BREAKING: Cardiff City set to sign Lorient captain and Gabon centre-back Bruno Manga in a deal worth more than £5m.
Fantastic signing at this level.
And you know he's a fantastic signing because.....? Be truthful like everyone else you don't know who the f**k he is!!!!
He's rated highly and was wanted by top European clubs? He's captain of his team?
Lol f*cking Hudson is captain but I'm still not convinced he was ever worth the money which was paid for him!!! You read too much newspapers, do you really think that if top European clubs ever wanted him then he wouldn't be where he is and he wouldn't be willing to play in the championship

Who is Bruno Manga? Everything you need to know about Cardiff City's centre back signing from Lorient
Bruno Manga was one of the most highly rated defenders in French football and now he's about to sign for Cardiff City. Take a look at our guide to the Bluebirds' final signing of the summer.
Cardiff City are about to sign towering centre back Bruno Manga from the French first division.
Never heard of him?
Fear not, because here's all you need to know about the man Arsenal and Southampton were chasing.
Bruno Ecuele Manga is a Gabonese international centre back.
He won 119 aerial duels in Ligue 1 last season, more than any other player.
Manga completed 69 percent of his tackles in Ligue1 last season, five per cent more than Thiago Silva, of Paris St Germain.
He has been at Lorient since 2010, after joining for £2m from Angers when Laurent Koscielny left for Arsenal.
He played 116 games for Lorient and scored four goals.
He has played 40 times for Gabon and scored five goals.
He is right footed, 26-year-old, 6ft 1in, and was born in Gabon capital Libreville , where he started his professional football career.
He was under contract at Lorient until next summer and has played every minute of their last two games, against Nizza and Lille, having missed out against Monaco on the opening day of the season, when Bluebirds chairman Mehmet Dalman was in the crowd.
His pass completion rate was 78.7 last season and has been as high as 87% in previous seasons.
Manga has a reputation for being a tough tackler in French football
What the media say...
Bleacher Report: “Manga's constant switching from Silva-level defending to David Luiz-esque mistakes is why no top European club has taken a calculated risk on him.”
