Ex City Youth Players

[Nelly's Left Foot]

Josh Murray and Joe Nuttall were at Sheffield Wednesday this morning along with 3 of last seasons under 16's who went there in the summer. Looks like we have a good link there to place very young players who we let go which is good to see.

Anyone know what's happened to James Hardy and Martin Samuelson? I thought they both looked quite tidy players but they never seem to get a game for the U18's

Don't know about Hardy but Martin has played a couple of times in the last few weeks. Doubt we will keep him though.

Why are you so critical on him? He's only 16 and seems to be a good player... Hope he proves himself in the competitions of the next season, especially in YCL.

Didn't know I was being "so critical".Just expressing an opinion that City won't keep him. He is a good player but I feel not quite at the level to make it at City especially when comparing him to all the other great talent we have in the under 18 and 17 categories.

Perhaps not the right thread but David Brooks and Joe Nuttall are trialing at Sheffield United and Blackburn respectively. Both lads played in the side that went to Singapore a couple of years back

WTF? Why did we let Brooks go? :((( <a class="postlink" href="https://twitter.com/drbrooks15" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">https://twitter.com/drbrooks15</a> He looks like a 15yo and he signed a schoolarship in 2013... And where is Nuttall? :((

Permanently too.

New York City FC have signed Norwegian goalkeeper Eirik Johansen. A product of the Manchester City Academy, Johansen spent the pre-season training with New York City FC and joins the Club on a permanent contract. Johansen has represented Norway at the youth international level.

Hailing from Nøtterøy, Norway, Johansen joined the Manchester City Academy in August 2008, singing a professional contract with the club in 2012. In 2013 he joined League One side Scunthorpe United on loan. In January 2014, Johansen joined Norwegian club Sandefjord on a six-month loan deal.

Johansen made his debut for New York City FC during the pre-season, coming on as a second half substitute in two matches, first against Brondby in a friendly and again in the match against Houston at the Carolina Challenge Cup.

Speaking to NYCFC.com Johansen said:

“I had a great experience working with squad and coaches during the pre-season and I’m excited to re-join the team on permanent basis. The quality of the training really impressed me, as did the way the team came together in such a short period of time.”

When asked about the signing, Head Coach Jason Kreis said:

“We had a good look at Eirik over the course of the pre-season, and he adapted well to the team and to our style of play. It’s always good to have strong competition for places in the team, and Eirik will add to an already strong group of goalkeepers vying for game time. It’s a long season and guys will get their opportunities for various reasons.”

That's a way to get rid of excessive talent and probably get a few £ out of it.
