Would be surprised if this lad came back.

And you're basing that expert judgement on what exactly?

Certainly can't be through watching him play for Barnsley.

No way his Dad will be leaving him there.

Not good enough for us.

So that means he won't come back ? They will force him to stay at Barnsley & never show his face at our academy again ?

And if he does we'll presumably tar and feather him...

I think he could be from what I've seen of him on loan this season, he's very raw but the ability is there, it's down to whether he'll start to mature early enough to force his way into the squad at city imo.

I was talking figuratively. Obviously he won't be at Barnsley all his life but he won't be good enough for us, in my opinion.

Personally I think it will be a similar case to Huws: a Championship club will put in a reasonable bid and we'll accept.

You may be right. He would have to improve considerably & probably beef up a bit. But he is fast, skiiled & scores goals. He puts a reasonable shift in too, so imo has a chance if we work on him.

If we let him go, it will be because of the other talent coming through. Five years ago we certainly would have persevered with him & made sure before writing him off.

We got many (if not all) those 28-30yo players being shite, and we see some youngsters being either shite too or too shy on the field, so the only option till the transfer windows seems to play the youngsters who play well, but... we either loan them or sell, pellegrini still makes the same mistakes, he doesnt sell shite and instead, puts this shite in the squad and in the starting XI without changing those playing shite. Moreover, I'm sure we'll see even more pellegrini's very old friends (32+) and lisping spanish wankers very soon, still regressing with this anti-football style of play with random results and awfull play
