Sorry, I think that's just clichéd rubbish, an excuse for any player not working out, "oh he just couldn't hack the mental pressure, he's too weak".

It creates an environment which is suffocating, and gives new players no time to get their feet under the table. Yeah, some players might be able to take months of abuse and criticism constantly and not let it get to them, but others might not, and that doesn't mean they are bad players, or aren't good enough, it just means we've created a scenario in which everything is stacked against them and ultimately have lost out on a good player because of it.


Bravo is another example. He has managed the mental pressures of playing for Barcelona, winning trebles, captaining his country to Copa America titles, but he arrives here under a complete media storm because he's the most expensive 33 year old ever and even worse, he's not Joe Hart, his first mistake is front page news for a week and he naturally takes a huge hit of confidence.

Bravo isn't a shit keeper, he was plenty good enough to play for Barca, but he arrived into a scenario where absolutely anything except instant perfection was going to be instant failure, and the more often we do that the more often we're going to see big money signings fail because sometimes they'll not hit the ground running for whatever reason.


Really???

Weak.
 
Fans who don't care about how much a player cost need to stop whinning about fans who do. We get it you don't care. We don't whine about the fact that you don't care so stop whining about the fact that we do.

It is insane that Sandro at over 50 million seems acceptable and Walker at 50 million also. These are disgusting #s. And can folks stop saying its the market, coz it isn't.

There are just 3 teams who buy at those prices, City, PSG and United. Everyone else seems to have concluded defenders shouldn't cost midfield and attacking prices.

at 50 and 60 million respectively, Walker and Sandro will become the 2 most expensibe defensive transfer in History. Sandro and Walker? Really?

Talk about an absence of imagination.
 
I mean, Sandro is a consensus top three fullback in football and Walker is often cited as the best RB in the PL, comes from a direct rival and has English tariff. Throw on top that neither are available from selling clubs and that City have to pay a premium for being City and yeah, it's expensive.

We can fuck around and buy cheaper quite easily, but maybe, just maybe, these are the players Pep Guardiola has identified for his squad. If so, the club have an obligation to go the extra mile to get them.

In doing so, ok, they'll ruffle a few feathers of Blues who reckon we are the new rags or think they can find similar or better players for less. But honestly, this fannying around has gone on too long. We've got the money, we've got the manager, now let's get him his squad and start winning.

Apart from Sandro, is there any LB out there we can get who is as good as Sandro ?
