Hope not. Should be either back at MCFC or another loan at Champs/Prem level
I think you are underrating the huge advantages NYCFC would give. It's around the same level as mid/lower champs but we'd know he'd play most matches (not another Guidetti situation where he just sits on a bench or at home) and in a style similar to ours. I also imagine being able to train alongside Xavi, Villa and Lampard would be beneficial.
To put this into a kind of context, the Spanish second division is a massive pile of wank and yet look at all the great spanish players who played in it either on loan or in B teams. NYCFC is the closest we can get to that. playing the wrong style and learning the wrong things won't help him or us.
