Eliaquim Mangala

[pakito 17]

Papers are saying this transfer is taking so long because of 3rd party ownership or crap

That was from his medical which was a while ago. Strange that they've not signed him yet although I read his girlfriend isn't keen on living in Manchester so that might have stalled the deal.

Don't blame her.

Don't blame her.

...Why not?

City sign for 32m apparently, look a bit steep and I would prefer Benatia, Varane or Hummels when they become available in a couple of years when Terry leaves anyway.

Porto are saying they got 30m euros from the deal, when they only had 57.6 of Mangala' rights. It means City paid in total the absurd amount of 52m euros (42 in pounds).

Mangala is good and talented, but i hear a lot of claims about his defensive errors. Didnt played a minute in the WC also.

Well tbf with Koscielny in top form and Varane being a better CB, it was always hard for him. Also Sakho is prefered by Deschamp for some reason. He is the future though along with Varane.

Between the Luiz transfer and this it's madness.

Time will tell but I would not make conclusions on him based on not featuring in the WC. Sakho and Varane started over Koscielny even though Koscielny had a better season than both. Luis was not called up to the Brazil squad quite astonishingly. Sometimes managers have their own preferences. The price is way OTT but it was an area City felt needed strengthening and because of his age and early reports they paid a large amount for him. Same way Willian is not worth £30m but Jose felt his addition was needed for the team.
