brilliant news, somewhere like mk dons might be a good loan. We just need somewhere where he will play regularly and the right type of football.

This is what I would prefer. Get a few months more of games in with the EDS, then hopefully get a half season loan with a team to fill a hole where will fill a role. I just don't want to see him go on loan for a year, then just sit on the bench and us have no way of getting him playing time.I'm fine with a loan move, but does anyone think that a half-season in the EDS followed by a loan in January might work better?
He's 18. If the club uses him in the aforementioned plan, he'll have loan experience at just 19. Loan him out for the full 2016-17 season and he comes back in 17-18 with a season and a half of first team experience, ready for the first team here at just 20.

Great news. I think he would benefit from a loan, maybe a Championship club for six months and then NYCFC. He needs real playing time and probably isn't ready for 1st team MCFC yet.
I've heard he might be off to Bolton on Loan. That would be a good move imo.
How humiliating for Gartside. It's not that long ago he was boasting to the media that Bolton were a bigger club than City. Fast forward a few years and he's come cap in hand trying to loan one of our best young prospects.

Maybe we should leave this up to Viera who knows Barker best in who is the man Barker totally trust.
I'm just happy to see this kid sign a 5 year contract knowing that by the time his contract expires we (could) have a real gem in our team. It's mainly up to the player now ...

I'd suggest Bolton's huge debts would be a bigger concern!How humiliating for Gartside. It's not that long ago he was boasting to the media that Bolton were a bigger club than City. Fast forward a few years and he's come cap in hand trying to loan one of our best young prospects.

Slight veer off topic but I work with a couple of Leeds lads and when Brandon was originally linked they had plenty of questions, which I duly answered and then pointed them in the direction of some of the ever impressive Youtube clips and the "Made in Mcr" mini documentary. By the end they were salivating at the prospect of having this kid working with Uwe, They seem very bitter and pissed off towards there owners new stance now of course. I'm not so sure this is fully dead yet though IMO.

So, any news on his loan? The genius board seems to be obsessed with buying KDB for 85m and selling Marcos (who?) Lopes for 10. Even the likes of Zuculini and Roberts just hang between the first team and nowhere
