DNA Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 1 hour ago, Happy Blue said: So you saying Pep has never bought any black players? I’m talking about his current squad, with all 3 out-going players being black with just the one remaining African player with a beneficial light skin complexion.

Whenever he has taken charge of a club, he usually eases out black players to have a whiter team, now at city he’s gone the extra mile though . I’m sure there will be sections of the white working class City lads who will lap it up but it’s getting a bit odd now to all just be a coincidence with Pep.

Danny Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 16 hours ago, DNA said: With Ake & Sterling now off, it appears Yaya Toure might have been on to something, Pep now has zero dark skin players at City. It doesn't help that they've signed a striker that looks like an SS officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Despite serious words from Yaya Toure and the like, it’s just been a bit of an in-joke amongst fans observing Pep’s squads and chalked off as a ‘coincidence’ but it’s just getting a bit odd now, that’s all.

In fairness he did bring in Nathan Ake and Pep is literally the reason why Sterling became a 20+ goal striker. Plus Fernandinho and Kompany were main stays in his team, he signed Mendy, Gabriel and Walker…I don’t think it particularly stands up when you look at his record of signing players at City. Was Toure’s issues specifically about black players or African players? Feel like it was African but could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted July 11, 2022 Administrator Share Posted July 11, 2022 Mahrez, Slimani, Musa, Ndidi, Mendy, Benalouane, Schlupp, Wague. All played in 16/17 season for us. Will have to see each fixture if any 5 of them played at same time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had 4 on the pitch at once (Salah, Mane, Keita, Matip) - I think Chelsea have too. And looking at that... I think Leicester probably did as well.

Mahrez counts as African, why? Because he plays for Algeria? He is from France. But then why doesn't Walker count, he has African heritage. Why does Kompany count? He is from Belgium, why does Fernandinho count? He is from Brazil. Then people would say a prick like Kevin Pietersen isn't African despite being from the bloody place. Is it the geographic location or is an ethnicity thing? Is it both? Is it neither? people can't even agree on that shit. who cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadLinesman Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Thanks for the info, genuinely surprised. I meant it more because of the league we are in. Right now, there’s one African team in the top 20 fifa rankings. As an island with little immigration compared to Europe, is have though we’d also have less British players of African decent than say France/Germany etc in the league.
