Eliaquim Mangala - now official

Re: Eliaquim Mangala

Because I'm not a hypocrite nor do I bury my head in the sand. We got lucky and bought success, someone tell me I'm wrong. It's not a problem to me, it's the club I love, however we win trophies is fine with me, I'd argue after years of suffering we deserve this good fortune. You need money to compete and we have billions.

Anyway this is a transfer thread about Mangala, lets not turn this into a completely different topic.

Oh well, fair enough. At least you admit to slagging off the club and its staff.

Well done.

If, for whatever reason, me saying we overpaid for players and did exactly the same thing PSG are currently doing is slagging off the club and officials off, then chuck me in a cell and throw away the key. I'm guilty your honour.

You have derailed the thread with the blindingly obvious whilst for some reason wanting to defend PSG whilst casting your own club in a less than favourable light.

Then when challenged about it say keep on topic.

Re: Eliaquim Mangala

You're wrong. I distinctly remember David Beckham, Bald Bobby Ticket Tout, Shit on the Lou Macari and Gordon Over The Hill all telling me on Talkshite 5 years ago, that money couldn't buy success.........

Sounds about right. I'm under absolutely no illusions, we are where we are today because of Sheikh Mansours money and I'm certain 99% of blues agree.

You seem rather desperate to hammer this point home fella.

Why you and the rest of the objectors are so afraid to admit it, is what puzzles me. When we first got took over we embraced it, I distinctly remember us singing songs like "we'll buy your club and burn it down" people seem afraid to admit we spent money and lots of it to get where we are.

I've finished on the subject anyway. Mangala is overpriced ;)

What on earth are you talking about.

"Objectors" ?

You are stating the obvious and yet seem to be using it as a stick to beat your own club with.

Bizarre to say the least.

That is all I have to say on the matter.

You've gone out your way to create this argument about why PSG shouldn't have a bad word said against them, in doing so parroting the words of every rag in the world by making sure no-one here is under the impression we didn't just buy our way to success.

Nobody in this thread is actually representing the viewpoint you are so vociferously trying to to oppose, so what your motives are is my question?

I can see by your Join date that you're a Johnny-cum-lately and are now bored of the project. You Sir are a disgrace.

I don't know how we've ended up arguing about something we agree on. Anyway, I've never used it as a stick to beat the club with. Simply, I won't say bad things about other clubs spending big. Not entirely sure it was even you that brought up PSG.

Back to Mangala folks.

You seem to be very sensitive, mate. All I said is our owners have learned and don't operate the same way they did back then. We had to overpay for players back then, now we don't. And since Cheeky and Ferran took over, we have looked for better fits and have held out for better value than we did when Cook and Co. were in charge. I'd be interested to know if you think the club has overpaid for players since they took over.

If you think the Sheikh is hand-picking his players, you're wrong -- he's not like Abramovich. He's hired the best in the biz (Cheeky and Ferran) to do that for him. Yes, we are still owned by the Sheikh, but everything except the signature on the check has changed since that time.

Re: Eliaquim Mangala

Cant say I am disappointed that we didn't sign defender for almost record fee that plays in Portugal ad cant make starting XI for French NT

And can someone shut Dan up and teach him how to open thread, cause he obviously can't do that since he's going off topic all the time in layers thread

I love people like you, go on, show us all your York away ticket, Mr super fan and I will happily show you a picture of me in the final game of the old Kippax on my 4th birthday, Johnny-cum-lately, wind your fucking neck in.
