Unused substitute in both CL finals. You would never know as he never complained publicly. Class. Big loss.

Thank you for your service Aymeric, good luck on your new adventure. Will always get a good welcome at the Etihad.

An absolute warrior for playing on at the end of the season even though injured because we had no-one else left. Gonna miss the guy but wish him well.

I think "underestimated" sums Eric up to a tee. All those years he was ignored by Deschamps for France and ended up qualifying and playing for Spain. Now he slips away from the European Champions to play in the Saudi League at the age of 29 ! I think City fans appreciated him fully and recognised his contribution over several seasons but how he's not been snapped up by a top European club is a mystery.Warrior. One of the most under valued and under estimated defenders around.
Thanks pal.

Also scored the goal at Brighton to put us in front in the 2019 title clincher. Quality player, all the best for the future.He gave his all for the shirt everytime he played. Got the winner in the final against Spurs and played through the pain barrier to help win us the title when our defence was decimated. All the best to him.

What a cock you are. He’s been consistently excellent for us for 5 and a half years, given his all in every game he played and played a major part in our success. In terms of quality, easily in the top ten central defenders we’ve had in the last 40 years. Yet you choose to pick up on the odd bad game and rumours about his attitude. Fuck offVery gracious goodbye and whatever we get is pretty well all profit so that's great.
But he made schoolboy mistakes at times and I think he cooked his goose with Pep after the home defeat by Spurs a couple of seasons ago. He was woeful in that so maybe that performance or his reaction after the criticism he would've got, led to him being sidelined. Wish him all the best though.

The partnership he built up with Vinny towards the end of 2018/19 was the foundation that enabled us to win the last 14 games to fend off Liverpool and he ended that season by scoring the winner against Brighton on the last day to seal the title. It's a goal that is often overlooked, perhaps because we scored two more, but what a huge moment that was in our rivalry with Liverpool. It's also easy to forget that he scored the only goal in a cup final.
As others have mentioned, playing through injury to get us over the line in 2021/22 when we were down to the bare bones is what I will remember him most fondly for, especially as it probably contributed to him losing his place the following season. That's what you call sacrificing your own interests for the good of the team.
His first season with us was the centurions and his last season with us was the treble. It's bittersweet to see a player leave who has been here for every trophy of the Pep era.
5 Premier League titles, 4 EFL Cups, 2 FA Cups and 1 Champions League. Not bad in just five and a half years.
A classy player and by all accounts a classy person. Thanks for the memories Eric.
