Re: Eliaquim Mangala
Couldn't agree more.
Even some of our players who are almost worshipped can kick off, no point to bringing in an accident waiting to happen.

Havent seen enough of either to make an informed decision but in terms of attitude to joining us - if media reports can be believed we have a very clear winner.

Re: Eliaquim Mangala
Do we really think Kompany, Zabaleta, De Jong among others would have chosen us above Chelsea if they were interested as well when we signed them? Yet they turned out to be excellent committed players, while the former two still are for us. Same applies for Fernandinho/Aguero/Silva etc. if a team like Madrid went in for them when we did they wouldn't be playing for us. But they have also become excellent players for us who clearly love the club now. It's down to the players mentality/personality whether they will succeed, not about preferring to live in London rather than Manchester.

Re: Eliaquim Mangala
Madrid had a strong interest in both Silva and Aguero although the politics around Aguero made things difficult and Dave thought he was being messed around. Your comments about Kompany, Zaba and NDJ are moot, as at the time we signed them, they weren't close to Madrid level.

Re: Eliaquim Mangala
My boss used moot as an " I know better than you statement" however, in knew I was correct and have been proven so since. Its a shiity way of saying you know best. Unless you are sure, don't try and put people down with legal speak.
