Bias for youth is one thing when your comparing players of equal quality or at least one that is ready for the first time but when you end up slagging off another city player and making comments that do not make sense and make you look like you do not watch football then its just a bit silly
I watch a lot of football mate, hence why I’m on a football forum. Ha.
Let’s see who is right.
How much have you seen of Ganzunu
Not done anything of note yet is an international and getting rave reviews in a top top league. prior to that was doing a good job in a decent league
What do you consider something of note ? Do the same things apply to all players regardless of the club they are at or the position they play in for example I would say it might be note worth for a player to be bought for a high fee by a big club even if they have not yet reached a high point or done much but look decent or you might have a player who does virtually nothing his whole career but scores a winner in a cup final. What about goalies lots of them barely play his signing for city could be considered note worth as could his reviews in the Germany and possibly even the MLS
Let it go Zack, I wish you well mate!
Not saying you do not watch a lot of football just saying making silly comments which you are now backtracking make it look like you do not watch much or just make silly comments for no reason
How much have you seen of youth lad you mentioned.
We will see who is right about what exactly ? Odds are we wont see much of either player unless Ederson gets an injury or they both go out on loan and it will be hard to compare them. Not that my point was about one being better than the other rather just Zack is good enough as a back up. Still not seen you explain whats wrong with him other than he is not from the youth team which is and you thought he was average without explaining why
Man you're relentless. How many people on a forum stick to what they say regardless of evidence? I have admitted I know little of Zack and I was very quick to jump to a conclusion without knowing the facts and as it's been pointed out, he's had a great season, and therefore I've admitted I might have got it wrong. Is that so bad?
As I said to you before I based my opinion solely on my admiration of Bazunu, who, as you keep asking, I've watched quite a bit of as I used to regularly go and watch our youth sides. I'm also close to someone involved in our academy and so I feel quite informed on our younger players. Where I was wrong, was that I made a judgement on another one of our reserve players who I know little to nothing about. The internet is full of people making ill-informed comments so I don't know why this is such a bone of contention for you. Regardless, my quick assumption, as I have said before, was based on the fact I didn't know him and most players who are very promising I'll have heard of before they turn 25. Maybe he's a late bloomer. Maybe he's slipped under my radar. But for the peace of Bluemoon and my sanity I apologise for undervaluing him!
I know absolutely nothing avout Zack Steffen.
But the fact we have not been linked with absolutely any goal keeper or even mentioned to be looking at that position, when it is known Bravo is leaving and Carson's spell ends as well, makes me think the club have decided to give him a go at 2nd choice.

MUEN- reporting that its been confirmed that Zac Steffan will be our no.2 golakeeper next season - no qoutes from us as a club but ones from Dussledorfs director that seem to confirm it...link below
www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Also claims that Steffan wants to push Ederson for the number one spot and not just be a back up and that we will approach Derby to extend Scott Carsons loan as third choice keeper.
The clips Ive seen of Steffan look very good..very good shot stopper- very quick reactions and good with his feet (though not as good as Ederson but that takes some doing)
Exclusive: Man City replacement for Claudio Bravo confirmed
Chile international goalkeeper has left Manchester City and the Blues are finalising their three keepers for next season.

If Zak Steffen is going to be our back-up keeper, does that mean that Muric will go back on loan?
he will have to I suppose. We’ve asked Derby if Carson can stay to be third choice
From what I've seen of Steffen, I'll stick my neck out and say according to the 'eye test' he looks to be a better shot stopper than Ederson. Will be interesting to see if he'll get a fair shot at competing for the number 1 spot.
Yep

I doubt very much that Daniel Grimshaw will ever be anywhere near the first team after being loaned to Hemel Hempstead in National League South in January.
Yes that’s my impression as well. Been very keen to see him play for City ever since he signed. Looks really good. Not sure about his passing/build-up though.
It’s good Ederson get some competition.

Is he fully fit again?
Tranfermarkt still has him down with a knee injury. Looking forward to seeing him play, Ederson's weakness is his saving be Interesting to see how the keepers compare.

This is still a major puzzler for me, I still can't get my head around the fact that not even one single league team would take a City youth keeper on loan.
5k a week.
Nice gig if you can get it.
