He's come into a brand new team, has jumped up a level in the process, and is having a positive impact on how his team plays. The time to ask whether he's been worth £100m to City is the day he stops playing for us. Until then, he can only do his best and give his all, which he is doing thus far. If you'd told me when we signed him that he'd have played as well as he done, contributing to a decent handful of goals before the end of September, I'd have been very pleased and optimistic about the future. The price tag isn't his fault - he might be the most expensive English player ever but that's because of the market, not because he's the best English player of all time.
He struggled a bit in the first half but his improvement after the break, presumably after a word from Pep, was great. He looked really dangerous and kept Chelsea's defence very busy in periods of the game where they were trying to relax and set their stall out again. But for two great saves from Mendy he'd have had another goal - that first shot in particular, that Mendy tipped round the post, was a brilliant piece of sudden skill that caught everyone off guard and, against a weaker keeper, would have ended up in the back of the net. How many times has Raheem picked the ball up in that position and not even completed a pass? Pep's clearly a massive fan and I trust his judgement a lot.
