Can't help it, I really love this guy. Brilliant player back in Monaco, his Twitter is hilarious. I was truly gutted when City got him, exactly a player we needed
Is he stupid? FFS!
I think that much is undeniable at this point.Is he stupid? FFS!
Image if he took more time to recover due to this stupid behaviour.I think that much is undeniable at this point.
For £54m though? Not sure we can actually afford to spend that much on a full back.Can't help it, I really love this guy. Brilliant player back in Monaco, his Twitter is hilarious. I was truly gutted when City got him, exactly a player we needed
A bit of attention seeker this guy.Seems to have great team spirit but not sure what was more foolish from him, running down the touchline with his surgically repaired knee or tweeting a photo of him as he embraced Sterling
I really never understood the need to tweet a photo in that moment, especially if you are part of the team - you'd think the real emotional reaction would be to embrace the moment rather than pose for a photo. Then again I don't understand people recording the matches on their phones live rather than just watching itA bit of attention seeker this guy.
It's obscene money, but they got a player who might as well be a leading PL left back for another 10 years. I'm not sure if we could afford that, but Mendy is class.For £54m though? Not sure we can actually afford to spend that much on a full back.
That's what Shaw was supposed to be.It's obscene money, but they got a player who might as well be a leading PL left back for another 10 years. I'm not sure if we could afford that, but Mendy is class.
Ahh, come off it. We loved Evra and we would've loved Mendy if he was playing for us.A bit of attention seeker this guy.

He'll be barely fit for the WC, never mind being match fit. He'll need some months to get back into form after an injury like that.Aw man, I hope he can make it for the world cup, might be a stretch but he's the only LB I want to see put on a French jersey right now.
I'm afraid you might be right. I'd be surprised if they even pick him for the WC squad but one can always hope.He'll be barely fit for the WC, never mind being match fit. He'll need some months to get back into form after an injury like that.
Sandro might just convince us!For £54m though? Not sure we can actually afford to spend that much on a full back.

His first touch and general ball control stuck out like a sore thumb today. At times I thought he had dyspraxia. He drove me mental for 70 minutes (see the match thread) but we kept a clean sheet at the Emirates and he assisted both the goals (the second being a great cross). Also he was completely lost on a few Arsenal counter attacks. Walker seems to have a much better sense of when to bomb forward and when to keep him position.Two assists already but there are parts of his game that need to improve to be one of the best. In particular I think he’ll need to improve his general play on the ball to be a mainstay in Peps side.
Does seem a bit weird, especially when they’re basically forced to sit around and rest for several hours most days. I think “social media” is getting used as a euphemism for generally dicking about and not being focussed on football.How much time or effort do managers think that it takes to send a tweet or post a pic?
90% of the top players don't use their own Twitter account by themselves.How much time or effort do managers think that it takes to send a tweet or post a pic?
I have a group of people working under me, some of them post all the time on Facebook or instagram and being able to see what the lazy feckers are up to is pretty handy.
If Twitter was around in the in the 90s, you know Fergie would using it to check up on Lee Sharpe on a daily basis.
I think this obsession on social media is ridiculous. Would managers not prefer their players fannying about on social media rather than being out there chasing the devil's temptation in the form of alcohol, drugs and gambling? It's ridiculous honestly, you may pay these players hundreds of thousands a week but you can't control them ffs.Does seem a bit weird, especially when they’re basically forced to sit around and rest for several hours most days.

Smart point, especially the last sentence.Does seem a bit weird, especially when they’re basically forced to sit around and rest for several hours most days. I think “social media” is getting used as a euphemism for generally dicking about and not being focussed on football.
If needed, Pep would just revert to Delph though right? Was very dependable there last season.Looks like a possible weak link this season. Although he won’t stay this rusty much longer.
Responds to criticism for being on social media too much by posting on social media about it.Better way to react to critisism.
