Last season Demichelis and Mangala played together about 20 times and only lost about a couple of games out of the 20.
Demi was always talking to Mangala (what language it was in a don't know but it was noticeable), much more than Kompany did (who bollocked Mangala twice - West Ham away, Moscow away - like he did Nastasić a few years ago).
But that was last season. This is a new season and Kompany is the club captain so I'd imagine he will play and hopefully he's put last season behind him.
As for Deneayer he played in a low Chanpionship/Lg1 standard league and I don't think a great deal should be judged from that league. FL Cup will be coming up soon so let's play him in that and see how he does and go from there (I'd play him whether we play Chelsea or Chesterfield, let's get him in and see how he does in that comp, Wenger would).
