22 | Vitor Reis - 2025/26 (on loan at Girona)

[clarion]

No he clearly isn't.
You've only got to look at how successful he is.
Why don't city look on here for a new manager

Being successful in the past doesn’t make you perfect in the future.
Pep loves ‚old‘ players. It is clear. It ruined our last season. It could affect this season too. Let’s hope not.

Why are you basing Pep choosing older players over young players entirely on just last season.Tell me with Rodri injured Foden struggling,which were the midfielders he should have picked over Gundogan, Kovacic, Bernardo KDB ? You aren’t the first I’ve asked that, would be the first to answer though.
Pep likes winning he’s really really good at building winning teams, do you think he’s forgotten how, or maybe can remember but just for a laugh can’t be arsed anymore?

Pep brought him self in the situation having Gundo, Kova and Bernardo for the midfield. Not signing a replacement or support for Rodri on the start of the last season. It was so clear the season before that Rodri needs support.
And this season. We are starting with old players on the central defender positions. Akanji,Ake, Stones are either not good enough anymore or injury prone.

Probably aren’t first choice either unless they show they deserve to be.

Don’t tell. Khusanov will play?
Yeah, right.

See you’ve diverted onto something else, question answered nope. You obviously think Pep purposely picks a weaker team for some weird reason, or is an idiot.

I do think he wants something more than picking the best team. It’s called overthinking. But this is not the topic.

Girona is like a black hole (or generally our loan policy), once you cross the event horizon there is no coming back from singularity. It was nice not to know you Vitor!

Yep it ruined Savinho's career didnt it!

Well he might have to play for Spurs now so not so sure

I don't give a crap about his career, I am talking about him as a City player, where his product was zilch last season. Riyad has produced more in 45 minutes playing on the right wing in City shirt than what this lad did in the whole season.
But Pep obviously sees something in him and I am not going against Pep's opinion. :)

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Saliba was sent out three times on loan by Arsenal. Not saying this kid will be as good, but it doesn't mean he's done here and will give him useful playing time

Lol - ok calm down i was discussing how a year at Girona got him into both La Liga team of the year and a transfer to the premier league - Mahrez? The player at the same age was playing for La Harve - scoring 6 in 60 games? Interesting comparison.

ps Savinho was joint top assists with Kev last year (8) in a poor season for all and his first season with City - so hardly zilch.

If we sacked him off fucks knows how we are going to replace his goals :)

 

[King Jay]

Comparing prime Mahrez to a 21yr old with 1 PL season under his belt. I really had to laugh right now

 

[Ken92]

Not starting today ,hopefully he will going forward.

 

[cleavers]

I thought this was the Reis thread.

 

[Damanino]

haha, after this game Girona will be on the phone for more players on loan, they need anyone we can give them...
even Kabore, Wilson Esbrand etc.

Getting hammered 0-3 by Rayo at half time. Keeper sent off.

Currently 4-0 down at HT, Reis not necessarily having a bad game himself but it's not the Girona team that they were a few years back. Going to be a tough year.
