27 | Matheus Nunes - 2024/25

Still baffled as to why we signed him (well, apart from it being a panic buy after Paqueta got charged). He's not a DM that can cover Rodri's role, yet his goalscoring/creating ability is abysmal, so you wouldn't bring him on if needing a goal.

His standout attribute seems to be going on the odd long run with the ball in dead-rubber Champions League group games last season, but beyond that I really don't see what he brings.

I imagine it went something like this: City didn't get Rice or Bellingham, then the Paqueta deal unexpectedly collapsed, so we gave Mendes a call and asked him which of his midfield clients was looking for a move. He suggested Nunes, which would coincidentally help Mendes' mates at Wolves with PSR, so we did Mendes a favour and got a half-decent squad player out of it to keep up relations for future deals. Will probably be gone in the summer.
 
Players don't get a chance as in a run of games is because pep doesn't rate him or more likely don't trust him with the ball possession wise technique wise! Doku straight in the side Savino straight it the side trusted! He is better than Philips but pep doesn't trust him..

Don't think it's a big deal which is why it's hasn't been anywhere else for a month. Man in night club taking pictures of another man , second man maybe over reacts a bit and takes his phone.

Why is it overreacting if someone takes a photo of you in the toilet?

Is there no privacy left in the world?

The funny thing is, Pep seems to trust Nunes more than McAtee. By the logic of some people, this must make McAtee terrible.

It doesn't.

Nunes doesn't start many games because we have some of the very best midfielders in the world. Things might change this season or might not. In any case, we can't have only world class players in the squad.

Also, many people are just clueless. The fact that Rodri didn't start in the CL final was treated like evidence that he wasn't good enough for City. Also, some people wanted to swap Gundo for Aouar..., 3 years after Gundo was at City. They didn't rate him at all. We were bound to fail with Rodri and Gundo in the middle...

Mcatee is about 12. Nunes is a grown ass international.
