The Premier League may be loving Ryan Cherky, but former France star Christophe Dugarry is having none of it. He’s not a big fan of the 22-year-old Manchester City star.
foot market report Comments from the former France star today. And it appears that despite his latest impressive performances, he has not yet fully recovered from Cherky fever.

Ryan Cherky joined Manchester City on a €36.5m deal from Lyon in the summer transfer window.
He was long considered one of the French rising talents. At Lyon, he came through their youth ranks before establishing himself in the first team.
Manchester City decided to make a move for him in the summer and have not regretted that decision since.
Cherky has significantly improved his play under Pep Guardiola, despite yet to firmly establish himself as a starter under the Spaniard.
To date he has three goals and ten assists in 26 Premier League games. In all competitions, those numbers are nine goals and 13 assists in 43 games.
Dugari Unaffiliated
The latest impressive performance came against Chelsea when he grabbed two assists in a 3–0 win. Most spectators credited Cherki as the man who turned the game in City’s favor after a close first half at Stamford Bridge.
That performance received much praise in England. But in France, critics remain, and Dugarry is one of them.
“What is he different from? What is Cherky’s style? Are the others blind? Are they clowns? What is this boy different from?” He said.
“Why should we treat him differently? Is he better than Olisse, is he better than Douay? Is he better than Barcola?
“We have to stop thinking that every time he touches the ball, it’s a one-man show… He needs to be more efficient in his game. Pep Guardiola said this, and he also explained that he needs to press more, and in modern football, that is important.”
