So it sounds to me we should be doing our upmost to keep Angelino.
Any idea how long Kolarov is injured for?
Can we assume Angelino will go to the bench as cover for Clichy.
The question is would Pellegrini rather move Zabalaeta to left back than bring on Angelino if Clichy got an injury during the match?
I assume he would get a chance to start if draw Wycome in the FA cup

Borthwick-Jackson is playing every game for United now and is he any better than Angelino? Definitely not from what I've seen of the two players.
I understand Angelino didn't have a great loan spell at NYC, but loan spells (especially abroad) aren't always a good judge of talent. Angelino looked super talented in our youth team and I hope the manager wouldn't have any hesitations about giving him an opportunity with Kolarov's injury.
Angelino looks perfect for Guardiola's style, so are Denayer, Iheanacho and Roberts. Our youth system has some real talent in it, we just need a manager more willing to give young players an opportunity.

His loan spell was a success,he got regular playing time and has seemingly come back a more developed player,why do you think otherwise?

Last I checked he only bombed forward and forgot to come back and defend. Like to like replacement for Kola ?
When I saw him on loan he was perfectly happy to run towards his own goal. Got up and down very nicely, but the defending was a bit suspect when he got there.
I understand he tired towards the end of the loan, but he's not lazy and he's got enough speed to track back.

Yeah, I also felt the same. But his deliveries into the box are delicious. Hopefully, with age his defending improves.

His defensive qualities are not his best but I have never seen him lacking effort and energy. watching Barca last night with Alba up and down the wing (mostly attacking) I was thinking Angelino could easily play in that team. Probably why Barca are romoured to be interested in him.
In an attacking sense he is excellent, very positive, great crosser of the ball and also scores some goals. Got a hat trick in one game last season ( not all as a full back as I recall) and scored again today away at Spurs for the EDS. The question is the way city play are we prepared to have a full back like this? Maybe not although nobody can tell me Kolarov is a top defensive full back.
