What did you guys did to two of my favorite ex-Porto players. I read that someone that was from MC, said that they were the worst signing of EPL. I'm talking about Fernado and Mangala.

They probably were the worst signings of the season. It does take players a year to adjust at times so hopefully they can improve next year. But the real problem is how ridiculously expensive they were. Wasn't Mangala 40 million pounds? No way was he worth that with the performances he's put in. Gotta give credit to Porto though, they really know how to get as much money as possible when selling a player.

Mangala was our most promising player. You're talking about a club that has an excellent track record of producing Center Backs.

Fernando Couto, Ricardo Carvalho, Pepe, Otamendi, etc...
