General transfer rumours

I think a lot of people really underestimate Mangala's passing.

Because he's very ungainly, and nervous under pressure he's gotten a reputation as not being able to do anything with the ball at his feet, but he's actually very good at passing, especially if afforded any time on the ball.

It's a feature of every scouting video before we signed him - and I remember it being talked about as one reason we'd be interested in him.

This video shows it -



It's one reason I haven't completely given up on him, I think he needs to improve his short passing and his dealing with pressure - but that is something that everyone will improve on under pep - he basically just needs a lot of rondo-style practice.

The ability is in there somewhere.


problem is when you watch his City youtube highlights.....looks like a different person! His Porto highlights are alot more impressive but I think that comes down to the prem being a lot stronger league and level of competition is alot higher..
