Eliaquim Mangala - now official

Re: Eliaquim Mangala

Always wish we had Franco Di Santo playing for us instead of Tevez. And Henderson instead of Milner. World Cup selections always a good guide of the quality of a player.

Ladies, andy o brien kept dunne out of the irish team for far too long. So quit with the he can't get in the French team stance!!!

Remember when Tony Coton could not unseat Chris Woods as England's number 1 under Turnip .......

Re: Eliaquim Mangala

Not really flapping as I started off saying could it be possible. Seriously some of y'all are more on edge about flappers than those who are actually flapping.

Remy fails his medical, it's declared, deals off.

If Mangala failed his medical we'd do the same. So no, it's not possible.

So to suggest he could possibly have failed his medical but we're still keeping quiet and drawing comparisons over the length of discussions etc is flapping 101.

This deal is done, much like Fernando and Sagna whose deals took a good while to announce. Those anxious for an announcement will move on to wanting someone else within 24 hours of it.

Also, who types like that? (in bold)

People from Alabama and texas.

From nether, was a simple slip up with auto correct. I also edited my post to talk about a recent transfer of a youth player and how long it took for everything to be finalized as it's just now being reported he's with us.

Deschamps preferred Sahko to Koscielny also.

Re: Eliaquim Mangala

Porto's pre-season presentation was just now.

All players in their squad for this season were announced, including the ones who weren't physically present, eg Jackson Martinez who is on holiday from the World Cup.

No Mangala.

No Mangala.

Porto seem to have signed a few players very recently.

Could the stock exchange announcement be sooner rather than later.

Re: Eliaquim Mangala

To be honest Im pretty sure its us holding up this deal, why on earth would we start paying a player who is on holidays? Sagna was a different case as he wasn't under contract and would be free to speak to anyone, Zucillini, Willy and Fernando would be available for preseason which will help them get to know their new team mates and our style of play. Cant think of one reason why we would start paying his wages when he wont be available for afew weeks plus the 32mil will rack up abit of interest remaining in our account for an extra month. Pretty sure he will be heading to Manchester when his holidays are over.

Interestingly the FC Porto website have the player profile section, all the profiles carry an image of the player except Mangala, it has been removed, not long to wait now.
