with his international record and his days at barcelona he seemed a good buy. but i remember tim vickery the south american based reporter saying when we signed bravo that in his opinion his best days were behind him. i know a lot of people on here seem to slag vickery but i find him very clued up on south american players. i always remember david seamen. safe hands as he called himself. his last season was shit. when a player goes especially a keeper he can look very poor. just my opinion.

For being a dickFor what? Presenting a logical argument on why a players presence in the team could cost us millions by possibly not finishing 4th and the impact on player recruitment as a result. And the fact our manager wouldn't admit to being wrong despite it being obvious to almost anybody who watches football (look at pretty much all independent football analysts)

Don't be so precious. If you have ever been pleased when a star player from the opposition is injured that's the same thing. We aren't talking serious career threatening - just a few games. Pep seems to me exceptionally egotistical and with the exception of Pep lovers I don't know anyone who rates Bravo this year. Pep won't admit to making a mistake (look at that bullshit a fortnight ago "I have learnt so much") but what have you learnt?- he never actually articulated that!! And next game was back with Bravo in net and Kolarov at CH. As such he meant "have learnt fxxk all and made a sound bite only". The fact that Bravo appears to have an injury that might keep him out till the end of the season is good for the club I support because it gives us slightly more chance of top 4 which in turn means more Chance of signing better players
Well I asked........

being outraged isn't a barometer for doing the right thing.So you want a blue banned from the forum, not because your outraged but by some sense of injustice from the past? Sad cnut.

Bullshit. Has reportedly wanting a move away affected De Gea's performances? He saves shots.
Bravo's just been a wank buy, simples. It's not rocket science.
Actually, De Gea's a bloody good keeper, and one of the key reasons why a very ordinary United side are breathing down our neck. Frankly, I'd have him in a heartbeat.
But I'm going to call this one, sorry. It's Pep I'm annoyed with. Ok, he gave him his run out in the FA semi-final, fair enough. But it is incomprehensible to me that he selected him for this one. Can you imagine the utter fury till the end of the season if that cross that he palmed out had gone in from the follow up and they'd won 1-0?

What if he punched it and it flew into 90 yards into the top corner and we won 1-0?
What if Caballero played, made two big fuck ups and they won 2-0?
You shouldn't be annoyed with Pep for the clean sheet we got just because you've imagined us not getting it.

Funny how he's being defended for the other night
Imagine that?
A City player being defended on a City forum!

he wasn't selected because he was in better form mate, he isn't. he was was selected because he cost 17m quid. either way we don't want him injured and as for that flap I still maintain it was entirely down to otamendi. not shouting.He was selected as he was in the better form. He did make the save so all moot

you can't on his keeping skills he's been terrible. in balance though you have to say he's improved, improved on shite but improved. he did well against the rags in what little he had to do. would I recall him? no, but although this season has gone tits I don't want him humiliated when as of the last game he was fine.

He is selected because he can contribute like this.
Of course he needs to show he can also stop a shot now and then and on that point i will agree and say his form has been poor but he made the save he needed to against the Rags and as fans, we have to realise that whilst Pep is here, the ability to play from the back is absolute key.

If i was a grass i would have reported him and i didn't,he asked what was wrong about what he posted and i pointed out it is against the COC,mods are very active in here so he was always going to be picked outLots of grasses in here. Karen started it then along came BJL to give her a hand.
Let the mods do their jobs guys. No more blue on blue. I doubt he meant it literally

You think it's a stroke of luck one of our players is injured? Ffs some dickheads on here at timesBeing injured is hardly a disaster on 5 million a year. I don't think he has done better recently - the difference is he has had bugger all to do because Vinnie is back. And I think it is a massive stroke of luck that he is out because it could have huge implications in that whilst Cabs isn't much better he IS better this season. Football has changed massively over the last few years - players for example are coming to City for Champions Lge football and Peps reputation. Finishing 5th could affect both of those. Leicester for example will hit us on the break and now Cabs might save it when Bravo would simply fall to his left. It could be the difference - who knows. So I don't care about being crass. my own opinion is Bravo is completely garbage for us and i will lose no sleep if he never plays again. Nor will a large number of other City fans. And don't thibk "you should never wish someone injured" - I am sure most people were happy that big swede was injured last night. What's the difference? It isn't like it is a serious career threatening injury.

Yet it was ignored by the media and its almost forgotten on here by our own who still think "we fuck about with it at the back for nothing" to coin a phrase.

I will put you and anyone else who shares this view straight right now.
No one grassed him up although reporting his post would have been warranted given it was clearly against the code of conduct we have.
By all means say whatever you want but remember that whilst you have that freedom on here, you dont have freedom of responsibility for what you post and wishing injury on a City player is not only fucking moronic, its against our rules and it will be dealt with.
he wasn't selected because he was in better form mate, he isn't. he was was selected because he cost 17m quid. either way we don't want him injured and as for that flap I still maintain it was entirely down to otamendi. not shouting.
He was in better form though, well that's if we're taking the last 6 games played by each as form and basing it on shot stopping.
Was it not Kolarov that Bravo had a go at?
