LoveCity said:That he appeared in the cup this season aged 17 (Rekik at 16) shows there are plans for him if his development continues.
Most of our youth players often struggle for a cup appearance even at 20 or so, although it has become a habit to hand out some 80-89th minute debuts to players like Wabara and Chantler recently.
Guidetti, Suarez, and Rekik are very special talents. Razak looks like he could be too. And now we have Pozo all signed up.
I'm sure some of it has to do with Suarez and Rekik coming aboard since Mancini has been in charge. The other prospects had already been here for years and years and Roberto looks a good enough talent evaluator to know they aren't talented enough to play for a title-winning side.
