For all of you happy to see him go - do you think bringing Navas on instead of him would have had the same impact on Sunday?

I think bringing on Sane or Gundogan could have a similar impact.

Not happy to see someone with his talent go, but fine with it since his attitude stinks. Pep gave him a chance to stick around and fight for his place, and even praised his talent multiple times. But Samir said no. So goodbye.

Yes, but neither was available. And there sure as hell will come times this season when KdB, Silva et al won't be.

“When the pre-season is going to start I am going to be fresh so I hope that will help me and I will try to perform because when you have been out for so long you are more hungry when you come back. You don’t want to waste your time. You want to be back with a bang. If I stay working with Pep Guardiola, if he wants me, he’s just going to be a lucky man because I will be really hungry.

“I am the type of player for his philosophy and the way he likes his team to play so we are just going to see and on the first day of pre-season I will have a chat with him because I am going to be really hungry.”

Yep, it seems we can't offload our driftwood without taking a serious hit. Hope the rumours of Bony off to China in January are true as we should get a serious fee for him.

He is an incredible athlete, but has a terrible touch and very little passing ability. Not surprised in the slightest that Pep didn't fancy

True, but you could just as easily be describing Fernando there and he's still with us.
