"The guy was god awful, a disgrace to football, his family, and I never want to see his face again... but with all due respect."

Player: *exists* Buvey: he's just not good enough 🗿

Nice to see someone actually understand how great Grealish is lol

Enjoyed this cheers for having me on!

As a city fan this guy should never be allowed to do this again, the man’s a fool

There is no way City win that treble without Haaland.

Finally a JLA video with actual positivity about city in it

1:00 Jimbo, don’t think we didn’t hear you almost say that Joe Rogan was playing between the City sticks.

City would win the treble without Haaland? WORST TAKE EVER. As a City fan, I want to let everyone know that not all of our fans lack this much sense & knowledge

Important context on Kalvin: he immediately got injured and was out for the first half of his debut season, never getting that important bedding in period. Not saying it would’ve worked out, but it’s only fair to mention (not that Buvey has ever worried about being fair, bless him)

Bravo was god-awful. Not just the fact that he let every shot in he faced (I think it was genuinely 60% at one point at the start of the season), but he also couldn't play with his feet under pressure, which was the one thing he was brought in to do.

The way Buvey talks about his team’s players is the exact kind of way I’d expect a Man City fan to. Little playthings until they wobble a little bit, then they’re just discarded in favour of the shiny new thing. Have some respect fella

Buvey is right Scott Carson as a third choice keeper is there cause they won’t play and are there to bring good energy to the club

Buvey is up there with McKola as one of the absolute worse “football YT influencers” lol always spewing absolute nonsense just to get the viral clips. Should’ve gotten Ciaran Carlin instead tbh

City fan here. Can’t stand buvi

Horrendous take on Kovacic.

Buvey: I’ve based this list only on quality alone nothing else Also Buvey: Scott Carson has to be above people like Torres because he brings vibes

Buvey makes it clear he hasn't been a city supporter all that long, no matter if he claims otherwise.

This didn't aged well, Doku was man of the match yesterday. It's a joke to putt him this low

Kalvin above Bravo?!!! Bravo was the cup GK at a point and he's won cups.

If Bevey says "Trebble winning campaign" one more time, I'm going to scream.

Buvey is a little too harsh on some of the players, Nunes and especially Kovacic have been decent when they have played but because they don't play often enough they don't catch the rhythm of games

I don’t understand Jim’s opinion on Ake. Easily been the best LB in the PL for two seasons going, statistically a monster of a player. Arguably the player of the season for City behind Haaland and Rodri last year in a treble season. He’s overall been a better player than Akanji and Laporte, for example. He’s so underrated. I don’t understand why he gets slept on as a player. Is it literally just because he was signed from Bournemouth? While he’s obviously the greatest player we’ve ever had, I see him doing exactly what he does for us for City. Such a reliable tackler, dominant in the air, pops up with important goals. Completely controls the left flank defensively. I’d have thought Jim would be more of a fan tbh.

I’d love James to get ty on and rank arsene wenger signings, but he has to take everything ty says seriously and go along with it like he’s a sane person.

come on man. This guy is such a toxic prat. Saying that Zinchenko cant possibly be a leader because "he was crying on tv", while his country was in a war. Get these "tough guys" out of here. They deserve no platform

Erling goals dont matter? i understand why Adam is saying Mancity will win the treble without him, but the thing is they didn't without him. and Erling was the UEFA player of the year. sorry just saying

24:46 Buvey as a fellow cityzen I have to disagree with this one. Doku is part of a post-pep plan. I feel like you don’t like a lot of the 23/24 signings, but you have to take into account that they are all in their first season and they will adapt and become crucial to the team. When it comes to Doku I feel like end product is the main issue, but in buildup he’s much better.

Make sure you check out both pods with Buvey! He’s awesome 👏🏻 ❤

Buvey talks and I just switch off mate 😅

I think Bernardo and Gundo were better signgings than Stones and Dias. Both individually cheaper, Gundo had more longevity and was captain for the treble seasons, Bernardo versatility just insane and never got injured which cannot be said for Stones and Dias. Thats not to say Dias won't overtake them later though.

Good video, enjoyed this.

Great video. Shoutout mahrez and sane

Could you add timestamps for each player for vids like this please

Saying that price is irrelevant and “ abstract”, and then bringing up the price that kalvin Philips was bought for on the NEXT player talked about, is the most Buvey thing..

doku to me, like your describing, is like haaland, except it was more the first 25-30 games he was banger, since then it feels like hes been a bit figured out

What planet did Buvey come from?

Stones, Rodri, Mahrez, Grealish and many others had dodgy first seasons under Pep before blossoming. For that reason you cannot rate Doku, Nunes or Kovačić until the end of next season or before if Pep does a Kalvin Phillips and stops playing them.

Not world class yet? He won the World Cup. That should prove how good he is. He isn't starting only because he doesn't fit the role that Pep needs right now.

Buvey is such a disgrace. He is saying Gareth Barry has more rhythm to play than Mateo Kovacic. WTF

Buvey is such a weapon. HITC Sport fired him so fast

Yeah Alvarez up there for me as well, also cos his goal knocked my country Australia out of the World Cup aha..

The Ake disrespect. Any city fan worth his salt knows that the guy has been a massive player and signing for us. So rarely exposed, so much control. His impact is greater than Super Jack just cause he is Mr Consistent

Theres a good article out on Calvin Phillips time at city. I’m not allowing him to take boovy’s slander.

