In our desperation to sign a defender we did overpay for Mangala (similar to the current situation) and it didn''t work out as expected but he did have quallities that we didn't get the very best out him.

...nor has anybody since!
Unfortunately misjudgments can happen when signing players from weaker leagues.

Upamecano looks like he has the potential to be better than Koulibaly.

There are players with the potential to surpass KK. However, slim pickings for world class CB’s. If City wanted to start a project with some top prospects, I’m sure they’d go in for him,

True but FC Porto aren't a weak club (especially at the time we signed Mangala) but they did make us pay more than he was worth despite his potential.

I know but this guy claim to work for City so he has the inside track of what’s going on. But as several pointed out last friday, why risk his job breaking these ”news”?

Porto are not a weak club but it’s not exactly the world’s strongest league is it...
It’s easy for a player in the strongest team to look good against relatively weak opposition is what I meant.
