Watched the Sunderland vs Swansea game just to find out how he was doing.. A rock in their midfield defensively, however I am worried about how little he was on the ball and how he almost seemed not to want it which would put Pep right off him as an option.That would be one really pathetic way to try and minimise his contribution to them.
If you weren't desperately trying to belittle him as a player though, you might say something like:
Sunderland have won 10 of their 11 points in games he's played in.
In games he's started they've conceded 5 goals in 5 games. In the 9 he didn't start they conceded 18 goals.
The Sunderland fans are raving about him, and he's an integral player for them moving forward. I have absolutely no idea why any City fan would twist facts in such a way as to shit on one of out own players the way you have with Denayer - what's your problem with him? No objective outsider, let alone a City fan would try and paint the completely inaccurate picture of him being useless - this on top of you opening with the lie that "he can't even get in the Sunderland team" - so clearly there's something more to it.
It was widely reported that VvD was the less talented half of the Denayer partnership,is that how you saw it? cheersUp here in the Frozen North it is being g reported tiday that it's between City and Chelsea and he prefers Pep.
He played for us and he us brilliant and will still get even better.
We get 10% of the fee so splash out. :)

Interesting,cheers.Not at all. Both were great and had a brilliant understanding. For me Van was technically better. Can score from free kicks and reads the game brilliantly.
He would be brilliant fir you but it also requires thought regarding who plays with him.
If you are looking elsewhere then I can't see anyone if that age and ability who is better.
I'd assume he would play mainly with Stones or in a three with somebody else too, what are your thoughts there.He would be brilliant fir you but it also requires thought regarding who plays with him.

If we pass up on VVD and then Bonucci again refuses, what's your plan B?not an inspiring signing but if Pep wants, Pep can have.
Would rather wait and go back for Bonucci.

He's refused before. It might not all be about moneyhe's Italian, let's just make him an offer he can't refuse.
I just don't see the point in signing another B+ CB for a lot of money, but hey-ho.

I believe every transfer carries an element of risk. I'm always excited to see new players with a strong reputation join us, but I understand that it doesn't always pan out the way we want. On that basis, I find it hard to criticise Txiki et al.yes, we know. I just think we've spent enough on CBs and should be a lot more careful from now on.

when you've spent over £100m on CBs and £0 on full-backs in the past 3 seasons, and you've bought Mangala, I think there is room for some criticism particularly when we end up having to play Kolarov & Clichy in the same team. We've bought a lot of players we're taking a chance on in recent times, I like us to just buy a couple of "been there, done that" stars, especially at CB.
