I do love a fan that rates a 'kid' they've seen on YouTube higher than a Portuguese international who has played for Valencia, Juventus...
Just agent and PR talk, I'd be surprised if the lad is that daft he doesn't know he wouldn't be guaranteed any starting spot let alone in a side that has two right backs of which one was bought in just a year ago. Not a fan of sending players Girona, but seems it's a club policy to loan players to one of CFG clubs rather than elsewhere. Be interesting what comes of this, if he is really as good as some say it will show.That's a bit of a strange comment because I'm sure we promise quite a few players a first team spot. Players look for those assurances of their place as part of their negotiations.
This guy is on record as saying that he turned us down initially because he didn't fancy joining only to be loaned out and claims he had offers from other big clubs which included a first team spot.
Tell you why, it's twitter influence. They've seen United, Chelsea, Arsenal start to field youth because those clubs are in a constant state of rebuilding and need to fill gaps. Some of them, as evident, likes of Saka, Reece James, Mason Mount, Greenwood have worked out and looked bright. So begins the trend of, you know how footy twitter is, our club youth1!1! And it's got the younger fans following City desperate to have that at our club as well. Hence why you will also see hype over Jayden Braaf when all we've known of him is from a 2 minute clip and some photos, that's it.I do love a fan that rates a 'kid' they've seen on YouTube higher than a Portuguese international who has played for Valencia, Juventus...
He could’ve started in front of Cancelo for me.

Offers from "big" clubs then is farmed out to a small Spanish 2nd division club!
I did tell you he would be going out on loan.
His complete lack of minutes at senior level was the biggest indicator for me.
To throw a young lad in after no experience whatsoever at a good level would be criminal.
Gabriel Jesus had won a league title with Palmeiras and represented his country before he kicked a ball for City. Yan Couto was NEVER going to be considered for the first team, not this season anyway.
Hope he does well at Girona and i hope he does turn out a gem. Maybe next season, or the season after that.
My point is , he is a young kid with great potential, but, he was never going to any club in any decent league from the off.What's your point?
He turned down big clubs to join us. Now we've supposedly made the decision to throw another bone Girona's way.
Because that idea's been such a success so far...
