Alexsander Kolarov

When will this be made official?

At an event Besiktas have going on soon. Not sure exactly when but I'd be surprised if Kolarov is still a City player come next week.

When will this be made official?

doesn't sound like a fee has been agreed yet, at least according to media reports. They want us to let him go for free.

Didn't see him in the arrival pictures today, but assume he was given extra time off since Serbia had a free end of season friendlies.

Anyone saying he was great going forward is just making up information, been a part of our success and for that I thank him and wish him the best but he was average at best going forward and was very wasteful and was poor defensivly

This. He is one of those kinds of players who sometimes does miraculous things, but by and large on the basics makes his team worse.

Scores miraculous goals from ridiculous angles, 1 out of every 15 attempts. That's 14 shits that should never have been taken. Poor at recycling play, and lacked variety on his crosses. Funny enough I think he was actually better defensively when he cared. Didn't have the smoothest hip movement, but tackled hard and flew in like a don't give a shit defender, and was actually pretty solid in the air.

He wasn't great but was hard nosed. It's his possesion contributions that was most lacking. Hit crosses were dangerous but of the single hard grounder variety. When he went high he often overshot the whole box.

Thought he was a poor purchase at the time, and labored hard to like his character, thought his footballing lacked a level of intelligence required at the highest level.

He'd be a Cult hero fullback had he played at Watford or Fulham. But at the very top he lacked what it took to be efficient, and an overall positive for a top end club.

Soriano's words make me worried we might not be signing a left-back. Maybe Pep is relying on Clichy and possibly Peres covering as an inverted full-back? From what i understand, Pep used this at times with Bayern? If the "3,4,5" signings he said is taken literally. That would probably mean Sane, Stones and Peres, added to Gundo and Nolito.

A poor, thick footballer whose sole tactic was 'twat it as hard as possible' (even when there was a defender prostrate in front of him).

Good riddance, if you need a lift, let me know.

Astonishing that he has been here since 2010 and spent most of his career here. Dumbfounded as to how it was allowed to happen.

if you've got the opportunity to have a shit you should take it.

Pascal Cygan, Ronnie Wallwork and Aliadiere all won things too.
