Unless he's been explicitly told not to expect to play any minutes this season, this doesn't surprise me at all. Going from City to a newly promoted team is a big step down, even if they are throwing a lot of money around. He played 14 games for us last year, which isn't bad for someone who's 21. I'd expect him to see how things are going in January before seeing if he can get a move to a better team in England or elsewhere. Good to see a young player want to fight for their place when they've probably been offered a nice pay bump and a signing on fee from another PL team.
