theboyangel Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Still think he’s been signed as a play pal for Jack on the bench. Good player but not needed by Citeh (similar to Jack really). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I think this just proves that no matter how mucb of a fan of a club you are when Champs league teams come knocking and you havent played in it before, you are going to lose the player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 He was never going to sign for us, so I don't really give a scooby who he signs for. A couple of points on this though: It's interesting that they are paying less than other clubs would have had to pay for him. Is it really a good move for Southgate? Like last season's big Citeh signing, he won't be guaranteed a start week in and week out, as he was at his former club, so surely it would be better for England if he was playing regularly in the PL? He is another that will get a hefty pay rise, will get medals handed to him and only wanted to join Citeh, having previously claimed to be loyal to his home town club (so much for that!). As has been said, Citeh are intent on buying everyone they want (because they almost 100% can) and having the equivalent of two PL teams to pick from, by doing so we run an increasing risk of one, or at most two clubs winning everything for another ten years or so.

It is a massive problem. They are going to have the modern equivalent of Withe and Shaw up front for them next season. It seems that slowly but surely Citeh are turning into Bayern.

danceoftheshamen Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I'm actually pleased we didn't sign him. I think he's extremely injury prone and would have always played here with one half of him regretting leaving his home club. Another who will have a trophy cabinet full of purchased trophies which will mean little as the mists of time decend & it becomes clear how a few greedy clubs, funded by states and backed up by greedy FA & FIFA officials who greased the tracks for them with lots of dodgy deals, effectively destoyed true competitive football in the 21st century. Oh.... Welcome Newcastle Arabia too BTW 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Was subbed on in the 89th minute and had a couple of touches in his first game for Man City, but apparently that was too much. Now he’s out with ”some niggles”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted September 20, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2022 Surprised Southgate hasn't picked him anyway. Surely a Man Citeh player who can't walk is better than a player from a lesser team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 He has been a big time flop so far hasnt he? Injured, fitness injuries and contributing virtually nothing to citys title charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that surprising I still think he was signed to up their homegrown player quota. He was never going to be good enough to be a regular for them. Looks like once he got the move he got relaxed and now isn't bothered getting in shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
