40 odd million...Christ on a fuckign bike !!!!

[PrezIke]

Yep, I've also read numerous reports that said it was in fact £42million.

What I can't get my head around is why it was reported at £32million in the first place if that is actually the case. Why would the club do that?

Could be for a variety for a variety of reasons. Easiest and worst to assume is that it was a smoke screen to prevent Mangala and the club from being criticised even more than they already were for for the initially reported fee. Txiki spent a long time trying to get him, so he probably felt they had to go through with it in some form after it was reported we were close to landing him all summer long, and other CB options out there were not what the club probably wanted to invest so heavily in.

This allowed for a lowering of the pressure on Mangala to settle in, which was already fairly high given the fee. Fans would have been calling for his and Txiki's head much sooner if the fee was originally reported at £42million and would have made it difficult.

We also did some skewering of the truth about Lampard, so we seem to be into using counterintelligence to heed off the critics effect on the club, fans and players until the criticism can come out with less media attention and scrutiny. The fact that many here did not know of this fee mixup may mean waiting to tell the truth worked, as Mangala is more accepted by fans now than he was earlier in the season.

Alternatively we pay Porto a fee for 100 percent of his registration and Porto buy out the various third parties - it might be someone was holding out for more money (there was a lengthy delay as I remember) resulting in Porto having to come back to us for more, which could explain the two figures as well (and simple error giving the first one out).

You are right Carl and to think after Roberto broke the back of the rags, we let the Spafia piss money away. No way is Mangala anywhere near good enough. Furthermore we got an ageing cb in Demich, bought poorly , haven't given any kids a chance and now need to rebuild . Yeah dead f*kcnig holistic. Yaya just turned 40 , so we basically have a couple of months to revamp the midfield and defense ( is kompany off to Barca btw ?).

I would suggest, Mikhail old chum that after the final whistle blows on the last day of the season, our very own waste of money Mangler, will prove to be best value of the three.

Mangala is going to be, and is well on his way to being, a fantastic defender who will be an anchor for us for 5 years or so.

Just look at the stats dickweed. Ze Mangler plays, ze other team doesn't score.

it's like if Tinder had an analytics solution that would show a woman how few orgasms she would have if she swiped right when seeing your pic and she ignored those stats anyway. Shocking. Selfish prick.

cheers

You dont spend 40 odd million pounds on a fuckign supposed "going to be" player you thick cunt!!.....he is not worth 42 million pounds..end of!!

Fuck the stats , we have been the luckiest cunts in defence when hes been playing , more down to shite finishing from other teams players than down to our fucking defending.

Ball don't lie, homeslice.

Mangala is a very good to potentially great left footed defender. Find three of those with his age, pace and physical attributes and I'll eat my hat.

Kolarov has the best clean sheet ratio (mase)

.Mangala seems to have had a relatively easy ride this season because of the way he played in that early game against Chelsea.

On the other hand, that performance could have been a case of flattering to deceive. How much longer do we continue to cut him some slack because of his putative potential ??

Moreover, it might be argued that he cost us the title when the money could have been better spent on some forwards.

There is factual evidence that Kompany has been the key factor in us losing ground on Chelsea this year which eventually lead us up to costing us the title, more so than any other City player.We were neck and neck until he came back from injury and decided to play Kamikaze defending....I blame him 100%.

As you say ,Mangala is potential , nothing more.....42 fuckign million for that is an outragious piece of business.

Strikers are successful if they score, defenders if they keep clean sheets.

It's a simple game this one.

I dont hate CB,s at all.........I hate it when some Blue tinted tits defend the undefendable.

Lescott was a shit footballer and stopped our forward play...which was just as important as defending was - thats why they got rid of him.
Kompany has been shit to average for 2 years - he came from injury and fucked up game after game after game until we fell so far behind chelsea that the title was gone - Not my opinion , its based on facts.

Mangala has kept clean sheets ? I could say it was Demi who kept them !!....but regardless of who gets the credit , between them they have kept clean sheets which is why they should stick together for the next 2 matches.The point being made is , Mangala cost 42 million pounds and thats about 32 fuckign million too much for a player that up to now ,barring one or 2 games, has shown us he cannot control a ball , cannot get his positioning right and has gotten away with murder when he has fucked up as the other team failed to score....more jam than hartleys.!!
