Fonte has just handed in a transfer request - great opportunity we should be all over that

Not for me.At 33 too old and will cost a fortune in wages/fees.Everton bound imo.

Skybet thinks rags are more likely. He's 10/1 to join Everton and 2/1 to join the rags.

I think Mangala's best game for us was against Chelsea last season, he kept that dirty, cheating gobshite quiet for the whole game.

I actually think he's better than Otamendi, who still just dives in and spends too much time sat on his arse as yet another forward takes the ball past him.

My dad tells me of a player of whom it was said "Either the ball gets past him, or the man, but never both together." That's the kind of centre back we need, especially to deal with pricks like Costa. Stand up to him, niggle at him, stand on his toes at corners, whisper things about his mum or his mrs to him, he'll get himself sent off sooner rather than later, easy.

have to disagree on both points. Mangala was more an athlete than a footballer and treated the ball like a hot potato. Ota has (IMO) calmed down significantly this season and in my book is our best CB by far

Don't you think he would have only done that if he had somewhere else lined up?

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

Fonte would add to our squad.

 

[BlueDeadHead]

Fonte would add AGE to our squad.

We need a LB more than a CB imo
