Mangala will be superb in a back 3, him & Stones either side of Bonucci with 2 attacking wing backs could be the plan.

Maybe your right mate but I honestly believe if Stones and Bonucci arrive, Mangala would be the first out the door....and I think its concerns over Mangala that has pushed us into showing so much interest in players like Stones, Bonucci and Laporte....Pep needs our defenders to be able to control the game, just as much as the midfield and thats Mangala's biggest weakness...If we think Pelle's system showed up Mangala's weaknesses, then just wait until Pep asks him to put his foot on the ball and look up and do something with it...Mangala can be a good defender in the right system but sadly "Pep's system" will never be a good fit for him....just my opinion tho...

I agree...I don't really get the hate for mangala. I thought he played really well since he came back into the side after his last injury.

Hi mate...I dont think its "hate" for the player...I actually think he can be a good defender in the right system but asking him to fit into "Pep's system" is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole....it just not going to work! Rumours were we already tried to loan him out last summer when we signed Ota and we've shown serious interest in 3 CB's so far this year...clearly Pep/Txiki have the same concerns as some of the fans....its just whether we can find the replacements we need during the transfer window....

I find it strange that people know that there were "rumours" that he was to be loaned out last year. Where did we hear these rumours was someone listening at Txiki's door or did we read all the bullshit that the media and twitter spouted

Now I see that we have shown serious interest in 3 CB's where do people get this information are they raiding Pep's bins or once again are we reading all the bullshit that the media and twitter are spouting

When are people going to learn that City do not brief the press and that we are listening to to are the words of others. Now there could be a number of reasons why an agent might spout off to the press especially if he wants to get an uplift on a current contract for his client. Also clubs might want to let the world that player A is available provided a fee of Xm is paid

When are City fans going to learn that until a player is pictured holding a shirt with his name on it then not to believe anything

I have no issue with everyone speculating about who we might be interested in but please do not state that we are definitely showing interest in players based on what you have read in the media or twitter as we know 95% of this is bullshit made up to fill column inches

Wasn't so much talking about views on mangala on here so much but a lot of my blue mates can't stand Mangala. I think he has all the attributes athletically to become a fantastic player under pep....look how he transformed Boateng, Mangala seems to have more about him from what I've seen than Boateng had when he was at City.

Hi mate....yes you could be right but it was common knowledge on here last summer about Mangala turing down the loan move to Spain because he wanted to try and fight for a place in the squad and dont think any of us can question our "serious" interest in Stones, Laporte and Bonucci this summer...As City have done already this window....if the rumours about Bonucci/Stones were false, they have started leaking denials to the local press....I was expecting us to do the same when we first heard about Bonucci but City's silence seems to suggest this is more than just a rumour....

Sorry to go off topic....lets hope we hear some news on Peres soon!;)

City's silence is completely in character as they never say anything about who they are in talks with and they certainly do not deny or confirm any transfer speculation to do so would just create more bullshit

Who at City has discussed any interest in any players so yes I question it. Unless someone senior at City confirms our interest I call it bullshit. At the end of last transfer window I think City were "strongly" linked to about 50 players. If you throw enough shit at the wall eentually some of it will stick but if anyone thinks that City brief local outlets about transfers is living in the 60's and 70's

Deluded!!
 
Rumours so far

Paul Pogba
Luis Suarez
Toni Kroos
John Stones
Leroy Sane
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Gabriel Jesus
Aymeric Laporte
Leonardo Bonucci
Claudio Bravo
Bruno Peres
Geronimo Rulli
James Rodriguez
Ricardo Rodriguez
Thiago Alcantara
Victor Valdes
Ante Coric
Marlos Moreno

and this is not anywhere the full list

Either City are taking a scattergun appraoch to player recruitment or these rumours are bullshit you choose

I would point out some of those it was reported that City had offered the release clause... supposedly

All I am saying is not to believe 95% what you read in the media or twitter. These days most media reports are based on previous media reports based on some blog website mediawatch on F365 highlights how some of these rumours which are reported as facts can be based on some spurious websites it makes interesting reading

See that's a different stance (95%) to 'guarantee' that the city press officers categorically don't do stuff off the record, they do... I also agree regarding media outlets, they're saturated and full of tripe, this has become a consequence to sourcing as it's inevitably led to digital Chinese whispers, which has 100% killed the tabloid papers... I think it's also notable in peps first press conference however, that he alludes to the British press getting hold of info better than any country he's worked in, that again suggests leaks..... What happens with a seed is it eventually grows, there are 4 people on here who I know personally, with direct access to the info, unfortunately it gets diluted and people become needy as fuck, eventually 'he said 'she said' begins...

Anyway, like I said, you're entitled to your opinion bud!!

I never said guarantee I said 95% of what people read is bullshit therefore just because 20 outlets have a story does not make the story true

Anyway I am not hijacking this thread so all I would say I hope people dont base their opinion of what City are doing with this and any other transfer on what they read. Like you I am aware of a very small number of people who post stuff on this website in good faith who I trust when it comes to transfers

That said the small bits I have seen of Peres on youtube seem to highlight he is very pacy and I am think this is a huge point in his favour when it comes to Pep's way of playing his fullbacks so I can see why we might be interested we shall see

Mate....this is just how Txiki seems to work...did the same with Sterling last season...Txiki doesnt like paying the asking(which I'm not knocking for) and will only do so on his 3rd attempt....If its true that we just 2mil short, I would expect us to go back in for him with the asking after we've given them a week or two to think about it....I think Peres will be a city player but Txiki just playing the game..I find it frustrating but sadly, thats just the way it is....

You are probably right.
And highly annoying considering that we end up paying the asking price after all, eventually.

Haha very true! We'll haggle for a couple of weeks and end up paying the asking price anyway! ;-)
