Was the best player on the pitch the first 30 mins, then got a stupid yellow, almost gave away a goal and lost all confidence. I feel bad for him, he’s clearly trying, but with the constant abuse he always seems to be low on confidence
 
Similar to Otamendi. Can be alright for some of the game but he’s always got a brain fart in him. He’s genuinely a very average footballer who wouldn’t look out of place at a championship club

I had sushi & slept with this Italian bird this week who slept with Mendy a few weeks ago. (If I’m called out by someone who thinks I’m speaking bollocks, I’ll show @Ric proof). She also slept with Mahrez. There you go our two boo boys (can’t make this up). She’s also slept with Matuidi the fucking whore. (She’s not a whore, but she’s all plastic surgeried-up and gets flown around the world by rich people via Instagram DMs.)

I asked her what were they like and nothing bad about Mahrez but in regards to Mendy she said some things that really didn’t sit right with me and in the grand scheme of things, may not have any true significance.

Her 8 year old son plays football and she tried to ask him about football, and he replied “fuck football.” She said at this party he had somewhere in France a few weeks back (Cannes or St Tropez...I’m not sure but can find out) that this guy was the wildest person she’d ever seen partying-wise and he did certain things that I won’t ever say. Things that I don’t disagree with, but shit you’re a pro footballer.

Now, maybe I’m old school, but to me wild parties before the season starts, like a month before, I think just seemed a bit unfocused. Especially the things he was doing.

Don’t slag me off saying “it’s okay to party hard,” but it was just the general vibe/body language she gave me about Mendy that I interpreted just didn’t seem City like (in addition the what occurred which I’m sure players do on vacation). I didn’t like the whole crazy party boy thing and it made me question his focus.

Please understand that I completely understand you can work hard and play hard but I didn’t like what I heard about a player who should be building his success back up after having fallen off.

Not sure why you mentioned the sushi, that's the only bit that made me scratch my head. It made me want to order some.

Sounds like a few in the squad are being caught with the pants down
 
We didn’t see enough pre injuries to know how he was really going to work out... So all we can do is go back to the Mendy that was at Monaco, which for most us was two games where he ripped our ageing fullbacks apart... but where he was also not great defensively... and think that was the guy we were going to see.

At times we still see the attacking threat, but it’s seemingly much more threat than actual hurt. The defensive side is still decidedly average.

How we haven’t signed a second left back is unbelievable given his injuries and form since the surgeries.
 
Well City scouting team have 60 pages about players, what they are like, detailed studies, personality traits etc.

Seems like it worth fuck all based on Stones/Mendy...

Sam lee on a podcast said they knew he was a dick but thought he'd be alright if he was in Manchester and out of that environment. So they knew, but seemed to ignore it and thought he was worth 50 million regardless. That's a(nother) big, bad call
