If we got him for like, 10-15m you'd be made up.
If you'd paid 30m for him it's frightful. He's just alright, and 26.

Definitely would like to keep him, but not at that price.Cozzie wrote: Sun Dec 22, 2024 4:51 pm Wasn't the reported figure €40M?
Wouldn't pay that much but he'd be a good permanent addition for the right price.

Re: Orel Mangala on loan
Would prefer to buy a younger model but if we drop £10-15m on him then I wouldn’t complain.
Really compliments the hustle and bustle of Gana and docoure well with how calm he is on the ball.

Re: Orel Mangala on loan
He has brought so much balance to the midfield.
Definitely worth pursuing a permanent deal at the right price.
Coming into his prime at 27 next year but I would say £20m max. The €35/40m price tag that I have seen bandied around is a bit rich.

Strikes it so cleanly.
Harrison should watch him in training.

Yeah, wouldn't drop the €40M reported fee on him, but if there was room for negotiation, then definitely.

Re: Orel Mangala on loan
As much as I like him, unless it's a bargain I wouldn't spend our money on him, for us to be with a 30+ year old midfielder when the contract nears to an end.
Spend on younger players with potential. Unless it's a bargain. We can't afford to spend big.

Re: Orel Mangala on loan
100% agree cant be spending money because a player does well alongside a 35 and a soon to be 32 year old.TheRam wrote: Thu Dec 26, 2024 3:48 pm Would prefer to buy a younger model but if we drop £10-15m on him then I wouldn’t complain.

Ideally if we did sign him, he would be playing with 2 new mids next year too.

Re: Orel Mangala on loan
If both Gana and Doucoure leave in the summer we could do with an experienced head in there so I'd be happy to sign him should the deal be reasonable. Just depends on how much he'd cost and how much we have to spend really.
