Manchester City does not want Eliaquim Mangala back

The management of Manchester City is worried by the possibility of the Valencia defender Eliaquim Mangala to return to the Etihad in January.
The senior coach of the Bats, Cesare Prandelli is unhappy with the shape of the French footballer and does not want him on the team.
Valencia is considering seriously the possibility to return the 25-year-old player back in January.
Manchester City does not want to hear about Eliaquim Mangala because he is not included in the plans of the manager Josep Guardiola.
Manchester City paid 32 million pounds to Porto in the summer of 2014 for Eliaquim Mangala.
Valencia may redeem the rights of Eliaquim Mangala from Manchester City for the amount of 15 million pounds, but the Spanish club via soccer-tips will almost certainly not take advantage of that opportunity.

Strootman will get punishment

The midfielder of Roma Kevin Strootman almost certainly will take the punishment from the Italian Football Federation, which could cause a melee in the City derby against Lazio.
Roma prevailed with 2:0 in the derby, which was marked by a mass brawl between football players. It all started with the opening goal in the match predicted by soccer-tips in the 64 minute, after which Strootman poured some water on the reserve player of Lazio, Danilo Cataldi and that led to a conflict between them both. Cataldi got Strootman for the shirt and put him on the ground and in the next minute the officials were trying to stop the fight between the players of both teams.
On this occasion, the Federation have requested videos in order to assess whether the Dutch player of Roma deserves a penalty for his involvement in the scandal. The referee Luca Banti actually showed a yellow card to Strootman, but it was not clear whether it is because of his lush joy or because of the incident with the water.
If the ticket was for the joy after the goals, the Federation has every right to punish the referee a lot more seriously, probably for two or three games.
