Eliaquim Mangala - now official

Re: Eliaquim Mangala

He came over to Manchester and had a few chats a week ago. He probably signed a few contracts and had a medical too. There's no rush to sort this out so we've said, "Enjoy your holiday, we'll see you in a week or two."

He'll be back before the Community Shield.

Re: Eliaquim Mangala

Maybe the reason for delay is the fact that City have been busy with Lampard contract talks?

Actually I think the delay is because of negotiations with Robert Koren: http://www.goal.com/en-au/news/4019/transfer-zone/2014/07/24/4979972/city-tipped-to-swoop-for-koren

This caught my eye: "Manchester City's director of football Brian Marwood..." ???

Re: Eliaquim Mangala

I don't partake in the second hand info stuff but since everyone is getting involved, an American who attended the game yesterday told me two members of City's "athletic training staff" (coaches?) told him in the dinner suites that Mangala was already signed.

A week ago today, subject to a satisfactory medical.

Well, they don't seem to have done much else in the last 3 weeks....just trying to find away to cut them some slack for the lack of impact signings!;)
