Not a defender. That much was clear about 12 months ago.

Could really do with growing a couple more inches and filling out a bit - look at what it did for Foden - but that's about all. It'll come, I think Pep just needs to give up on the idea that he's a defender. If we had more options at the back currently he wouldn't be played there.

He'll be a good squad player for us going forward but as a box-to-box/eight type. Very good with the ball in tight areas, magnificent when it comes to finding space in the midfield, definitely has an eye for goal when he does get in dangerous spots.

‘Definitely has an eye for goal’?
That’s not something I’d noticed, to put it mildly …

He and his team aren’t playing too well at the minute but last time I looked we are still second in the league. So, we’re thankful for small mercies.

You really don't need to respond to that stupid rag supporting ****, as he he is only here because we lost.

The mardarse is nowhere to be seen when the rags lose, which is more the norm .

He needs to be fucked off whenever he infests BM threads.

I wanted to add “where are you in the division?” but in the end, I didn’t want to go down that route. Thanks for the advice, I’ll leave well alone now:)

He is not good defender but atm he better than Walker who should been allowed to leave this summer

By the end of this season he'll (I predict) have the same amount of senior goals for City as Cole Palmer did at the same age. When he's been played in midfield and been allowed to get into scoring positions he's found the net at a decent rate imo. It's only being played across the back constantly that's preventing him for upping his tally imo.

Interesting, well 3 in 67 appearances said by Chris above. I haven’t the will to work out his rate for just when he’s played in defence vs our other defenders, but bearing in my the way we play, with him coming into midfield from defence and how much of the time our whole team is up the field, my perception is that his rate is awful. To my eyes he seems to lack composure, confidence and ability when in goal scoring positions. If you think different, fair enough.
