Can ' t see Mangala coming back in . I don ' t mean it in a negative way , but he ' s a bull in a china shop . I would have LOVED to see him under Mancini but I don ' t think he fits what Pep wants . That being said , it will be interesting to see what we do . I love VK but at the same time we can ' t keep relying on a guy that can ' t play . Stones has been solid but still isn ' t a finished product . Otamendi is solid but I don ' t feel comfortable relying on him and Stones solely . We desperately need another solid , reliable option . Trotting Kolarov out there is just too risky . <| sep |> Well a new Bloomberg article , from the day after I wrote my comment , says consumer confidence is up big . Some people just have an accurate instinct in how to look at the big picture .
