Good news. I like what I've seen from him. Probably our most exciting youth prospect just about breaking through now.

sounds all but official, this is from Sky:
Skysports.com understands Manchester City starlet Abdul Razak is poised to sign a new three-year contract with the club.
The 18-year-old midfielder joined Portsmouth on a month's loan last week to gain first-team football experience.
However, the Ivory Coast-born dynamo is very much part of Roberto Mancini's plans for the future.
The Italian views the teenager as one of the few youngsters within the club that can make an impact on his star-studded squad.
Razak joined the club from Crystal Palace last July and his rapid progress at Eastlands with the Elite Development Squad propelled him to his debut against West Brom in February.
He was handed his debut by Pompey in their 3-1 defeat against Derby on Saturday as a second-half substitute, and Mancini will be watching Razak's progress closely as he seeks to unleash his talent for City.
"He's a talented footballer and a very good young man. I believe he has the ability to become a very important player for Manchester City," said Mancini.
in other news, he didn't start for Pompey today.

Not been starting in any of the games. Has been coming on for a good 20 mins in each though.

Andouble said:it's only the second match since he got loaned to Pompey less than a week ago, I'm sure he'll get more time as the month progresses.
So it is. For some reason, I was thinking it was his third.

I know Abdul quite well. I was with him as he got the news he was going Portsmouth for 1 month.
I think he's got a big future with us. Seems to be thought highly of by Mancini. Genuinely nice lad, happy at City. Loves his football totally. Don't know how the loan is working out for him as I last spoke with him after the Carling Cup draw which was before his first game for them, seemed very happy with the draw. Hopefully he will be selected to play in that.
