So you don't think he was in talking with pep and Tixki before the end of the season?

Not unless he's lying to me.

I'm a fool for believing what Rico says..? Ok then.

You are known for bullshitting on here , seems you know all the players personally..

I'm known for bullshitting..? Such as..?
I know one player and his family and that's it, never said anything different. Keep your nonsense to yourself.

I will take a guess at the latter ;)

It sounds like he is going to be part of the Bruno deal, and if he is that will have been finalised some time ago.

No reason not to believe bluemoonrisen, he’s been reliable on Rico stuff as far as I can remember.

Chill. She loves throwing the old bullshitter argument about.

Ky is winding down and john is always injured so he would get p!aying time here

That was the case this season and he still hardly played though. A loan for a year would be great for him to develop his game.

He's played more than Foden was at the same age.

1600+ minutes is pretty good for a season when he was 18 at the start. It's also Pep's way that he plays the squad players early on in the season, when there's less pressure, so it then often feels like someone has dropped out of favour.

Given his size, like Phil, I think he'll be given a bit more protection till he builds up more strength. He still gets targeted, and knocked off the ball, something that happened to Phil a lot. That balance and strength takes time to develop.

Or not as happened with Foden

We need to stop comparing players to foden. Foden is a once in a generation player. I believe he’d have made it no matter who the manager is. If he hadn’t had made it no one would.

With Lewis I think he just needs a chance. He’s more than good enough, but we seem so risk averse with our youngsters and would rather buy ready made replacements, even if our own are good enough.

Loaning him out to Newcastle and paying daft money for that bleached brazilian donkey in midfield is fucking batshit insanity. Trust our young players for fucks sake, they are as good as anyone.
