Claudio Bravo

[adrianr]

Out of respect to Joe, they should leave it until tomorrow. Especially if he's playing tonight.

Awaiting the story in tomorrows papers that Bravo was disrespectfully waiting in the stands whilst Joe played his last game for City.

City have to wait until Thursday to announce Bravo, with Barca holding on to his registration until they sign his replacement. [Mirror]

Hope this is true. Out of respect for Joe, no announcement should be made till tomorrow anyway, especially if he plays.

What the fuck do Scottish footballers know about football.

Or the ability of goal keepers

Charlie Adam won fuck-all, doubt he will make a manager,

He'll make a manager alright, owner-manager of a shithole pub in Cranhill.

They might skip that one since he's not actually in Italy.

He already sponsors a team in The Blackpool and Fylde Sunday Alliance (surprisingly not a pub team!!). That will be about his level I suspect.

Are they the ones that run around with 'ugly ****' on the front of their kits?

It wasn't just those two, though was it. Big Dave Watson, Asa, Kiddo, Joe Royle & Dennis Tueart were also told that thère services were no longer required, shortly after "Big Mal's second coming in 1979.

Malcolm Allison, was, is, and will always remain, an absolute City legend, in my eyes, for all the successes he helped us achieve the 60's.... And ensuring that the rags got more than their fair share of hefty kicks up the arse, en route.

But even I have to admit, that the ruthless dismantling of a squad, that had come within a gnat's gnadger of pipping the candle dippers to the title, a year or so earlier, and replacing the departees with. the likes of Steve Daley, Micheal Robinson, Paul Sugrue & Barry Silkman, was foolhardy in the extreme. The mere memory of it, still makes me wince, even now.

I totally agree with you, it was criminal. In fact imo that dismantling of that side and replacing them with inferior players whilst at the same time spending fortunes on those replacements was probably the begining of the downward spiral that we all subsequently had to endure. Did we pay £1.4m for Steve Daley back then? and how much is that in todays money?

Yea. Total vandalism from which we took decades to come back from.

 

[urban genie]

So has he signed today and when can we expect the 'song for bravo thread'

 

[Metalartin]

In before a post about Barcelona, but fuck me, I haven't calculated the averages yet, but it feels like we went from one of the Prem's tallest teams under Mancini (if not the tallest), to one of the shortest teams right now.

Oh that was just for goalkeepers not outfield players.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Since when has Charlie Adam been the voice of reason when it comes to transfers?

Well he was signing of the summer window in 2011 beating Sergio "not value for money" Aguero.

Don't you know that British players are always better and have nothing to learn from Jonny Foreigners like Bravo?

Sky Sports Transfer Centre.

Adam said something along the line of "he's 33, he'll cost 17 million, he's not as good as Hart, seems a waste of money"

Cascerino also said Hart was a better shot stopper than Bravo and teams will target him from corners.

You need to be able to get a touch of the ball to win a corner.

Actually by definition that's the last thing you want
