse managers and coaches (yes, I'm including Dunc) for the rest of the season and hope that we don't get sucked into the scrap proper.

The summer needs a huge clear out, and Walsh and Sam should be the first two out of the door.
 
Don't know much about him but can't be worse than Keane, Jagielka or Williams, so welcome Mangala lad. Find it outrageous that the board and management have essentially said they're happy to have Martina as our first and only left back for an entire half a season. Absolutely diabolical.
 
Mangala has played left back before. So he'll be used in a back four, or a back three when required. Shut out a bit at City but a very good defender. 'Better than what we've got' definitely.

I just cant bring myself to do it Toff, I will happily support the team, but the absolute beauts we have in charge of our club will not get my support... Sam and Walsh need to be removed.

I wont hold my breath - I think they will be here for AT LEAST another season.

I held my hands up at the time and said Sam will be the death of the club for me, especially if it was anything longer then a quick fix, I have 0 enjoyment out of EFC at the moment and listening to anything Sam says just kills me a little more inside.

Sam is going to oversee us well and truly pulled back in it, I have absolutely no doubt about that...

On topic, Mangala is a woeful signing imo - surely the club and recruitment could have been more imaginative then this.

Our recruitment hasn't been imaginative since Moyes was here.

I am longing for the days of us plucking players from clubs rather cheaply and turning them into real top players... Pienaar, Arteta, Baines, Stones, Coleman, Cahill. All for less than 20m combined.

To put that into context, all of those players, or 2/3 of a Yannick Bolasie, or less than 1/2 of a Sigurdsson. Shambles we've become.

Look at what we've done the last 3 seasons. What world beaters are going to sign? I know money has a big part of it but potential players looking in from the outside would want to see a club who hasn't just burnt through 3 managers. Stability is what's needed. Maybe that will come with manager number 4. Or is it 5?

Next one is NO 5 since Mosh took over
To be fair we all ( except one ) wanted Martinez out
We were in the main happy with Koeman
We all then wanted Koeman out
Unsworth never cut it at this level
Sam is a stopgap
Welcome Diego in the summer
 
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
