Eliaquim Mangala signs - Confirmed by club

[TheRam]

I must admit even my mates who are City fans have ridiculed him as he does look totally uncoordinated and all over the place at times but he's big, strong and quick so once he gets his head right, like Yobo, he's probably a very good no nonsense defender. 

Yobo was a baller and the complete opposite of no nonsense.

Arguably the most nonsense defender we’ve ever heard except for maybe funes “random decision” mori

Fair enough. Maybe wrong turn of phrase.

It's absolutely shocking no one has made a Quim pun yet.

Shame, always good to have as if a loan goes well you have a chance of getting them for under thier market value. I assume Mangala would cost at least £30m in this market though with City pulling the strings as well... Would be good to see him do well and enjoy it here and maybe we will be able to put a cheeky bid in for him at the end of the season.. Or he'll just be horse shit.

City know they can get their money back if he does well.

The downside of making it clear that you will literally pay whatever it takes to get what you want.
