95% of people here wanted Echeverri here and to sell Sav to spuds, rightly so"Like we all said"...no we didn't. Speak for yourself mate.

a really stupid loan for both sides, but less so for leverkusen. I reckon they thought they were simply adding a backup option if needed, especially given that we gave them no claude to make the loan permanent, and perhaps some on the city side thought we were sending him out to get serious minutes.
Why on earth would a team of leverkusen's caliber give serious minutes to a 19 year old loanee
with barely any senior experience? Made no sense then and makes no sense now.

And who he is!Are you asking if he is on loan?
Divine Mukasa is in our squad.
PS Got Mubama now, looked up. No longer confused! Did we sign them for a laugh?

There are numerous factors why someone might actually get more PT with a "better" side. One reason would be the position one plays and side's need. Another is system and style of play. Could simply be down to the manager of each side. Not getting time with Leverkusen does by no means mean Echeverri wouldn't get time with us.Please share why you think that
Uh maybe because he's seen as a major talent who could help a squad like Leverkusen even if it's coming off the bench. He wasn't sent there to sit for games on end.

He’s at Stoke. Started all 7 Champ games so far, scored in his first two, sent off in his third and hasn’t scored in the four since.Divin Mubama on loan???

It's simple. One was born in Newham and we signed them from West Ham the other... was born in Newham and we signed them from West Ham...He’s at Stoke. Started all 7 Champ games so far, scored in his first two, sent off in his third and hasn’t scored in the four since.
He played, and scored, for the first team last season against Salford.And who he is!

Should’ve loaned him to someone in the championship to toughen him up to the league.

Erm well my point was that people are saying he should be with us as he would be getting more playing time - I cant see how he would be getting more time as Leverkusen are definitely a level below City. So not a n "invalid analogy"Uh maybe because he's seen as a major talent who could help a squad like Leverkusen even if it's coming off the bench. He wasn't sent there to sit for games on end. What are we doing here?
I agree he wasn't sent there to be sitting on the bench (as he would be at City) so the solution would be to find a club at a level where he would play. He needs playing time to show he is a major talent which at the moment it appears he wouldnt get at Leverkusen or City.
All a little weird.Should’ve loaned him to someone in the championship to toughen him up to the league.
He wanted to stay with us.
We wanted him to go on loan
There appeared to be no space in our squad
Eventually there was.
He wanted to go to Italy and we said no
We wanted him to go to Girona and he said no.

The kid has grown up playing in South America, going to the championship would be like going to a soft play area.

City wanted to send him to Girona if I recall, it was Echeverri himself who was pushing for higher calibre teams. I think Roma were in the mix as well, maybe that would have been the better move in hindsight. The kid believed in himself and picked the best team available, sometimes that can be a mistake as a young loan player because you're not seen as a developmental asset and they aren't concerned about freezing you out for a senior player.
It's a mistake, but an understandable one that came from the kids self belief.

We don't actually know what offers were made.I suspect some of the figures in the press were wildly inflated.The money from Spurs for Savinho was a no brainer for me and Echeverri has shown more ability and determination in his limited minutes imo
Sav and Echeveria actually play in different positions whatever one thinks of their relative merits and we saw very little of him.

Echeverri scored a free kick at the CWC and was a menace in the FA cup final when he came on, never seen as much from Sav.We don't actually know what offers were made.I suspect some of the figures in the press were wildly inflated.

He had a few minutes with a little promise in the FA cup, I don't recall him playing at all in the premier league.Echeverri scored a free kick at the CWC and was a menace in the FA cup final when he came on, never seen as much from Sav.
Sav has been varied but he has scored goals and created chances in the premier league
But above everything my point stands that they don't play in the same position so one really is not in at the expense of the other.
We have more players who play centrally than wide so Echeveria chances were likely to be limited.
