Anyone know much about this Oatmeal bloke who City have just signed from Valencia

[7evens]

He certainly has the look of a chap who could get right up in a strikers grill Clive

[Dutch Gooner]

now :shrug:

They've not had a sniff out of the club for weeks.
I can't remember a time in pevious windows where we've not been linked with anyone.
The old boys taking a huge gamble if he has decided to close up shop.

Think Nelson Vivas' big brother

People who watch Porto regularly rate Mangala much higher.

We may all have individual preferences for new purchases but you will see from the brief cameo by Arteta on Sunday that he can when needed play beside or in place of Coquelin. The forward line, again with no regard for individual preferences or dislike of certain current players, is also well stocked.

I am not adverse to thinking we have almost too many players.

p.s. I would personally buy both.

Few players at City with the exception of the magnificent Silva and Aguero came away from last season with their reputations enhanced.

[Ben.]

I say ironic merely because he appears to be the one being replaced,from what I have seen Mangala definitely has better attributes and a higher ceiling.
I agree with you.

Not sure if he played with Mandingo, I seem to remember he was his replacement.

[Ben.]

I just mean seeing both first hand, they seemed to think Mangala was immerse while Otamendi was a bit meh.
Portuguese league though, obviously.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

While not completely bizarre it is slightly bizarre.

[Luis Anaconda]

Is a bit weird

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

How odd.
