Him and Otamendi together or him and Stones would give me nightmares. We'd certainly be relying on the front six on those occasions.
 
I guess it's better than buying an average CB like Gibson for 20m+. But if Mangala stays, it's because we couldn't find any takers. And/or there aren't very good options in the market. So can't say i'm happy about it.

Indeed, nothing to be happy about. Mangala doesn't fit Pep's concepts at all and will be out next summer anyway. Hopefully, with Otamendi. Seems like we haven't any budget left for a good CB.
Gibson? If we really plan to stick to 3ATB, LCB should have fullback qualities, i.e. be very mobile and explosive. Gibson looks very slow from small bits that I've seen from him.

Would be very happy to see him stay. Better footballer than most on here believe. Much better athlete than some on here seem to think. Biggest struggle for him has always been confidence. He's a little anxious at times but has all of the talent

I agree about the confidence thing. Which is why he needs to be playing for a manager who believes in him and will play him regularly.
 
He doesn't fit into Pep's system. Fuck. I guess this mean there is no chance for Tosin to stay. Guess a loan would be best anyway.
