I agree with you, 7m seems weird by all accounts, that would be sensible if you'd pay something like that for Roberts, but not for Ntcham.
And as for your question, he actually got a bit of a chance after their managerial change, but in general it's Italy and Genoa, they have huge squads year after years with loads of loanees, I don't think it was their priority to play and improve him when they can loan similar players or someone with more experience for similar fees.
As for his attitude, only thing I can remember was his driving without a licence while he was in Italy, so maybe this affected his gametime too, or maybe there was even something more than that.
I'm sorry but even for a team with the Standards of City that's actually a bad standard to go by. You should at least try to attain 1 first team player every year. If you aren't trying to push for that then what's the point of even having an academy. It just becomes a pointless revenue generator pitching false dreams to young players and then you won't have any young players that would want to go there.
reports on the bbc website are at £4.5 million fee
Of course they won't include the add ons when it makes us look better

just seen on the bbc that lukaku just sign for united for £75million and in the write up say another £15million in add-ons
but no total price of £90million hahahahaha what on earth is the world coming to if lukaku is worth £90million
You and me could do well in that tinpot league.I saw him a couple of times on BT whilst he was playing for Genoa - I think he'll do well at Celtic
