Claudio Bravo

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

What does being England's number 1 have to do with anything? It's City that I give a fuck about. Not England and not Hart. Every player is replaceable. You think people are rags because they agree that Bravo is a good signing? You have a good boo mate if he drops a bollock. Top blue award goes to you.

Well said Pab. This 100%

Going to be awkward signing Bravo and having Willy and Joe. Perhaps we go with Willy and Joe works on his distribution. I am sure it can be improved with training. He doesn't have to be David Silva, he just needs to be competent.

I have read your posts for years. You simply cannot be this naive. Joe is done. He will never play for City again. Ever.

Bravo needs to show he is clearly better than Hart, there is nothing controversial about that. If he isn't clearly better, then what was the point?
If he makes mistakes like that free kick vs Betis, fans will not be happy about one of the most popular players being forced out. Pretty straight forward really, if he is brilliant then people will forget about hart pretty quickly. No one is crying out for Mangala or regretting MDM leaving because Stones' performances have been top notch, Bravo's job will be considerably harder replacing our longest serving player and our 2nd/3rd best player last season.

too right, as much as its ok for all those who suddenly decided that Joe is shit.

This is such a strawman argument. Nobody is saying he is shit.

He is clearly better at the part that Pep needs him to be. The rest is subjective but it's not even a close call when it comes to playing from the back. That's the whole point.

He could easily be here for 3/4 years so plenty of time to find his successor.

Rulli.

Apparently so mate but I'm to going to pretend I know much about him or have seen him in action enough to judge. He's highly rated by the club though so hopefully he lives up to his potential.

I agree, just saying he has no room for error. Especially with the passing,if we concede due to a poor pass out from the back, it will be brutal.

I'd say 1/2 years at tops as Pep has a 3 yr deal and we all want our long term #1in place before that contracts up.

Well I hope those willing to shit on him for any errors are going to be big enough to give him credit if he doesn't drop the bollocks it seems some are hoping for.
