The same bravo that was a world beater in la liga? Reina would struggle here just as much as bravo imo. If bravo wants out, and i dont blame him, then i understand it

Thanks,i'm of the opinion bravo will either be better for having a season here or sink again,it's a tricky one for pep,he has to make a good decision after last years mess he made of it

Problem is Karen, if ederson gets injured we rely on bravo, who if is anything like last year we're fucked.
Covering this possibility is seriously good management.

That was how many years ago? He is a good keeper, but he always had a howler in him at the dippers and if la liga is easier than the prem, which the bravo haters have insisted, surely serie a is no different.
perhaps i should revise my statement: there is a very good chance that reina will not be an improvement, but i suppose bravo must be going, in which case its great deal, as he is cheap and knows pep.

No worries. Definitely think Bravo is a confidence player which was apparent in the Confederations Cup- who honestly thought he would save those penalties even if they were poorly taken.
Yes-it's going to be tricky for City on how to manage this considering the the fee we paid for him. But then again there's nothing wrong with some healthy competition.

How many of those did Joe get again ? And he isn't good enough for us.

Very good post.
I liked the guy.
I'd have Hart as a cup 'keeper no problem, like Reina will be.
To suggest a player who played and thrived in this league already would struggle is a tad absurd.

Agreed. Another +1.

I suggested nothing, just pointed out the facts and don't forget he's a good few years older I'd be more than Joe as #2 but that boats long gone
So then. Fernando and Delph were left behind to discuss potential transfers. Joe is on his way to West Ham. Bravo and one of 2 others will travel separately but it looks like Bravo is off as we are talking to Reina.
Kelechi and Bony also talking to other club's
Nolito/Zaba/Clichy/Willy/Sagna/Navas gone.
This along with the incomings is a major overhaul of the squad.
It's obvious I know but I didn't see it until I actually stopped to think about it.
Biggest window since the take over.

It's a huge change. I don't think anyone realised the scale of the job that Pep really had, especially not the UK media.
I know you didn't.
My initial point was aimed solely at the poster who said Reina would struggle in the PL. As you then quoted me I assumed you at least acknowledged that point as there was nothing else to the post.

Quite easy to see where the money's coming from - Wages.

Stab in the dark here but I reckon he'll have a better season than bravo did.
