Navas on his way ?

Exactly if Nasri had shown the commitment of Navas kept himself in shape and given 100% every time he was on the pitch , he would have been one hell of a player.

Fair point, one of the reasons we should be adamant about getting shot of the fat joker. Been stealing a living for a while now, hasn't consistently contributed anything for at least 2 years now.

Kolarov, Nasri, Bony.

Get shot off all of them as a matter of priority. Wages off the books and room in the squad for players with the right attitude and quality.

Could name more, but like others have said, Navas is a limited player but he has the right attitude and could fulfil a squad role.
 
Lots of talk of him leaving and I wouldn't be happy or sad whether he stayed or left, but it looks now like at most points of this season Sane will be starting and Jesus would be a nightmare for an exhausted LB if he were to come on fresh late in the game.
 
Considering everyone used to hide from his passing since the Beast went, I would be amazed if his stats didn't improve significantly with more to aim at from the coaching these players are going to get, his commitment, energy, ball control and retention is second to none and he is a better player than he's been afforded by MP. Can't shoot for shit though.
 
Sunny coast blue is right,he's the Spanish Arron lemon,but more beautiful,runs to the bi-line turns into ray Charles,even zabba puts in better crosses.

Thought so Karen. I believe this was because the beast was prepared to get into the box, whereas Kun seems (certainly last season) to want to hover outside the box.

Navas and Negredo had developed a partnership from years of playing together at Sevilla prior to coming to City. They were purchased in the same window together for that reason. Once Negredo left, he wasn't ever really able to establish that connection with any of the other big men we've had as strikers.

You can coach a bad player to become better, but you can't coach bad attitude out of someone. It's ingrained in one's personality. Nasri could have been so much more, but I think its time to move on and look to the future.
 
Perhaps he will be on his way in Jan, I can't imagine we have brought Gabriel Jesus in for him to sit on the bench. Nor will Navas want to do that.

Keep him for 6 months, gives us good squad depth.

The problem is Navas appears to be the only player anybody is willing to splash the cash on. The other guys are paid too much and unwilling to trade down
 
I think Sevilla have us over a barrel on Navas. When he leaves he'll probably only go there. He has one year left and we need to shift some players. They can low ball us all they want unless we can find a space for him in our squad.

Yea. We need to move players on and with Sane and all the other options, Navas is surplus. It will be a low fee but the sooner the better for all concerned. Wish we could shift another 3 or 4.

Yeah hence why Nasri only has to change his attitude. As you sat he has the talent. Navas doesn't. Pep clearly wants talented players who apply themselves correctly. Not less talented ones who have the right attitude.

Yeh hence why Nasri is on his way :-D ... Look at the players Pep has booted from previous clubs and you'll see some were amongst the most talented footballers in world football, its all about the culture first and foremost with Pep, yes he's just been lucky enough to work with some of the most talented footballers at Barca and Bayern but when all said and done I'm pretty sure he would rather work at improving a player like Navas who's willing to listen and give 100% for the team than put up with a prima donna like Nasri....
 
Fair point MCFC-4Heatons,but navas is a slightly better Arron Lennon,always to the byline shite cross,can't hit the target KDB would be perfect there,his passing and procession of the ball is second only to sliva,thanks Jesus but your not our savoir
 
Navas has been playing very well in the pre-season games.He seems to be playing with a new freedom and confidence, ( except for that one miss v Arsenal). If Sane is really out for close to 2 months it may be wise to keep Navas until Christmas.

Think, as earlier mentioned he has looked a lot better in these last couple of friendlies. I fully expect to see him here this season, with plenty of game time too.
