I don’t think so at all. He’s no a left back but has done very well to play there for as long as he has for City. He’s very limited and gets ripped apart when attacked. He’s a top bloke and he has more heart than 90% of the team but run his career 100 times and in 90 of them he doesn’t stay at City as long as he has. He follows any number of CFG players than City sign and never play a dozen games for us.
If he was the ideal Pep player then we wouldn’t be replacing him at 25 and we wouldn’t have agreed a fee with Wolves for him two years ago.
I admire your obvious loyalty to players as they leave City but it’s sadly likely very one sided but fair fucks to you for feeling what you do about so many of our players.
Don’t think you get day release from HMP if found guilty regardless of your professionIf he goes, we'll be leaving ourselves light at the back. Zinny and Ake possibly (probably?) going. And, realistically, will Mendy be back irrespective of the outcome of his legal issues at the moment? Yes, Cucurella may well be coming. But even if he does, that's one defender in, possibly 3 out.

everything he does is exactly what Pep wants from a player.
Which strongly suggests Ake’s replacement will be a left sided defenderIf he goes, we'll be leaving ourselves light at the back. Zinny and Ake possibly (probably?) going.

I also feel that many players in this sport don’t deserve the fans they have as they see their career as being purely transactional. Very very few professionals care as much about the team as the average fan does.Erm, thanks I guess? If you want my complete honesty, I feel many of our fanbase (on here at least) do not deserve some of our players that have won the club the trophies.
I have no issue with any ayer leaving btw, never have. For whatever reason.
His career with us is more to do with deficiencies of other players, both in terms of fitness and apparent moral fibre.Fwiw, I don't disagree with your running his career 100 times analogy.
