I truly hope last night fools someone to buy him from us. If that's too much to ask I would also take a loan as well (no fee needed if deal lasts until his deal expires)

Bravo had as many saves in the penalty shootout (3) as he did for City in the league in 2017.....
(i dont know how many league games he even played in 2017)
I'm not really a City fan. I'm just here for attention.

Last night, just before half-time, he also made a save from Ronaldo.

The shot was going to hit him in the face, so he pushed the ball away with his hands.

Still, it was a save of sorts and elicited a positive comment from Hoddle ("good strong pair of hands").

He faced one penalty in a City shirt last season and saved it.

Trouble is, if he can actually dive to save penalties, why can't he dive to save other shots during a game ??

All we have to do is foul a player every time he's about to shoot. Defensive problem solved

He must have doubled his transfer value tonight.


Which makes his transfer value all of 4 pennies instead of two.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

You're right NQDP, perhaps I was being a little overly-optimistic.

In hard cash terms, could he be worth from about 2 to 2.5% of a Pogba, on current London Stock Exchange prices ??........Who knows ??

Honestly, and I'm not kidding here, considering the wages he is on and regardless of transfer fee because he hasn't slapped in transfer request we'd be forced to pay remaining of his contract we'd be best off paying someone to take him.

I've got an increasingly uneasy feeling NQDP, that Pep is going to spring a nasty surprise on us all and retain Bravo as our No1.

That really would be a nightmare scenario.

And if he does he deserved to be sacked .

I refuse to believe that Ederson was brought in as anything other than first choice keeper. I don't know much about him and it worries me that his best forte apparently is that he is two footed. Who gives a shit if goalkeeper is two footed or not? But surely he has to be better than Bravo by default.
