I suffer from panic attacks. I'm not not saying you're wrong, but if someone is willing to pay millions for you, it's hard to admit.

ETA - but maybe he's just a bust. You follow City closer than me.

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say, but he had opportunities to move to Arsenal before and turned them down because of those panic attacks. He claims that he they're behind him, which is why he was willing to move to City. I just think if they were still an issue, we'd have heard something about them over the past few years. Training incidents, leaving matches, not wanting to travel in the CL. Something. I think it's exceedingly possible, he's had significant breakthroughs with them, even if they aren't completely eliminated.

As far as his play, I think he's been fine. I know the board hates him, but he's been great for the team in my opinion. He works hard every minute he's on the pitch. He's always been a shitty goal scorer. So that was expected. I think he's been a bit selfish offensively, and could do the team better by passing more instead of crossing constantly. But I love Navas, and in no way consider him a bust. That said, he's also not of sufficient quality that I want him starting every game. But he's a great late game sub/spot starter, and I hope he sticks around a couple more years.
