Mangala rumoured to not be in today's squad......if correct looks to be on his way!

 

[K10&S21]

Don't think Mangala will be going anywhere.

then who do you think will make way?

lol, players coming Etihad early ?

 

[razman]

Will be good exposure for denayer if he goes

 

[kaz7]

Why did the attacker stop?

Doesn't matter,he left the ground completely and he would be in city blue ;)

 

[The Doctor]

So it looks like it will be VK, MDM, JD, & Otamendi

 

[Ric]

then who do you think will make way?

Demichelis, presumably.

info from source ?

 

[Proy]

Demichelis, presumably.

Is this on ric?

 

[Blueband Brother]

Demichelis, presumably.

I suppose we will find out eventually but is there any validity to this or just rumours?

 

[bobmcfc]

Makes more sense it's Demi because he is keen to retire in Argentina.

Hope so..

 

[bobmcfc]

Hope so..

He's keen to play in the U.S. And Retire in Argentina so if he hopes to do both those things he needs to get his skates on

 

[yeah whatever !!]

The only true validity to any transfer speculation is when the deed is done and signed.

ok as an avid follower of argentina let me comment on otamendi in his early days he was considered an incredible one on one defender who was extermely error prone.

his defending style is compared to ayala, agressive and proactive was similar to kompany also.

but in the last year or so something changed, his positional sense and distribution improved remarkably. he became one of the or if not the best defender in la liga.

imagine kompany mixed with Demichelis thats how good he became presumably because of playing in the tactical la liga and then he was called up for the copa america and was argentina's best defender.

in short he would be a incredible addition.

Yeah. But if he is not in the squad for today then that will lead towards the path of validating the rumour of Mangala leaving. I think Mangala is definitely staying. But the possibility of Otomendi coming here and how it will affect the future of other defenders especially Dimechelis remains to be seen.

CBS sports radio .........probably going off this, although they mentioned fees

Las Provincias say Valencia are finalising Nicolas Otamendi's move to #mcfc today. Eliaquim Mangala could go the other way.
