Re the Mangala palava
I agree we support all players as part of the team but we can still have our own opinions based on performances.
Overall Mangala’s have been poor and why we accepted a bid for him. Watching the Wolves game live he was bullied one on one negating his hoped main attribute of strength. As the experienced cb he should have been able to work as a pair with Tosin to snuff out a lone striker from the championship who ended up creating havoc.
Remember he cost 43m.
Upto now he hasn’t even looked like decent back up. If he is picked ahead of Tosin then the young lad may as well move on as he’ll never be in a better position to be chosen to play.
3 centre backs - Danilo stones Delph. Walker and Sane wing backs with jesus and sterling on the wings and Kun up top. Kev, David and Fern can mess around in the middle of all that. Jobs a gundogan..... ;-)
£43 MILLION are you sure?
While everyone has an opinion about a player, and they need to be respected.What happens in reality is that the scapegoat becomes much worse in the eyes of those who need one. It does not matter in reality what people say on a forum, it does matter if they are loudly critical of the scapegoat at a match. It is like the wifebeater who proffesses to still love her. So call him gash on hete by all means but please stay quiet when you watch him "live" as you did at the Wolves game.
Remember you support mcfc and not individual stars.
The official fee was around £32M from memory, but football leaks showed papers that were generally taken to be plausible and have not been denied anywhere that I recall (lots of other clubs had details leaked) that indicated a fee of just over £40M£43 MILLION are you sure?

The 32M fee was also disclosed in that years notes to the accounts and yet some on here keep repeating this 40+ bollocks.Them leaked papers showed us nothing new, all they contained was how much Porto were paid for their share of Mangala and what their percentage share was, which we already knew as they had declared it to stock market.
They figured that the third and fourth parties were paid at the same rate for their percentage share and that's how they arrived at the £42m but there's no proof of them being paid the same rate, as far as I'm aware.
