NAC Breda 2017/2018

I wonder who the club are considering sending there next season? I’ve got no idea how good their keeper is, but maybe Muric would be an option.

Muric, Tosin, Celina, Smith, Diaz, Nmecha and Davenport should be ready for the Eredivisie. Don't know who will go there but these players are good enough imo

Celina has already spent a year in the Eredivisie. I think he’ll be sold personally

Forgot that. He has no chance at making our first team, there`s so many players ahead of him in line

NAC supporter here. Manu Garcia has been absolutely top class for us. On the ball he's probably one of, if not the best, midfielder in the Eredivisie. he will absolutely be sorely missed after this season but i'm happy we got to enjoy him for the last 1.5 season so I guess we have City to thank for that.

He had a big part in helping us promote to the Eredivisie last season but also noticed he had to get used to the higher level of play in the 1st half of this season. Ever since our coach positioned him as a central midfielder after the first 10 matches or so he has really grown into his role. Physically and conditionally he's also much improved compared to a year ago, though I don't know if it will be enough for the Premier League, to be honest. Because that is still quite a leap from the Eredivisie. Perhaps he should get a chance at Girona first and then make the move back to Manchester.

We're also very happy with Angelino, especially his offensive capabilities. Defensive wise he's not the best honestly, but in the Eredivisie you can get away with that. PSV tried to buy him during the winter break. They offered 8M Euro, but City wanted 10-15M, so we're super happy he can at least finish the season with us.

Ambrose has already scored 10 goals for us so far (including goals against the traditional top 3 Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord) and recently has been playing as a right or left winger after we hired Sadiq Umar from AS Roma. On the pitch he has great chemistry with Sadiq and Angelino and he has a fantastic mentality. Would love it if he could stay with us for one more season but I think he's ready for a better team.

Pablo Mari and Agyepong are not good enough for City, and especially in the 1st half of the season Mari didn't do so good with us either, but the last 10 games or so he's been really solid. The only disappointment so far of the 6 players we have on loan from City would be Paolo Fernandes. Clearly he has a lot of talent, and can do fantastic things with a ball (maybe even more so than Manu Garcia) but he really needs time to get used to professional league football and has to improve physically and conditionally before he could become a good player for us. I do hope City would allow him to stay with us for one more season but since he didn't play a lof of games for us I don't know if he'd want to stay here any longer.

Honestly, I was hesitant having so much players on loan from City, especially because they're still very young and unexperienced. But they've really grown and improved a lot and I'm sad to see most of them go after this season. They are showing real passion and they have a great relationship with our supporters. something I would not have expected before this season, because it's a big risk to build your team around them after a promotion. Really curious to see what City will send our way next season, but so far I'm supper happy with the partnership we have with them, and I think they are quite happy with us as well. I think so far it has been a win-win situation for both sides!

Great post, welcome.Breda is a fantastic club, had a brill weekend there earlier thus season.

Not exactly NAC related, but PSV lost 5-0 today to relegation threatened Willem II, what the fuck? I'm not that well up on the Eredivise, but that's still got to be one of the biggest shocks in world football for quite some time?

Saw that, amazing result, Breda must have been expecting their rivals to get a pasting.

I thought Fernandes was out injured for a while, so it may take him a while to get up to speed. Can see City allowing him to stay with you and develop for another season, though I think Angelino and Garcia will be give every opportunity to prove themselves back in Manchester. For the relationship(s) with NAC and Girona to succeed, the loanees have to see that going is indeed a stepping stone to possible inclusion with the first team. It's not a guarantee, and all players have to grasp every opportunity, but if one or two make it, all parties will surely benefit.
