Perfect for our team then apparently.Unfortunately he can't defend to save his life
Seriously No idea mate not seen enough of him in a solid backline. I presume you mean Angelino, not Mandy or zinchenko
Angelino in a attacking sence is a very good player, but as a defender, he is probably one of the worst LB I have seen in my life. He makes Mendy look like Maldine.Perfect for our team then apparently.

He's not the best defensively but he's not quite that bad, if we are giving ourselves the option to play three at the back more often next season with the signing of Ake, I'd be delighted with Angelino as a wingback with that added protection.Angelino in a attacking sence is a very good player, but as a defender, he is probably one of the worst LB I have seen in my life.

How is he not a fit for our team. He is an overlapping FB just as Mandy is
The sad fact is mendy cost us £50m but angelino cost £5m. Hes easily dispensed with if hes not exactly what we need.
Pretty sure, as is relativey widely reported, we only signed angelino because we had the buyback and there were clubs sniffing around. Hopefully make a decent profit on him but wasnt expected to be our player long term.
I agree, I dont think Mendy is ideal either. But in football, you generally get more of a chance if your club has paid a small fortune for you over the academy/low fee player. Not always, but in most cases.

angelino was bought back with long term profit in mind. can't see him making it at city, which is a shame as i would prefer him to mendy

Angelino is simply not good enough at defending, his attacking in a very top team is decent but not good enough.
He returned to us to give Mendy time to recover from injury but ultimately I believe was brought back to make money on a future move.

Pep sees him in training every day, it is quite possible he doesn’t like what he sees. I am inclined to trust his judgement on these mattersI don't know if this is true or not.
Where Angelino is concerned, the only thing I am sure of, is that he has not been given a fair crack of the whip at City. He has never been so bad that he has deserved to be shunted out at the 1st opportunity.
If we are not buying a new LB this Summer, I would bring Angelino back and sell Zinchenko.

What do you mean “perfect for our team” because he can’t defend. Stop being a prick, and stop listen to the bias of the pricks on Sly and BT. You don’t make snide comments that Liverpool are shit at defending do you, yet we conceded a whole TWO goals more than them in the league, despite (a) playing a far more attacking style than them and (b) being without our number one CB for half the season. This “City can’t defend” nonsense is fucking bollocksPerfect for our team then apparently.

Pep benched him all season as he didn’t want him, then dropped him in for his first start against Salah at Anfield.
Pep is clearly a legend but he was making a point and hung Angelino out to dry that game.
Considering we had cup games he could have eased him in beforehand, it was clearly an act of stubbornness by Pep and it’s frustrating as we really could have used the lad.
He has enough to be on par with Mendy and Zinchenko at LB, and if we go to 3 at the back with wingbacks, he’d be perfect.

For me Angelico would be the perfect back up left back but Mendy isn’t good enough to be first choice so it would mean selling Zin and Mendy and buying a new left back. It’s too much chop and change I fear.Pep benched him all season as he didn’t want him, then dropped him in for his first start against Salah at Anfield.

Oh I'm sorry, have we put in a bid for It's Quiet yet? What's the latest?
I'm sick of coming in here thinking I'm going to find updates on a specific player.
Get a grip mate. I said ‘perfect for our team then APPARENTLY’ suggesting not my views but the views of others, some on here, but most outside the club.What do you mean “perfect for our team” because he can’t defend. Stop being a prick, and stop listen to the bias of the pricks on Sly and BT.

Why is it this forum just seems built around some that just want to take an aggressive contradiction to comments, especially when they don’t read or comprehend the post. We are all blues.
Angelino as back up? so the first choice LB get injured and you bring him in.For me Angelico would be the perfect back up left back but Mendy isn’t good enough to be first choice so it would mean selling Zin and Mendy and buying a new left back. It’s too much chop and change I fear.
Say goodbye to the chance to win anything.
Zinch is poor but a million times better than Angelino.
