Capoue has been decent enough out there tonight too.

Chelsea are also reportedly confident of completing a £12m deal for Porto's defender, Eliaquim Mangala.

Not gonna happen.

[Leif 6,006]

£12m!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!? I think i'd have a heart attack if that happened. Worth double.

porto and 12 m pounds...good joke

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Don't need him. We got Iva, Luiz, JT, Cahill and Kalas, best defender in Eredivise. Look at the current CL-winner's defence, Dante - Boateng is hardly worldlcass and waaay worse than Iva-Luiz. We might be a bit spoiled, having had the best defense in Europe for years, but with the players we got we are set up nicely. We conceded the second least goals in the league so far. Only real and Real got better defense and still both got slashed by Dortmund. With all this high line and shit, defense is more about tactics and fitting players and most of our defenders are experienced, fast and skilled so they can play any concept Mou wants. I am sure, Jose himself will see we got the necessary resources in that department already.

12m for Mangala and 15m for Boateng...give Gourlay a new contract

[mannyfreshh 164]

I hope we get this guy .. He's strong, tall, fast and young! A lot of sites are saying that he's chelsea bound so I hope the special one can sign him up.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Wait, we are about to buy someone for Porto an they are not demanding at least £203,564,143? I must be in some alternative reality.

[Rmpr 8,977]

He will have a great test against Brazil today!

As I have already stated, I have high hopes for this guy, I honest believe he has the potential to be one of the best in the world (specially under Jose Mourinho). 12mi pounds is a steal...

Mangala + Luiz might turn out to be the best duo in Europe!!!

EDIT: He is not playing!

Where did this 12m figure come from?

[Hutcho 8,443]

Where did this 12m figure come from?

A 14 year old on twatter probably.

A 14 year old on twatter probably.

I very much doubt Liquidator wrote this!

Joshua guilavogui looks class.. Jose should make cheeky bid for him.. I'm watching France vs brasil and I don't see mangala??
