Colin Rosler

Uwe named him after Colin Bell. And he named another son Tony, after Booky. He really took to us in his relatively short time with us. It'd be great if we could find some sort of role for Uwe at the club. Maybe in the Academy? Or perhaps in the hospitality side of things (the meeting and greeting of guests on matchdays).

Is Uwe still managing somewhere? If he's out of a job it'd be nice to give him a role at the club

Yep that's correct. But who knows, maybe he doesn't want to be involved while his son is coming through the ranks. Understandable, conflict of interest and all that

He did some panelist work for with TV 3 in Ireland for the euros and it was a pleasure to get his take on players and teams.
Not the usual anti-City bias.

on the OS, he is listed as a Norwegian. Is that Mrs R's nationality? Is it a sign of low ambition to choose Norway over Germany as your footballing nationality?

Uwe's wife is Norwegian but Colin Rosler has actually represented England and Norway at youth level. Probably just feels more Norwegian than German. He'll still be eligible for England, Norway and Germany at senior level.

Actually, that looks accurate. He grew up in Norway and only moved when 10, he feels more Norwegian and seems to have pinned his colours to Norway from now on. You'll need to let Google translate do it's magic but it works very well in this case: http://www.dagbladet.no/sport/city-...-den-ene-er-a-folge-i-farens-fotspor/60269256

Just typical of so many posters on here to look for any negativity when assessing our young players.
 
I was watching the latest training video on the official youtube channel recently and was hoping someone here could answer if the chap around the 5:30 mark is Colin or another youth player?

I haven't noticed him training with the first team before so it was bugging me trying to figure out who it was.



Transfermarkt has him down as a RB who can play CB and DM which sounds useful but I suppose we shouldn't make too much of it, as a lot of the youth team get rewarded by training with the 1st team under Pep.

Yep, that's the lad. He's grown a lot since I last saw him though.

Are we ever going to see Colin play for City?

He's turning 20 this year, his contract expires at the end of the season, it feels a bit now-or-never for him to get a game for us.

Were some rumors that he’s going on loan to NAC Breda. Garcia and THB are way bigger prospects anyway

He's absolutely nowhere near good enough so sadly not. It'll be the same for SWP's lad too sadly. Doyle is the only realistic hope on that front.
