Re: Eliaquim Mangala

Zouma hasn't even nailed down a first team place at Saint Ettiene yet has he? He's a long way behind Mangala in his development, so it's not surprising he'd cost half as much
 
Re: Eliaquim Mangala

Don't get me wrong btw I'm not saying zoumas better than mangala, just saying 29mill was a bit too much but having read some of the posts on here I've changed my mind and think it's a reasonable price

Re: Eliaquim Mangala

I have only watched bits and bobs of him on the TV when Porto are playing in the Europa League and a few videos of him on YouTube but I must say I am very impressed with him and for me he is defintely one of if not the best central defender I have seen outside the current best teams in the Europe this season.

Him and Vinny would look a very physical partnership and if we add Fernando to sit in front of them I reckon that is as good as it gets in regards to power and strength.

I do think it will take him a season to adapt but I am sure Vinny will be their to support him, a bonus is Vinny can speak French so communicating will not be an issue.

We spent 7m on Savic and 12m+Savic on Nastasic

lets hope we will get this one right.

Nastasic will come good in the end.

He's not been able to get going because of bad injuries this season which have knocked his confidence and form off the bike.

But he'll be back and ready next season for sure.

Not sure Nastasic will ever have the speed or ball-control to play our system.

Eh? I thought Nasty had decent ball control and ability to pass from the back, moreover for a CB he's pretty fast, certainly as fast as Kompany. The problem is his game isn't based on our more swashbuckling approach this season but considering his age he'll adapt and become great again.

He's got a bit of pace but to say he's as fast as Kompany bloody hell. Kompany is actually rapid
