10 Most Disappointing Premier League Players Of 2014/15 (So Far)

9. Eliaquim Mangala

Mangala was one of only two signings Manchester City made in the summer, the other being Fernando, and great things were expected of him. Signed from Porto for an astonishing £31.8m, a huge amount for a defender, the France international was seen as one of Europe's most promising centre-backs. Along with the likes of Raphael Varane and Mamadou Sakho, he was part of an exciting generation of Les Bleus players. The 23-year-old has really struggled to adapt to life in England, however, looking a shaky presence in a City side that always looks like a disaster waiting to happen when Vincent Kompany isn't part of the back-line. He has been erratic in the tackle, dodgy on the ball and has made errors in abundance. Mangala must be a quality player, considering just how highly he is rated by many, and it may be a case of taking time to settle into the Premier League for him. He's been very disappointing though.
