General transfer rumours

Would be a good move for foden. We know he’s got all the talent time to see what he’s got between the ears. A full season playing against men in a mainly ‘rough em up’ league will do home good.
 
Patrick Roberts go slated for going to Celtic yet we want to send players out to the Championship? Sounds very unlikely to me. I could see it in January if we are out of Champions League. I believe even with Jorginho and Mahrez we'd need Diaz and Foden.

If the rumors are true then we are opening a homegrown spot for someone..

Sorry, you'll have to explain this one to me. Who are we opening up a homegrown spot for?

Also Foden doesn't take up a HG spot as he's u21, only Delph, Stones, Sterling and Walker do.

Roberts got slated for returning after already spending 18 moths there a tad different.
I think it sounds a great deal on paper but whats the chances of Beilsa still being there come September?

Sad, in a way though, as he was the one fringe player thought most likely to make the breakthrough, (into the senior team), first.

That being said, his full debut (CL) game against shakhtar, here at the Etihad last season, did, in my opinion, rather pass him by due to the oppositions greater experience, pace & strength, so I guess, as you say, regular games in a more physical league, next season, (playing under a coach that Pep very much admires & respects) could, hopefully, bring on his game no end.

Always providing, of course, that a young kid, of his age & build, will be capable of standing up to the rigorous amount of physical punishment he’s gonna undoubtedly get, week in week out in championship football (which, if I’m honest, I have very strong doubts about).

Stu Brennan, MEN has just said it's NOT happening so that's good news. I'm looking forward to seeing both Foden and Diaz in the first team next season. I am not expecting them to start games, but I am expecting them to be around the bench and to start in the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League (if we sow it up early).

I know what you mean but this made me smile :)
 
According to Sport journalist Albert Joge, Manchester City have agreed a deal for Barcelona’s highly-rated midfielder Adria Bernabe. It’s a big signing from Pep Guardiola as the La Masia playmaker has been tipped for a bright future. City Watch say the Catalan giants had hoped he’d become a first-team player in due time, but now City will benefit from Barcelona’s loss.

That's 2 months out of date, which on Twitter equates to an aeon.

The rule says that you need 8 HG players in your squad and I'm pretty sure Foden is part of that quota. Knowing how City operates, if we're sending Phil to Leeds United that means we're freeing his spot for someone Pep likes to call "better".

Who that player is? No clue mate, I'm just trying to understand why we're sending Phil over to Bielsa when he's arguably our best academy player.
