Re: Eliaquim Mangala
Lets not cut our nose off to spite our face.
If Fernando wants to come I would love for City to tell Porto to fook off and we sign him on a pre-contract to come in the summer on a free but I think he would add real value to our squad and be invaluable for the second half of the season if we bring him in now!
Sounds like there's been a bit of stand off between Porto and City, Porto won't be happen losing their best players so will stand their corner!!

These things happen, but for me, to give us a stronger position for all the competitions that we are still in, I'd have thought we'd try to bust more of a gut to get at at least one signing to give the squad a bit more fresh blood and a positive lift.

Re: Eliaquim Mangala
Is this the same muen that said a couple of hours ago that they were both on a private City jet on the way from Portugal to Manchester? They knew nothing then and they know nothing now.
Even if true then regarding Fenando lets get him on a free in the summer. Re Mangala £38M is an awful lot for someone who is 22 and has only managed 1 cap.
(and you never know, City may be using the muen to play hardball back at Porto with 7 hours left in the window)

Re: Eliaquim Mangala
Yes nice to get all excited for a bit but look at it in the cold light of day and the fee was too high with FFP to consider. Obviously the third party interest didn't help too. We can go back in the summer if we want to and maybe the player himself will be more interested in coming. Would have taken him time to settle into the PL style anyway so wouldn't have seen the best of him till next season.