I completely disagree with city winning treble without Haaland, but agree with a lot of what buvey said

Hi Jimbo, I'm a Charlton fan and I can't do this anymore. Currently on 19 draws, the most in England's top leagues. We have League 1s top goalscorer, meaning if we've scored, its been the same bloke doing it, and if he scores we know its going to get cancelled out, plus he'll inevitably leave at the end of the season. We're actually in a worse spot next season, after this one may as well have not happened. As a result and a potential new bit, I'm wandering what you, Flav, and the sluggies would think is the best best way to off yourself so it has a positive impact on the football club. Research purposes only... for now

As a City fan Buvey’s talked a lot of bollocks in this vid about (among others) Nunes, Kovacic, Bravo to an extent, probably Torres and Zinchenko but I do mostly agree with him on Grealish, and unusually found myself disagreeing a lot with James on Ake who I think he’s criminally underrating

Grealish 11th is hilarious because that guy is a bum. How can a guy who isn't a regular first-team player been Pep's 11th best signing in the past 8 years. Madness. Typical English football knowledge.

How old is Buvey to remember Nicky Weaver? we clown on him for supporting since 2011 but seriously here.

It doesn't matter if City sign players who aren't up to scratch, because of the financial doping involved. It just means they sell them back into the market or let them rot. This guy is actually agreeing this is the case as well from what he was saying about Doku. He's not even been at the club twelve months and he's hinting at getting rid of him, it's hysterical. Phillips' career was ruined at City as he didn't start a match until January after injury and apparently being overweight (Pep criticized him in the media), having signed him the summer just gone, and didn't start his first league match until the last home game of the season. How are footballers to prove their worth if they never start? Personally, I think he was bought just to fill the home grown quota, and was basically just used. Laporte was very good, but not a better centre back than Virgil, that is just laughable. He's now playing in the Saudi league at the age of 29, where the vast majority of players in this position are in their prime. Three of his five full seasons in the Prem, saw his appearances curtailed to playing no more than sixteen matches in any of them due to injury and bad form. Virgil is basically made of tougher and classier stuff. Sane is also not a better footballer than Saka. He was mentally fragile, and another example of City selling on as they didn't scout his personality properly. Saka has won two consecutive Arsenal player of the Season awards and is still improving. He took a pop at Kovacic and Torres, both are much better players than he makes out. This City fan is quite deluded and obviously just doesn't understand that most clubs cannot sell or discard their players, due to a temporary drop in form or any other reason. Sounds very entitled to me.

Buvey and James forgot about Zack Steffen

When all you can do is talk in superlatives, all you do is boring and hollow. For Buvey there is nothing between the worst and the best in the world. It is unbearable.

John Stones starts like 10 games a season

This aged so bad about Kovacic. Kovacic has done so much for us since this came out lol

*"The guy was god awful, a disgrace to football, his family, and I never want to see his face again"* How I feel when I see a Buvey video

If Rodri plays against Chelsea in the champions league final city would have been 2x champs

Grealish is a flop change my mind

Bravo was nowhere near as bad as made out just had a very rough start that people never got over

Im a Villa fan, Grealish is one of my favorite players buy you guys just prop him up because he’s a good lad. Yes, he’s got intangibles, but “Doku can’t do what he does”?. Might be the other way around. UCL vs Madrid, Grealish misses several shots badly. Doku comes in an creates a tying goal. FA cup semi, he comes in after after Grealish and creates the DeBruyne chance that led to the Bernardo goal. You guys just have a mancrush on Grealish.

It’s testament to how bad Bravo was that he’s BELOW MENDY😂

Doku and kovacic kind of shut you down with that game vs luton

Should of got a city fan on for this.

Nunes... It is fucking first season... This guy

Buvey saying Zinchenko misplaces passes and he does it

Never change Buvey

mahrez ?

Skipping mendey was a good idea

Kova rating was a mistake

The PGMOL must be up there surely

With all due respect

Zach steffan?

Buvey hasn’t got a clue

Think it’s harsh on Ferran Torres

Haaland should go to Madrid for sure he’d be very suited for them in cl

Buvey really has some of the most infuriating takes on football... he sometimes sounds a bit entitled

JLA has more talent in his little toe than Buvey 😜

Laporte should be higher

I love stones but there’s not a chance he is a better signing than Dias Gundo or Bernardo. All 3 of those world class every year, we can’t forgot stones’ poor seasons in 2020

Mendy was proven innocent, right? I thought he was a quality player on his day. His crossing on that left foot was brilliant!!

Mendy should’ve been the worst on the whole “shark team” thing alone

Bravo still traumatizes me

Nunes has been there 6 months, relax.

Top 3 has to be: 1. Rodri 2. Silva 3. Gundogan

Grealish is so lucky he’s a talented footballer cuz that dude is operating on his final brain cell

I wonder where from Manchester he’s from then

The amount of adverts on this is a joke James

33 signings in 7 1/2 years jeez

As much as I like Mahrez he should not be in most people's top 20 Premier league players of all time. Amazing player but terrible take

Gary Neville was decent, but never better than Kyle Walke

Phillips is a Championship player at best. Pep didn't want him.

Horrendous take on nunes how can you say he’s not good on the eye 😂

Laporte was not better than Van Dijk, what a load of waffle lol

Ferran Torres too low.

Your content is great but I genuinely refuse to watch anything with Buvey in it. Bin him

Jack Grealish @ 11 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Buvey is very weird

god buvey irritates me with his negativity

Cancelo should be higher imo

You skipped Mendy (found not guilty) but decided to talk about Kyle Walker.... weird/selective/...bias?

"Doku nowhere near Grealish level" Good god... Terrible take (City fan)
