Don't think we need him at all.

We really need a WC midfielder if we are going to get going in Europe. Yaya, Delph and Dinho is not going to cut it. I can understand the thinking after VK and Mangala were so poor last year but I'd drop it right now.

I really think if we buy a quality central midfilder, we will be genuine contender for Champions League.
 
Anyone else think Hart's pep talk to Mangala was a bit odd, maybe it was something along the line of "make sure you go on loan with the fans remembering how good you are"

Haha, petty and



a hippocrite then...

I don't think bringing a defender with no PL experience and letting one we're just starting to bed, is a good move. You think Otamendi is an upgrade, i'll go with a strange risk at best. Thats my opinion, which being a forum, is full of them.

Don't know why you seem to have such an issue with me saying that.

Probably because you seem so pissed off with both Otamendi & the club for having the audacity to do the deal.

No, I thought Hart was pretty clearly telling him to keep the game in front of him.

Spanish journalist Gulliem Balague has tweeted thatManchester City have wrapped up a deal for Valenciadefender Nicolas Otamendi.

The Argentine centre-back was heavily linked with a move to city rivals Manchester United during the summer.

However, Balague claims that the Citizens have beaten the Red Devils to the signature of the 27-year-old after having a €40m (£28.4m) offer accepted by Los Che, with the transfer being officially confirmed on Monday.

It is reported that Eliaquim Mangala, who joined City from Porto last summer, will join the Spanish giants on a season-long loan as part of the deal.

Balague has also suggested that Real Madrid were willing to pay Otamendi's €50m release clause, if Sergio Ramos had left the club during the close season.



Tomorrow all confirmed: Otamendi to City for €40m and Mangala on loan. Real Madrid would have paid €50m buy out clause if Ramos had gone

Complete bollocks as usual from ballbag. Real Madrid couldn't get Otamendi even if Ramos had left because they are at their limit for non-EU players. It was a non starter.

Follow that up with the bullshit about Mangala going against everything Ric said and several journos who just left the etihad have also said Mangala isn't leaving.

So 0/10 for that fucking idiot yet again. To be honest him confirming its a done deal makes me think we might not actually sign him!
 
Talking of pep talks I loved how Mangala jumped in to protect Fernandinho today and also talked down a seething Humphreys. Shows he is smart and friendly.

I've no problem with the deal in isolation.

But if you look at MDM and Mangala, they both took time to settle.

Nastastic and Savic, were both sold (understandably), imo, early... with Savic now earning a move to Atletico.

If feels like we haven't learnt from our lessons, and there's every chance, if Mangala is part of the deal, we have to do the same thing all over again.

Said the same thing to my mate, loved how he made sure he was between Ferna and Costa.
 
I cannot believe, ffs this cannot happen. Bringing in 27 year old defender for that money who has had 1 great season to brand new league/team and loaning out young CB who has been looking superb, plus we also have MDB, Denayer, Kompany wtf is going on. This is like buying Bony all over, completely useless signing when we had Dzeko/Jovetic/Agueroo
 
I think bringing this guy in is a good move but sending mangala the other way isn't! I think mangala still has a lot to prove but we paid 32mil for him and he needs a run of games. If we are moving anyone on it should be mdm. He has been great for us but is past his best. Loan mangala now and we destroy any chance of him becoming a player for us. His confidence must be low as it is given these rumours on the back of one of his best performances. Plus it is like txixi admitting he dropped a bollock with his signing and apparently that never happens! If mangala goes on loan if be seriously questioning txixi and his business.

I was thinking the very same thing. It seems that the rumours of Otamendi in and Mangala out on loan is happening.
