Your point was that Pep washed his hands of him, he didn’t, he sold him for good money, completely different things.My point still stands I think. I was arguing against someone who suggested we bring in, either an academy product, or a cheap DM, who nobody else has heard of to fill the Jorginho role, because, and I quote him: “working with Pep will automatically make an average player into a good one, a good player into a great one, and a great player into a world class one”
Which in my opinion, is truly b*llocks

Even the great managers dont always get it right when purchasing players .Very few if any were concerned when we lashed out £27 million for Wilfied Bony He was a prolific goal getter at Swansea he was on 20 plus goals, and we were only in January when we bought him i dont need to say more suffice to say football is full of players that come with extremely high expectations and flop its a bit of a lottery really

Just couldn't get used to the lack of headbutting in the English game.
Even Nolito started like a house on fire, he just dropped off real quick and I think never really got comfortable in England.

Really? Thought it was pretty obvious he was gonna flop, was never going to fit our style of play.Even the great managers dont always get it right when purchasing players .Very few if any were concerned when we lashed out £27 million for Wilfied Bony He was a prolific goal getter at Swansea he was on 20 plus goals, and we were only in January when we bought him i dont need to say more suffice to say football is full of players that come with extremely high expectations and flop its a bit of a lottery really

Tricky Ricky Holden and Nigel Clough duly acknowledged, I think Nolito was probably the slowest professional footballer ever to lace up a pair of boots. Dudley Moore’s unidexter Mr Spigot would have beaten him in a race......

No he wasn’t EB, don’t know how old you are mate, but that honour is won hands down, in perpetuity, by a Mr Fredrick Hill Esq. Signed for City from Halifax Town, (via Bolton Wanderers), by Big Mal in 1970.Tricky Ricky Holden and Nigel Clough duly acknowledged, I think Nolito was probably the slowest professional footballer ever to lace up a pair of boots.
Made Tricky Ricky Holden look like Touché Turtle :-)

Ha ha, just a fraction too old for me mate. First live game I saw was 1974, so I never had the pleasure of seeing said Mr Hill play!
