Or they move here for money and are pretty shit!My two cents...we search for players who we feel will be loyal to us and will buy into the city project so when we get them we have absolutely no right to force them out. I hope that any player that signs here and doesn’t want to be forced out stays and I’ll stand by that even if it might cost us a few points in the table. Loyalty goes both ways.
That's the last thing we should do while he's still recovering from an injury, it would be a ****s trick. Our medical staff should do his rehab, he should train with the first team until he's fit and then revisit the situation in January.We should pay up his contract (if we can) and just get shut. Unless there is someone somewhere willing to take him on loan etc was hoping Inter Milan might come round again but that is unlikely.

Them 'few points in the table' could cost titles.
Nail on head - good post mateThe club has a responsibility to honor it's contracts. Mangala didn't ask us to seek him out, we scouted him, decided he was the right player, negotiated a fee with Porto and negotiated a long and generous contract with him and his agent. I've seen no sign that Mangala hasn't tried to play to the best of his ability, he just isn't good enough. That's on our club and our scouting. That's not on Mangala. Just because it would suit the club for him to go on loan doesn't mean it would suit him. Nowhere in the contract does it say he needs to leave on loan at our request. Th club, as his employer, has a responsiblity to treat him with respect and he has a responsibility to put in his best efforts. He doesn't have a responsibility to go out on loan or be sold to wherever we dictate he goes. He also needs to live with the consequences of his decision though. If he isnt good enough to get gametime but refuses to pursue opportunities elsewhere he may be torching his future prospects and career options. But that is his choice and his consequences to live with.
Bingo!Then that’s on the club. They offered the deal. I *always* support the players over ownership but that’s just me and more an overall life outlook and not specifically City related. I’m sure it’ll work itself out.
