This signing makes me very uncomfortable.
I don’t need my footballers to have a heart of gold, but streaming and singing a xenophobic, racist, homophobic and transphobic chant crosses the line for me. A public apology that doesn’t even specifically name the issues doesn’t cut it.
£125m is also a poor use of funds.
We’re signing a player with great (not unique) qualities on ball, who introduces off ball issues and needs to be accommodated; I don’t consider the trade off to be worth it.
I hope he does well for City, because I’m a City fan. I’ll celebrate when he scores, because City will have scored. But he’s a player I will never support nor like.
