Aleksandar Kolarov

Might also mean a new CB is now more likely, as he played alot at that position last season....

Unless Adarabioyo stays as fourth choice CB?

Good Luck, As people have said a great servant to the club. Won the Lot with us no matter what is said.

I think we can all agree that is best performance for City was in the Harlem Shake, all downhill from there..

I'm not surprised at all, always expected him to leave this summer. We've been linked with a new CB anyway so someone had to go. Been a great servant for city but it's definatly the right time to go.

He was pretty good in the FA Cup semi final against the Rags.

Not surprising Kolarov is leaving. Should have been sold 2-3 years ago already. I don't think he was good enough but he had some good spells. Looks like new CB might be now brought in. Inigo Martinez maybe? He has £26m release clause and is left footed.

Kolarov really is the man. He has survived 7 years despite being absolute shite and his time at the club ends with HIM asking to leave US.

Pmsl, just about sums it up.

Will be missed

He did a proper professional job every advent calendar

Haha

If we go into the season with just three fullbacks in Mendy,Danilo and Walker we'll absolutely regret it. Not sure how many times Fernandinho has to cover there for Pep to see he's useless in that position. He gets targeted and it costs us every time he's up against somebody half decent. Not really his fault, he simply isn't a fullback. I'd love Mangala to stay but it's probably not happening, and definitely not as a left back although he did quite well there today. Lots of questions to be raised by this.

Good luck to Kolarov. Always maintained he was a good player for us, 3 managers haven't felt the need to replace him so he can't have been half as bad as some would suggest. Was often made a scapegoat due to poor tactical choices and other players not covering him leaving him looking poor when he was simply doing what was asked of him. Not going to be that easy to replace him, who out there is experienced, fits the Pep mould and would be content with predominantly a 4th choice centre back and 2/3rd choice fullback role?

Like Kolarov as a person but I'm glad he's finally done at City.

Some decent memories and good goals good luck in the future.
