Well its part the wrong club at the wrong time, but also down to him. You can be as talented as you like, you still need to want it.

Like moreno, you have to take the opportunity or you'll end up on half a dozen loans and failing. I dont know how many opportunities or chances city are meant to give these youngsters before people get off their back.

Well a couple are getting reasonable expeience under Pep now. The rest, for most of the last two managers before Pep, were at the wrong club imo.

This kind of situation where a kid suddenly becomes an entity by getting football is a typical example of how it works imo. Rashford is another.

Somehow we have to bridge this gap, partially with Pep giving more kids game time & partially by finding a way of making sure our kids get loans at the right clubs who suit their style & will play them & that if they do well, we will give them a shot.

Otherwise Sancho, Bobby Duncan etc will become the normal outcome rather than it being unusual.

they will be the normal by the sheer number of players coming through the Group.

I don't understand what that means, but I'm just making the point, that unless we improve our ratio of players getting through to some game time in the first team, either via good quality loans or by the route Foden & Diaz are now taking, we will lose many of the 'best' academy players. Which then makes it pretty much irrelevant.

Right now, that might seem unimportant, but when average players cost 100 mil & UEFA limit the transfer spending, it will suddenly become very important indeed.

And don't be surprised if all kind os shenanigans occur once brexit kicks in.
 
De ligt, ndombele, sessigon and Leon Bailey and I'm ecstatic. Even if we leave de ligt and sessigon at their clubs on 1 year loan. That would be our squad pretty much for 5-10 years sorted.

You and me both! Always dreamed of Pep coaching a squad full of the worlds best phenoms at every position. Pretty tough ask for our free roaming 8s but Foden might slide in there. Me and a buddy joked about building an all u23 phenom squad for a few years and then Pep started actually building it. Had to adjust it a bit for Mendy, Stones, Ederson and Laporte but it’s getting pretty damn close.
 
Based on his youtubiness he looks like a fullback playing in midfield to me.

Which could be a good sign :-)

Where have you seen 60m? I've seen 16m, which is probably bullshit, but haven't seen anything close to 60m

He’s one of the hundreds of Jorginho replacements Napoli are interested in and Aulas values him at €60M but of course Napoli wants to get him at a lower price.
