How's that for homework


You get a C ,,,,,, at best.

Feenandhino was 28 /29 when he was at his peak and it was 2013/14 season when he scored 5 goals and 3 assists.
And he had 3 seasons when he did not score one single goal in the premiership for Man City.

Come on Carl- you must do better.
He also scored 5 and 3 assists in 17/18 as stated.
He had 2 seasons without a goal.
He had no seasons without an assist.


Make your mind up ffs !!

''He didn't have one season with us with no goals''
''He had 2 seasons without a goal''

You sound like Kamala fucking Harris.

Seems like Girona have the green light to talk with Echeverri.

Nothing to do with being benched for 90% of the big games, not because Pep clearly sees him as Haaland’s understudy no matter what he fucking does, not because he wants to be a starter in his prime years at one of the biggest clubs on earth. Nope — he just really missed the Spanish sun.

Give your head a wobble mate .


Alvarez played more minutes than anyone else just prior to being sold due to Haaland and KDB being injured. I agree we should not have sold him, but he wanted out because he couldn't settle in Manchester - he also put in a transfer request so not exactly a good example to use of Pep 'bombing out' players he doesn't want to play

IMO he was pissed off playing second fiddle and forced into midfield (which I say we would do when he signed.. )


it was widely reported at the time that he was struggling to settle in Manchester and didn't like the weather

He only started most matches when Haaland or KDB were injured.He was benched or marginalized in Champions League knockouts, domestic finals, and league six-pointers.He was played out of position often, even when form justified a more central role yet despite all that he still had 28 goal contributions in 2023–24.
Alvarez missed most key games at City, and when he did feature, it was often late or not in his best role. That’s a huge part of why he pushed for a move — fuckall to do with the rain sleet or fuckign snow !

Most of alvarez' minutes were in midfield.

Re hating Manchester we've never seen any quotes whatsoever. Seemed to love it zooming about in his super car and not paying for his coop self serve shops

We also won the treble so hard to criticise team selection.

There's absolutely no quotes in that mate. It's the Express saying that Sam Lee said so.

I just said it was reported at the time. I only dug that out to prove to myself more than anything that I hadn't just made it up.

On the whole I agree that it's mostly bollocks whenever the press reports on any player wanting to leave because of the weather.

However I think we've been sidetracked. Id just said apart from Philips I couldn't remember any other expensive signings that Pep bombed out pretty much instantly.

This is an example of a player that wanted to leave for more game time apparently (even though he's played more than anyone else) and the others given were low key or low cost youngsters who couldn't break into our first team squad. Not one is a player we've spent big on and Peps instantly wanted to sell 6 months later. So this rumour (also based on bollocks in the press with no quotes) about Nico G isn't the next in a recurring pattern. Which is the only point i originally made
