I'm glad he chose the long term option. It shuts up the Kun speculation and gives Nacho man another sniff. I still have very high hopes for the Nacho man and think he's going to be very important for us.

No. Theyre far too thin

Agree 100%, they fold over way too easy

I'd been thinking the same thing.

Read somewhere that pep has told him to work harder in training if he wants to be considered for a first team start.

Crikey.

On that basis, if Nacho also has somehow become 'persona non grata' in Pep's eyes , from now until the end of the season, we might see the re-appearance of the false No.9 in certain games.............unless Fernandhino (or anyone else ??) can display further versatility by filling in at centre forward !!???

All in all, it's a problematic situation for us.

Fernandinho, the new James Milner.

Phew; that does seem a contradiction of terms

Hope this doesn't mean he'll be transferring to the Dippers (to play at full back ??).

Not a chance with Iheaneacho , Pep given him loads of chances and game time , the kid scores goals but his overall play doesn't suit Peps style and he hasn't listened or adapted to Peps/ our style , Pep is frustrated to fuck with him do keep up !

God help us !

Interesting he opted for the knife and doubled his recovery period - Pep no doubt had a say in the decision.

Gab to good to take a chance on JC, absolute dynamite player we have all been waiting for and so young and strong , Proper bummer he is injured just as we have momentum and options but CL apart we have a fairly easy month game wise so hopefully he will be back in time for dippers , arse and chavs ?

Jesus is a quick healer.

Never forget.

Boring James did have plenty of chances to play in the middle, but he was never good enough to displace Yaya, Silva, or anyone else we had in the position. Not enough creativity or cutting edge. Solid work ethic and can strike the ball well, so he was useful out wide where he doesn't have to think too much about the rest of the game. Like a bland, hardworking Kolarov. And it seems Klopp has come to the exact same conclusion

I think Ian will score more goals as both Leroy & Raheem are putting more quality balls into the 6 yard box right now. I think he'll thrive

This utter turd of a player tried to pull the wool over many City fans....in fact , he did so to many on this site.

Not me though , I said he was a little lying cunt with an agenda to move for free and claim a huge signing on fee......the yorkie cunt knew exactly what he doing.

His positional play is piss poor and he keeps drifting offside . Word is Pep has given him time out to improve this and adjust , we will see whether he gets another chance in the next few weeks ? no ?

You'll have seen him as much as I have. He doesn't 'want it' enough. Nowhere near enough. I don't understand it.

I think he wants it alright pal but not coping with what is wanted of him has set him back .Square pegs and round holes and all that .

They did filter tipped Woodbines as well, we used to buy them singly from the local dodgy shopkeeper when I was a lad in the 70's.
This was in Aldershot, so you should remember that if you're old enough.
