Claudio Bravo

[Phil1]

Not particularly fussed about this signing. I don't think he will improve the team this year and the change is likely going to cause more pain than gain. There were far bigger priorities to tackle this window. Agreed with most here that he will be savaged the first mistake he makes.

If you're not fussed then I can only presume you've not been paying attention. It was in fact one of our biggest priorities and was being worked on harder than any other signing.

Andy Carroll is out for our game so he should find it an easier game to make his debut

He won't be savaged by me at all. I think he will allow us to play the way the manager wants. So what if mistakes are made they would have been whatever. There are so many intangibles in a game that going down that route is futile. Bravo is coming to play for City and that who I support so I will back him when he plays for us 100%.

What do you think would hapen to Joe, if he played & made mistakes ? Especially goalkeeping mistakes ?

The media will let him off, after the euros, even though they know he isn't a Guardiola style keeper ?

Whatever happened, play or don't play Hart, there was gpoing to be a load of focus on he keeper position.

When he did play, pre season, his performance was an absolute Sky MUTV dream. That, in the Prem, would be on every tv station & every sports news outlet, everywhere, as a crack in City's armour they can exploit.

Media punditry is part of challenging to be the best, so I expect that wouldn't have even entered into the mindset. There is a story out already stating that Tixi has told Joe that he needs to leave this window because "Guardiola has been taken aback by support for Hart from former players like Joey Barton and Frank Lampard, and is worried about being seen as the manager who pushes Hart out of the door."

The stories are going to come either way, but if that is really what happened to Joe, then Guardiola didn't come off strong, he looks a weasely dick and will in no way inspire team spirit as he likes to call it. I don't necessarily buy into the hype that simply having Pep makes us a better team. He had the best keeper in the world at Bayern and he didn't really elevate that teams level. A fair portion of pundits would call his time at Bayern a failure because they brought him there to win the CL and he failed 3 times at the same spot against Spanish competition.

Is this the same J Hart the media has slagged all through the euros ? Blaming England's exit on.

Fuck em, they'd slag Messi off if we ever signed him.

Indeed they would. The two players blames for England's exit both play for City. The added advantage in Raheem's case is that he left the wonderful LFC. The press won't let it go whatever we do so the best thing is just to concentrate on ourselves and let them carry on with their Ibra and Klopp lovefest.

I find that pep leaving out the so called mischief men ( Hart...yaya...nasri..)who pellers was so scared to drop has pulled and galvanised this bunch of players closer together and they have not been missed one bit...I for one will not miss Hart one bit,but each to there own....Hart will only be pissed off because he knows he will be no part of whats going to happen in the future at God's own club....he knew what was coming and had more than enough time to change his game...his first kick and hoof up against arsenal sealed his own fate...pep is not pellers he will manage with balls ...Joe under estimated the man

Sure you are not Macmanaman. "Weasely dick" ? WTF. Pep won't even know who the **** Barton is never mind pay attention to anything he says. As for Lampard. He played one season. Ex players my arse.

They would be dickheads though.
