Eliaquim Mangala

[nmc]

Mangala is still ambitious enough and probably thinks Inter is the best club to kick start his career (even if it is on loan). Blaming the player is a pointless exercise. As Evans we wouldn't solved any issues we currently have in the defence, and would have the same problems in moving him on.

Evans is a significantly better defender than Mangala - in my view but I guess it's all about opinions. Mangala is an accident waiting to happen and unsettles the whole back line.

Nah, Phil Jones is a rough equivalent to Mangala although he has better positional sense.

Lol

Not much difference between the two.

You're right. Jones also reads the game better.

As this c*nt wont take a permanent deal which probably means a paycut & wants a loan deal where we end up paying a large portion of his wage, I vote we keep him & dont play him all season. I think we have to make a stand here. He's basically being a c*nt now so forget whats the most sensible option. He's trying to back the club into a corner & I'd be happy if City elected to teach him a lesson!

The only one being a **** here is you. He is not going to take a pay cut or go to a club he doesnt want just to please you. If you don't think he's worth the wages blame the guy who bought him. Plus he's better than Jonny fucking Evans

Thankfully I think the post you're replying to has been deleted. Absolutely fucking shocking way to speak about one of our own players. I absolutely fucking despair at some of our own fans.

Yes, I read that when you posted and it's no hard feelings from me that we disagree. I'm not a huge Evans fan. Mangala is at least two disasters per game waiting to happen. I guess we'll start Fernandinho or maybe Yaya or Danilo in central defense if things get bad with injuries and/or suspensions. That's preferable to putting Mangala anywhere near the pitch.

Perhaps his agent is on the money with Palace

What did he say?

What did he say?

Just supposing he knew Palace's bid was a rouse to get Dippers to give in re Shako
