Meant Senior appearances, we obviously missed his potential but it happens, our Academy is brilliant and pays its way big time, bound to be a few that slip the net.Didn’t play a single game for who? The city academy, yeah he did. Loads. Hence academy product.

His lopey stride, his ellegance on the ball, aerial prowess and his ability to play in loads of positions at bat of an eyelid....I noticed it yesterday who he reminds me off. Step forward Mr Paul Lake.

It’s a nervous wait until Friday’s press conference to find out if he’s injured or not. I don’t think Pep would necessarily see it as a straight swap for Ait-Nouri if NOR is out. It could have knock on effects elsewhere too. He’ll probably start considering that we need to replace his box-crashing and that might tempt him to consider Reijnders or some nonsense like that. Or he might be concerned with losing O’Reilly’s physicality, height and duel-winning and bring Nico G out of the cold, which would be a mistake too imo. Nico O brings us all of these qualities in just one player, which is why I’m concerned Pep might do something mad with a week to ponder over it. Really need to hear that he’s fine to play.

I'm concerned as well. Pep is as clueless as you imply here. He will definitely do something mad (silly, that is).
We'll be fine.

He was 17 when he joined, and 18 when he went out on loan. Looks like he spent about 17 months at City, then maybe the odd month between loans.

You mean a brace in the 17th and 33rd minute ;)NOR has smashed into the team this season. Great player and scores massive goals at the right time. Put me down for a NOR header on 88 mins next week to win the game.
