Eliaquim Mangala

Recommended Posts

Agree completely, Choulo. He's normally dependable but for the past two seasons he's been on a gradual downward slope (still shaking my head at that 93rd min blunder he made in the Europe league final). Perhaps he's found it difficult to adjust to the new formation, who knows. But I can't imagine that at 29, he'll improve much next season. I love brana and he's been among my favourite players but I think that if we don't replace him now, then we run the risk of falling back into old habits of failing to clear out "deadwood".

Plus he is highly rated by most football fans (I found this out when doing opposition views) so we should be able to get a decent fee for him now. His price will drop significantly when he reaches 30-31 though.

How players are rated by most football fans matters very little.

French press reporting that City is preparing a 45m euros bid

Fuck thats expensive waaaaaaaaaaay too much. He is worth 15 to 20m but he really is a quality defender.

Mangala and Kompany would be beast. But City don't understand it's not just about quality.

40m? Porto can f*** right off!

No, they can not. His release clause is set at 40m. If they maintain at 40m, either you pay or you are twirling your thumbs.

However, one thing may work for Chelsea. The same agent represents him as Jose.

Or we can go for one of the many highly rated CB prospects for half that price or, god forbid, we can give one of our own highly rated CB prospects, namely Kalas and Omerou, a chance.

Yes, Chelsea can do that. However, you are getting just a half the player of Mangala.

Mangala is considered as a long term replacement for JT. His physical attributes are irreplaceable & no Kalas or Omerou are even close to it. I agree at 40m way too much, but what´s too much for Roman ?

That's very much debatable. They're all good young players and there is absolutely no guarantee who will become the better player.

Point is, we are not in any way desperate enough to pay 40m for him.

They might be good young players, but not at Mangala´s level. See if you can Google him.

I don´t believe, it´s a matter of being desperate. It´s more like an opportunity at the right time. Now or he goes to the opposition.

Trust me, plenty of clubs will try to get him.

I doubt too many clubs will be rushing to pay 40m for him.

Anyway, it's all speculation, and by the mirror as well, so we have no idea if that is actually what Porto are asking for or not.

Believe me, PSG, Monaco, Citeh will be looking into it in a flash.

Everything in here is a speculation. Wishful line-ups, where any player should be playing, whom should Chelsea buy...some say, just regular gossip columns, on & on.
