I can see that but which young players are likely to come through this year with Pep ? We saw that last season he gave Bravo far more playing time than he deserved but I doubt he will give any of the homegrown a look in and what places can they fight for ? He is filling them with his bought players so they will be given chance after chance which hopefully they will not need.

Last season I thought Pep was actually picking certain players just to demonstrate we needed to buy better players rather than pick a homegrown for an extended run.
I understand he has just his contract time with us and needs results quickly but I honestly see little future for any academy breakthroughs while he is here.
Great manager with his choices but forget homegrown.

Who of the homegrown players do you think should start?

Have you noted the selections in the tour games, the comments about Foden, the hug for Diaz? He will start to bring them on this season, as young as they are

Sorry but I think that this year we have seen the board back Pep to the hilt because they also are impatient for success so the academy is put on hold despite Mr K.´saying otherwise about 1 or 2 being in the mix.
My point is that for this season we have bought our way forward with probably more to come so it will be great for the fans and probably great for City generally but with bought players in even reserve positions our academy graduates will take a backseat irrespective of their talent potential.

The domestic cups may get them on display but my opinion and apparently Pep´s is buy for success in the PL and CL at least in the short term.

Yes, encouraging play by them but did we not have the same last close season and even with lower grade players Pep refused to play his young stars of the last pre season.
