Why are people so unwilling to give the lad time, the transfer fee is not his fault so why keep beating him over the head with it. You can bet your bottom dollar that the same people berating him are the ones who did the same with Demi and we all no how that one turned out.
Mangala has had no pre-season, travelled to a world cup and has been thrown into the fastest most competitive league in the world. Nowt like giving the lad a little bit of time is there.
It's an agenda. No doubt about it.
I have no worries about him coming good. The only thing that might hold him back is the with hunt being put on him by the media. Hopefully the city fans won't get caught up in the propaganda.
Agree 100% with Dub here - there seems to be a concerted media campaign to belittle and undermine Mangala. I think hes been fine and he has been bought for the next 10 years, not for the knee jerk bollocks Ive seen in the press over the past month.
That twonk Ashton in the Mail writes for a comic anyway so I wouldn't place any stock in anything he crayons. Important the fans stick behind Mangala during this campaign of nonsense so that when he comes out the other side we can stick a collective two fingers up. I remember Ya Ya Toure and David Silva being bad mouthed in the press though the extent at which Mangala is getting it simply highlights graphically the agenda in play here.
Fu - we agreed on this issue on Twitter yesterday, about Mangala.
