Whats next?
FIFA and UEFA to clamp down the way way City sells chips at half time after finding its unfair on the way other sides sell chips?
I imagine there will be much more specific City related rules in the future, which is why we should be trying to get as much use out of our homegrown players as possible imo. We haven't even got to the Brexit stuff yet & what the cartel try to do to us under that excuse.
Well that's a pretty lousy reply tbh.
None of the players listed have 'failed' anywhere & it's a pretty piss poor argument to say on one hand, the ex academy players are not good enough for our squad, but on the other hand ex academy players are too good for our squad.
This is typical of the ridiculous catch 22 shite people have been spouting on here for years.
In other words our academy players are not suitable for a place in our squad, in any circumstances no matter what they do.
As for Mooy; yes I'm desdly serious, he was comparable with our players when he played against us & would findbit much easier playing in our team. Ideal utility player, who we hwd already signed.
We just played a Champs Lg game with a young attacking midfielder who can't defend, playing fullback & displaying the passing range of Tony Adams
Angelino is as good as Mendy on the ball & equally as bad as Zinchenko defensively, therefore better than Zinchenko. Maffeo has already proven himself a perfectly adequate stand in right back, arguably our best player away at the swamp. Neither are ideal, both were free & in a well run system, would have been brought through as club produced players & spend a few years playing for City.
People can pretend this is all impossible, to suit their arguments but they are talking shite
If Pep was forced to start 3 or 4 of our former loan players in every game, he would find a way to make it work & we'd still challenge near the top.
The idea we can't have used one or two in our squad, is total shite.
So when do you start your next managerial post. You obviously have hindsight nobody else has.
This board makes me laugh sometimes with all the KN telling everyone what they would do.
I have total faith in Pep and the club but we are at the point re the academy where we just have to start trusting the players coming out of it and play them, even if it means in the short term possibly not winning things.
Losing Sancho was one thing but to then go on and lose Diaz would be ridiculous imo and all because the lads just cant or wont be given game time.
Important the fans play their part in this though and understand that it might mean we drop points now and then for the longer good.

Regarding Mooy - you've completely missed the mark. Whilst I agree he would have been a fine squad utility, as a player, leading up to a world cup, merely being a squad player wouldn't have been good for him. He needed to be playing week in, week out, and he wouldn't have got that at City.
You can't simply just put the individual players own desires/requirements to the side because it would benefit City.
