Jesus Navas

[bobom]

So glad he's no longer at the club. The sheer frustration of watching him delay forever in a promising position and then pass backwards.

I could count on one hand the times we actually had somebody in the box that he could pass to. Nobody could keep up with him.

Awaits the next poster to say he was constantly firing into the box but unable to beat the first defender.

An attacking winger who couldn't cross or score....

Thank g0d for Sterling and Sane.

 

[manimanc]

He was good, fast but always seemed to hit the first defender crossing it.
I thought he did ok for us.

 

[Bluesince1979]

Not a bad career for "bang average":

633 Senior appearances

2 - UEFA Cups
2 - Copa del Reys,
1 - European Supercup
1 - Spanish Supercup
1 - World Cup Winners medal

1 Premier League Win
2 League Cups


Yep, Tom knows best as always....

He WAS bang average ! Well maybe slightly better but that wouldbe it

 

[nellyonthewing]

He reminded me of my Sister in Law on a night out, never got past the first man..

In hindsight, RWB would have been his best position for City when Zabba’s legs went. Navas was class the first 90% of stuff that he did but his final ball was poor and his career goal scoring record abysmal. You can’t afford to have players so high up the pitch consistently missing easy chances which is what makes Sterling’s development over the past couple of seasons so important for us because there was a danger he was gonna be a Navas Mark II.

Yet many fans seem to love Rashford..

 

[Utter bobbins]

It’s a shame that some still have to slag him off even now he has left, suppose its gives Gundogan Jesus Walker and Mendy a break

 

[kaz7]

I liked him,the stopping and passing back was what mp made raz do,he has no problem being twice the player at Seville

 

[Burtonblue]

Good pro with brilliant attitude
Like many here he frustrated the hell out of me at times given his ability to get into great positions only to waste the opportunity...but he did have ability and heart and I will always like him for that.
Great to see him doing so well in the autumn of his career at his home club.
Long may he continue to enjoy his well earned success.

Would’ve made a decent full back against the lower sides imo.

Unless I am mistaken he did play there on a number of occasions without covering himself in glory.
Definitely better going forwards!

 

[big gaz]

Liked his work ethic, always did his best, which was more than some others at the time. Bet he's glad he never had he's own thread like Gundog, hey ho.

Good shout - Raz and Jesus do have quite a lot in common. I'm sure Pep could've got a lot more out of Navas.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I have never known a winger hit the front man with more crosses than Navas. It was nearly every time. And he wasn’t as quick as everyone used to say, he just had quick feet.

The team didn’t play that well in that season, if he was here this season he’d be doing pretty well.

To which his legs were attached

Bloody hell, absence makes the heart grow fonder for some. His final ball and goal scoring were mostly dreadful considering who he was playing for. Always tried fair enough and the Wembley goal lives long in the memory but after that first season when he did contribute a lot not even Pep could get an end product.
But wish him all the best

Fuck navas what about bravo :)
