Welcome Benjamin Mendy

[taleofbluehalves]

I'm just remembering the anger on here about Roque Santa Cruz ("crocky", to some of our less diplomatic posters).

Those were the days....
Can't be too long until he's fit.

It was mentioned in the Tosin thread. Paddy doesn't know how to react, hahah.

Ha ha - Balo the 2nd!

Great tweet.

Really warmed to this guy already. Seems like a great fit in the dressing room and looks like he's at home with the rest of the squad already.

His instagram story from last night was makes him seem so down to earth, hanging with that young Braydon.

Can't wait to see him play!

Slightly typical city signing though that he won't be fit to start the season!? Lol

 

[yeah whatever !!]

I love him already, and he's not played a single minute for us.

Using that for the Benjamin Mendy chant am putting together.

watch this space.

Does anyone actually know how bad the injury is?

If I'm right it's a muscle injury (thigh, more specifically) and I don't know whether Pep just misspelled something but I can recall that in one of his press conferences he said it's been an ongoing problem for 10 months for him. Could be true that he played with an injury when the season ended and they had important games, as he even missed one or two.

We all know how seriously Pep and his fitness staff see muscle injuries, so I think the club will make it absolutely sure that he's going to fully recover now. Now that we have also Danilo, I think we should be just fine.

Love.

He seems a really lovely guy with a great sense of humour and an appreciation for his supporters, and the exchanges between him and his teammates have been fantastic to read.

Some of these tweets are absolute gems by the way:

Translation: Good luck to the defenses in Ligue 1 #sorry #notsorry lol [RE Neymar's move to PSG]

Then a PSG fan replies "So that's why you left City?" to which Mendy replies (in French) "lol I felt the wind turn".

He THEN goes on to accuse PSG of copying him in their Neymar announcement tweet by posting something that roughly translates into "I already did that":


I'm not quite sure what this one means but it was clearly a jibe at Bernardo Silva's expression in the picture he's replying to, to which Bernardo replies something along the lines of 'Go to bed you!!!" and Mendy just puts a load of laughing emojis.

Think he's gonna be a real fan favourite. Let's just hope he's decent :)

 

[shemnel]

maybe he'll never play, maybe he's been signed to send funny tweets

In which case it's still brilliant business! We needed our very own Batshuayi; finally City found that market gap. :)

 

[Kompany is King]

Do we know when he might debut for City?
