based on what exactly? fantasy or fact?Surely Maffeo is a better option?!
maybe pep has said you can stay but you are forbidden to attempt any crossing? :-)
i like the lad, he seems a genuinely nice bloke in a football world full of wankers but hes got to be the most infuriating city player i have ever seen..

What's this based on?
He's played well whenever given a chance, and Pep said the only reason he wasn't playing was because he needed some more experience playing in front of big crowds in matches which meant something so he could handle pressure. So he goes on loan to Girona to get that experience playing in a promotion fight and does well.
He's ticked the only box Pep said he needed to tick, so I'd say thats enough basis.
can't offer my opinion on how maffeo has played whilst in girona as I haven't seen it. I imagine pep has. Can't offer my opinion on navas in training as I haven't seen it. I imagine pep has.What's this based on?

What I can say is having watching navas and maffeo in the games they've played this season; navas is shite, maffeo is raw. I'd bring back maffeo and send navas as far away as possible (not that any self-respecting club would pay navas a weekly wage). But i'm not paid 15 million quid a year to make these decisions and pep is, and there's probably a reason for that
How about we give youth a fucking chance? We will be buying a new starting RB so why not give Maffeo the back up spot? The kid who has played well every chance he's been given. Surely that is more sensible than keeping a 31 year old player who can't defend and struggles to cross the ball. Also sends a good message to the rest of the kids in the academy.
Extending old players contracts has got us into this fucking mess to start with.

Yer can't have too many Jesuses in yer team. We could do with a couple of Archangels as FBs and an HG as CB!

"We can't know, it's up to Pep" - A great attempt to shut down discussion, but you don't need to know how he's played. Pep already said his level of play was good enough, he just needed experience in high pressure situations with proper crowds, and he's done that.
