I see why we would get him, like toure, he is big strong and has great passing range but is quite slow. He has good experience and is fairly young so if he is cheap then go for it. But I worry that this is a bad sign for players like aleix and future stars like matt smith.

Hmmm, who should we, the fans, trust to identify players who best suit the needs of the squad and the style of football Guardiola wants, @93Aguero20, or Pep Guardiola? It's a tricky one...
On the one hand it's Guardiola, literally the one man who truly knows what he wants and can put that into action, and on the other it's some guy on the internet who watched some portuguese games and didn't like the player.
Carvalho is a 24 year old who's been average in the Portuguese league for a while. He was ousted by Danilo in the Portugal side this summer which in itself shows how poor he is.
He's slow, has a poor passing range and has been poor for the past few years. Saying "oh but Pep wants him" and then slagging off fellow City fans does nothing but make you look like an arse.

In my opinion, whining about a player who, if we have agreed to sign in March, is obviously someone Guardiola has been looking at for a long time and is very certain of, makes you look like an arse.
Why can people on here just say, "Well I personally didn't think too much of him, but Guardiola clearly knows what he's doing and if he wants him then Ok, he's probably going to at least be an upgrade on Fernando or Delph".
Why does it have to be "This is a fucking disaster, we're going to be more like Bournemouth than Barcelona, oh why is everything so awful!?".

Smith is only 16, Carvalho would be 30 by the time Smith is 21.
If for arguments sake Carvalho replaed Yaya, you've also got Fernandinho, Fernando, Delph who would leave long before then as well. It shouldn't worry him too much.

Carvalho is a bad signing because he's a bad player. He's not very good, as I've said he's slow and a very weak passer.
The fact no other half decent side wants him suggests his quality is also poor. Instead of buying average players we should be signing higher calibre players who'll take us forwards. Carvalho is not even as good as Fernando.

No, you think he's a bad player.
Clearly, Guardiola doesn't, and there's no reason for to not trust Guardiola's ability to find the players he wants.

Bravo slipped your mind? Could add Nolito too really.
