He genuinely wasn't that great when he played for Girona, one really good performance versus Barcelona aside.
It was a clear case of a then 19 year old with minimal first team experience and zero experience in European football who plays in a position that isn't traditionally as forgiving to younger players being thrown in the deep end a bit. The Girona manager wasn't picking any City players as favours either, he picked the players he thought were for the best of the team on the day.
If there's any gap in the squad, it might be in his position, so he might not get loaned out which would be interesting.
