How good is Angelino?
Can anyone see him and/or Maffeo becoming City first team players in the future?

Goal Sunderland! Michael Mandron reduces the deficit after rounding Ian Lawlor and slotting home. It's 5-2 now with three minutes to go.
I think both Angelino & Maffeo have a chance. Ability wise, they are both good enough now. It's the business of actually standing up to & defending against Premier League players rather than kids which we will have to find out about.
For actual football talent, I think they'd walk into any Premier League team, but if they are to play at that level & higher, for City, in that position, they also have to become reliable defenders against some of the world's best players.
That's the case with most of our kids now I think. We have an abundance of talent. It will be down to whether the kids are smart enough, strong enough, quick enough, to do the job when their time comes.
Does anyone know if that strike of Fofana's touched the Sunderland player ? The trajectory of the ball is bizarre.
