Would piss off half of Europe too :)

Got to be Zaha.
I think it is Zaha, and it would be controversial. However he is only 21 and when you watch the youtube videos there is an extraordinary talent there. He simply needs to be nurtured in the right environment.

Don't read too much into his comments before the World Cup.
What's your take on the Mangala vs Benatia debate. Which one would you prefer?
You mean they don't look on BlueMoon and see what the fans think of them first? I'm shocked.tolmie's hairdoo said:Big Dave Watson said:tolmie's hairdoo said:Mangala still favourite.

I don't know enough about either of them, outside of what I have seen on the obligatory YouTube.
Benatia is primarily a right-sided defender who gravitates across to his natural side, so would come into Vinny's spaces.
For me, Vinny has that on lockdown, already, and we have Demichelis who can slot in if Komps is injured.
Mangala is purely left-sided and would probably also cover our problem behind left-back.
If it's a question of technique, then Benatia is more of a Vinny clone.
We don't need a Vinny clone just yet.
For potential, and price equivalent, Mangala may pay bigger dividends in the longer term.
City compile 100s of pages just to recruit youngsters, these days, even showing them and their parents how their style of play fits into the current first-team, on a video screen (impressive stuff).
If they are sure on Mangala, then we should be sure.

I ask because you opened with the dollar counting machine and to my knowledge that hasn't been explained yet. There was also quotes about taking risks, weddings and aisles, talking as fast we can and now we have music Video's for Neil Diamond and ABBA.
Call me stupid but the Garcia one was the only one I could figure out!
