Id love him to stay here,and hopefully the word coming out that he is the next 'project' will ensure the minutes,i'm just not convinced.I understand your concern with disappearing after a loan,but thats maybe because the bar is ridiculously high and none have quite been good enough.The ones who have a chance stay here. In my mind, once they go out on loan they do not have a future at City. That is what I am trying to say. Does Palmer have a chance, yes. Hence stay here. Same for McAtee, Delap (although I personally have doubts about him), Lavia and Mbete-Tabu.
Even for the ones who won't make it, finding the right club is still important but not something we have mastered as yet.
ExactlyVery few worldwide are good enough
If it's true about Bernie asking to leave last Summer then perhaps it was planned?Yeah it will be tough and the stars will have to align, such as a couple of injuries and players being rested after a midweek champs league match, as an example.
If the Bernardo rumours are true, and were not able to replace him, that may provide an opening, even if it was not preplanned. I post this from a position of ignorance as I cannot really comment if he is good enough at this point in time.
I think it can depend on the position. Centre backs and centre forwards in particular can benefit from developing the necessary physical side of those positions by playing against grown menThe ones who have a chance stay here.

He’s got dual nationality / citizenship of St Kitts & Nevis, anyone know what the story is there?
