Eliaquim Mangala

Get done for FFP then go on to spend more millions

Thing is they escaped some of this sanctions this time around - if they fail again they are proper fucked

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.

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.

£42m goodness me. Didn't he say he wanted to join us as well? Dodged a fucking bullet this summer.

mangala has all the physical tools

However, his head is lacking for a cb...

[OneMoSalah 8,776]

Remember when people said we should sign him because Cahill is shit? Mangala wouldn't even get a game for Bolton I don't think. Shockingly bad. 32M CB... well done Porto you shrewd bastards.

Couldnt get picked ahead of a one-legged Kompany

[Special Juan 27,424]

He's got a head full of WHAM music.....He's getting found out.

[didierforever 7,349]

[termninja 5,290]

Wham! has some pretty catchy songs, especially now since the 80s are coming back into vogue. More talented than Mangala.

[Spike 12,049]

Choose life.

Not exactly a rumor but... not a bad alternative if we can't get Koulibaly am I right???

Eliaquim Mangala leads Pep Guardiola's clearout as Manchester City boss looks to remove deadwood

Would you consider Mangala as an option, if we can't get Koulibaly from Napoli?

I don't care if he's good / bad, I'd take ANY defender right now!!

Because they took our reject and he is probably the best midfielder in the league

[Jype 6,398]

Would definitely take him, no doubt about that.

Hasn't been that good for City but can't be worse than our current lot and got a feeling Conte would make better use of him than Pellegrini did. 

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

No way they'd sell him to a direct rival. He is probably going to Italy on loan with an option to buy set at around £15-16m next summer.
