And although there is a risk signing players like this the money we are bringing in selling academy players covers it. Obviously we want those good enough to either stay or come back with buy backs or successful loan spells but not all will.

40mil for a kid who's not playing in the first team squad is mentaldamn, kinda expensive for a 16y/o
Palmeiras rate him ar 107mil eur
City want to offer 40mil eur
He seems very good
and Palmeiras are not in need to sell40mil for a kid who's not playing in the first team squad is mental
also he will join when he is 18 y/o
If he is that good, he'll end up in Europe before he is 18.and Palmeiras are not in need to sell
also he will join when he is 18 y/o
I sense a EU passport is in the post.

I imagine we are the only show in town on this lad to be honest.

We signed Reis and Nypan for the future but i very much doubt we'll see them play for us, so i can't see the point in signing more foreign kids when our academy lads should be given a chance to prove themselves.
If the players we are signing aren’t playing anyway not really stopping any academy lads. Really if you are good enough, and take the opportunities, then it’s your spot to earn.We signed Reis and Nypan for the future but i very much doubt we'll see them play for us, so i can't see the point in signing more foreign kids when our academy lads should be given a chance to prove themselves.
Rico did a few years ago, Nico has this year. Academy players definitely getting a chance more so than ever I’d say. Alleyne, Bobb and McAtee all had lots of chances last 2 seasons as well.
Reis is definitely good enough though - he has everything to be a top player we just already have quite a few!

Reis without question will make it here, everything screams a young Johnny Stones with Reis.

Bobb and McAtee were given chances but didn't do enough and i doubt we'll rue the day we sold them. Alleyne may be sold as we're pretty much sorted for CBs but I'd rather we keep him because i feel he could become a top defender. I'd rather us sell Dias than young Max.If the players we are signing aren’t playing anyway not really stopping any academy lads.

They all had chances was my point and the later 3 didn’t take them. Well Max did well actually as he got thrown into it and everyone came back after that disaster of a Bodo game.Bobb and McAtee were given chances but didn't do enough and i doubt we'll rue the day we sold them.

I like Max but I’m not selling Dias who has been incredible for us over the years for him just because he came through our academy.
If they are good enough they play like Trafford, Foden, Nico, Rico etc. There will be plenty more that do - Mfuni will be a great player. Hopefully we see more of McAidoo around the squad going forward.

Fair enough. I just think Dias has played his best football for us, he's not the same player nowadays.They all had chances was my point and the later 3 didn’t take them. Well Max did well actually as he got thrown into it and everyone came back after that disaster of a Bodo game.

Maybe true but at least we know what we get with him. He’ll be captain next year - we aren’t selling him for Alleyne.Fair enough. I just think Dias has played his best football for us, he's not the same player nowadays.
Not sure what happens with Max but he’s a top talent, will keep an eye on him wherever he ends up - he could still stay at City. Got to remember a world cup year and Josko coming back from a big injury. Think either him or Mfuni stays with the squad. And hopefully Nico OR Gets midfield minutes which will help ever so slightly with the defence rotation.

None of know who the club will sell, pal. Not sure Dias will be captain 'backslap' either. I think Guehi will make a better long-term captain as he'll hopefully be here for the long-term.Maybe true but at least we know what we get with him. He’ll be captain next year - we aren’t selling him for Alleyne.

Max Alleyne will no doubt be on the radar of other clubs so time will tell where he ends up. I just hope it's not Liverpool, god forbid.
O'Reilly will most probably get Bernardo's minutes, can't see gim playing LB next season with Gvardiol back and Ait Nouri as options there, but we'll have to wait and see i suppose.

I suppose he will stay at Palmeiras rather than switch to Bahia before coming to Europe?
Palmeiras ae a much better side but guess it depends on how much he can play thereI suppose he will stay at Palmeiras rather than switch to Bahia before coming to Europe?
You can’t see the point? Have you ever noticed how the amount we sell players for is larger (sometimes a lot larger) than what we buy them for? It’s called profit and it helps pay the billsWe signed Reis and Nypan for the future but i very much doubt we'll see them play for us, so i can't see the point in signing more foreign kids when our academy lads should be given a chance to prove themselves.
Elano was a ray of light when he arrived too.
Also he might play for Portugal, but Nunes was born in Rio.
Also Danilo and Gabriel Jesus played their parts.
And Robinho was the start of a new era. An individual success or not, that day we signed him and the excitement watching SSN is something I wish I could encapsulate!
