Transfer Rumour Eliaquim Mangala

[Tramps_mate]

Hearing he has signed. Loan until the end of the season.

Who has?

Would give us the type of pace and power in the back line we haven’t had since Distin first joined.

I’m predicting sent off against Arsenal for snapping Aubaggaumayvng in half during the first 10 mins

Go on Ernie lad

Really hope he does well, was poor at City be good for me to be wrong on this one as we need to improve at the back.

I see that you have been infracted for saying this as you should be.

Correct grammar is not a joke and should not be trivialised in any way you flumping marshmallow.

I had one of those days in the office. Just felt like being a wum. Also, found the gif entertaining and just wanted to post it. 9/10 gifs I post here are cat related so I thought I'd mix it up a bit. Wasn't worth the warning though!

BBC pundit Phil Neville on Match of the Day
"Mangala had a poor day. Considering how well he played against Diego Costa last week, I was expecting more from him. For the first goal, he just gets himself in totally the wrong position and the second goal was a certain penalty. He gets himself too tight to Hernandez and it's a clumsy tackle. He's quite ungainly at times when he's on the ball. This taught him a lesson about the Premier League, that there's no easy games."

Don't tell me Phil Neville is xenophobic too!

I mean, it's there in your own post...

Great signing, considering.

Been chatting with City fans. Apparently he played very well against PSG in the Champions League last year. At centre back

So at CB he should be fine. I've not spoken to one City fan who rates him as an LB yet, and they've seen him more than we have, so take that as you will

Yes, but...

At centre-half, Nicolas Otamendi and Eliaquim Mangala had kept just three clean sheets in 17 previous games together this season, and one of those was the 17 minutes they played together against Dynamo Kiev in the last 16.

But between them they barely gave Ibrahimovic a sniff of goal in open play and nullified PSG's main threat until he finally found the net just before the final whistle. Sadly for the enigmatic Sweden striker, the offside flag had long since been raised.

And that was April 2016.

On loan, is there any buy option in that? Thinking aloud if he was decent and only 26, coupled with Keane and Holgate we could have a solid CB grouping for a few years to come.

I keep on thinking Distin would have been a club "legend" if he joined 5 years earlier. Always loved him until, you know, he went to bits.

His legs literally fell off.

Him and Jags were odd. Both of them looked great next to any other partner but together they always looked like they had an error in them. Think the 2-2 at home to Newcastle in one of Moyes’ last seasons did it for me with those two and Howard. We’d absolutely battered them and got undone by a long ball that bounced between them in the last minute.
