He will certainly replace Kolarov's diagonal passes.
So, who is it you have in mind?
Boateng won't come ;-)

Mangala is left footed and Danilo is genuinely two footed.
Yes Danilo is more technically gifted than Martinez. Martinez should not be anywhere near the current transfer list we have been acquiring.

So, going off that with Costa replaced by Morata, it comes down to whether we want a left sided cb that is physical for a handful of games or more technical which might benefit us more often. That's assuming Kompany is available regularly. To be honest I don't really know where I'm going with this just mulling it over in my head, what would be most useful for the squad.Our defence was bullied by both Lukaku and Costa last season off the top of my head, though they weren't headers more holding off defenders.

Well, end of the day Pep will stick to his philosophy of "10 midfielders" and that's why he is no Mangala fan.
There are not many though who would fit on that level.
@domalino has an idea I'd say.

Inigo Martinez, sorry.
He was like Laporte 3 years ago, but no one went for him, I think he'd be decent, especially if we could get him below his release clause.

I don't think Mangala is left footed, he's just almost as comfortable with his left as he is with his right.Mangala is left footed and Danilo is genuinely two footed.

He is left footed. But unfortunately for us he isn't comfortable with either foot.

Yet everytime he has the time he uses his right foot, even his relatively accurate long ball attempt, something he doesn't really do, against United the other day was executed with his right.
But yeah, anyway, his body shape and 'kicking style' or how to call it, isn't exactly compatible with our current demands (even though I think his vision for a CB and actual passing when he's got a bit of time and space is spot on).

Now, watched some vids and being quite impressed.
Question is why he never left San Sebastian being 26. Some big clubs thinking about him but no one signed him. Hm.
He is missing some height (1,81m /5ft11).
Maybe he is a much better candidate for DM?
Accurate passing, reads a game well, great long passes, good at steals/tackles, strong personality.
DM, does that make sense?
