Corriere dello sport today tried to evaluate the situation of Mangala and Mustafi regarding the transfer rumor.
Shkodran Mustafi, the new addition to Inter’s wish-list is least likely to leave the club as Arsenal have bought him just last season and they will not consider any loan deal. Hence, Mangala of Manchester City is the player Inter is targeting as the management believes they can get him on loan.

Mustafi is safer, but Mangala has more potential if he can limit the mistakes.
well, he has experience of serie A before with Sampdoria. That’s +1 from him
Can´t say I know either Mustafi nor Mangala very well but looking at a line of vidoes on Youtube of them both, I´d say Mangala is the better of the two.
he´s taller good in the air pretty fast but first of all; he´s really good with the ball at his feet and has some great long passes – whereas Mustafi reminds me of Mazzarri – and “all in defender” who smashes his opponents and loves a good sliding tackle – a type we actually lack, and he already spend 1 1/2 years at Sampdoria before going abroad!!
i don’t mind us signing the new mats hummels 😀
Who is new mat him hummels?
antonio rudiger
mustafi …was joking
we can play w/ 3 CB for more attacking option, which spalletti also very good using it
he wants to leave arsenal to sit on inter bench? cause i cant see either miranda or skriniar dropping for him. we dont have europe for rotation, he will only play in the cup or if someone is injured or suspended. we need someone like tonelli, acerbi. not mustafi.
It will be 3 cb for 2 spots. It depends with injury and suspension. No way skriniar and miranda could perform 100%if they didnt get rest
they will have a full week to rest for most of the season. i really prefer an experienced quiet italian like tonelli and acerbi rather than someone who will be unhappy when benched 4-5 consecutive games at the very least(its more than possible). shame we let andreolli leave.
exactly, good if we have mustafi but he wont be play that often, zinho worth to try i think
We could go 3-4-3 though Keita in, Candreva/Calcelo in, Dalbert in, Skriniar, Miranda and Mustafi in…
How much rest do they need though? Without Europe we only have a game once a week.
We have no decent subs. Rano will probably (thankfully) leave, so we need a third defender. Our squad is good, but we lack depth compared to Rube.
Last season almost every defender played a decent amount of games…It’s a heavy duty position and Inter has only two reliable options.
its not like Skriniar is the lovechild of Nesta and Cannavaro or Miranda is not aging… having no competition is what turned murillo to be a failure, its always better to have more first team quality players, especially for the defence. that being said, Mustafi could cost easily 30-40m, not the best investment in our current financial state
It’s Arsenal dude. Their club is in shambles, and I bet you that we will finish higher than them in our respective leagues. Yes, it makes sense for him.
Dont forget that he can play great as a Rb too. That’s his position at NT when they won the WC
no, the fullbacks are Lahm and Howedes.. Mustafi played only as Hummels or Boateng’s backup and that is as CB everytime..
as if Arsenal somehow was a bigger club than Inter now…
doesnt matter. theyre still a top team in EPL and particiate in europe this season. he will have more minutes with the gunners in my opinion.
I prefer to find some wonderkid for CB to backup skriniar and miranda, based to facted on match againts roma yesterday, miranda and skriniar have a good performances…
