Mangala on loan....

He's as worse as Williams, just younger.

Jeez, imagine a centre back pairing of Williams and Mangala.

Take it Williams has lost it completely. Looked unnaturally shakey last time i seen him. Was a very good defender previously.

Mangala is just guff.

Martins Indi is better than Mangala.

Is he being shipped out on loan?

He's played well for city when he was given chances on December due to injuries. He will prove to be a good signing for us hopefully with a deal to buy permanently.

It's certainly an improvement on Williams, Mori and Martina, and he can play at left back if needed.

So baffles me why we haven't bought a lb yet baines has needed to be replaced for 3 years now!

This move and no move for a LB are not really linked.

Mangala offers options at no risk, leaving the next man/current man time to identify the best target and not rushing out and makes by the mistakes of the summer.

Why a long term replacement for Baines wasnt identified? Maybe replacing the best LB we have had for over 30 years is a task.

Hope the next man coming in has his idea/plan.
