De Gea was 20 years old when he joined United. Bravo was 33 when he joined City. De Gea had the luxury of "having time", Bravo hasn't in my opinion. When you send a proven, good enough goalkeeper like Hart away and replace him with a 33 year old who then flops and who has not shown even a glimpse of being better than Joe Hart at preventing goals... then you deserve getting a bit of stick I think.

Mate, you need to get over this Joe was good enough thing. In any other system than Peps, not many would disagree, although Joe had a lot of mistakes in him, but for us today, Joe would be a disaster. He hasnt the calmness nor footballing ability to pull it off.
Bravo has all the facets in his game, we just haven't seen them this season for whatever reason, but he is an upgrade for what we are looking to achieve. For me, it is confidence, and with a better defence in front of him, I believe that will return.
 
When Pep came out and said that Claudio is one of the top three sweeper keepers in the world I interpreted that as he is going nowhere this summer.

I personally feel its gone past that now mate.

His head has completely gone and from the start, he has had the look of a man that had made a mistake in coming here and wasn't enjoying it one bit.

I cant see him being here next season at all despite what Pep will say about the lad.

I don't agree, Joe would not have been any worse than Bravo has been. The fact that Bravo makes Caballero look great is proof enough for me.

Pep always defends his players in public, even if he plans to kick them out tomorrow. Though judging by contract situation I expect us to give Bravo as many chances as possible to prove his worth till the end of season. It would be too difficult to move him for for a reasonable price, and he's potentially a very good 2nd/cup keeper.
