Eliaquim Mangala

[Antimadridista1]

Mangala prefers Man Utd over Man City.

Doesn't look like LVG is totally convinced though.

Couldn't resist to laugh at the Benatia part in the end of the article though. Wow

20m pounds

If only it was the case..

LOL United over City. Owned. He prefers London most of all, if we don't bid for him he'll probably end up in Manchester.

 

[Haruko The Goon]

Must be soft mentally to want United over City.

 

[Alik]

Why? When a player chooses Monaco it's because he loves money. If he chooses United over City it's because he is "soft mentally"?

 

[Haruko The Goon]

At United and at City, Mangala can command upwards of £100,000 a week from the get go.

He's guaranteed a starting birth, as both teams need a monster of a CB. At City the pressure will be on right from game 1 of the season, he'd be expect to win leagues and perform to a certain level consistently, otherwise he'll be kicked out asap. At united, they're in transition, which naturally brings pressure, but not as much. Finishing 5th will be an improvement on last season, so the expectations won't be as high as City's.

I mean, he might go to United because he's a fan, or he's got a hard-on for some of their players: Rooney, Van P.... or he could be mentally weak, and would prefer a gravy train of a job, knowing full well the media will analyse the CM area than his own.... rather than instant spot light that City brings.

 

[DonAK]

Every player that goes to Arsenal must be mentally weak as well then. No one expects you to win a shit.

 

[Haruko The Goon]

If we and City were in for a player, and they choose us, I'd instantly question their motives and their mentality.

Ozil was supposedly on United radar but chose us over them due to Wengers influence. Fair enough. That's a fair reason. Does Magala love Van Gaal? don't think so

 

[Howes]

Utd turned down Ozil first, and city would be the easy transfer for Mangala not utd. I'd respect him a lot more if he went to Utd over city

Stupid Moyes lol

sometimes going to a lesser side is better for the player. they may not be ready for that step up yet, it could be a mental problem (Like I said earlier) or a technical/tactical one.

Ramsey is a good example, Fergie said Ramsey was minutes away form joining United, but Wenger swooped and signed him instead. Less pressure at Arsenal, meaning more freedom to play, and to be more at ease.

Going from Porto to Man City is like BAM, we need 8/10 9/10 performances every single match. At United he's be MORE at ease than at City (In my opinion)

 

[Howes]

Moyes signed Mata, his first choice

Back on topic, he impresses at the World Cup, don't see why Barcelona don't move for him,

 

[rb3025]

Never been impressed with him, nor seems France as he is only bench warmer there. For the money thats talked he is nowhere near that level. Picking United would be easy way for him, no pressure to perform cause they couldnt find 2 defenders better than him in that team. Even if wants to go to City I dont see his partnership with Kompany working out, they both seem rash, putting body on the line defenders, would be suicidal back line ( I do rate Kompany very highly)

and with this logic ....why did ozil love wenger ?? and how

he was a star at real madrid ? do you seriously think he was considering pressure @ arsenal vs pressure @ manutd. As arsenal has less pressure lets go to arsenal ?? i don't think ozil did that..

 

[Metaphysical]

wicked defender.

makes a fuckload of mistakes.

him and Kompany as a duo would be LOLSOME. commentators would be jacking it so hard to how well they were playing then they'd utterly fuck themselves in the eye and lead to City conceding a goal. combined with Yaya Touré's lack of tracking back then City's games vs. top-tier talent could be hilarious.

 

[La Furia]

He's quite the gifted athlete, but tactically naive.
