I'm expecting alot of our best spanish talents to go there rather than the Dutch clubs for example. So I can see Maffeo, Garcia, Diaz and Fernandes there as well as Moreno and maybe Zinchenko (who I think could be amazing there playing in a technical league).

I read that there will be 16-17 players released from the club so Aleix Garcia should get plenty of time if he does end up there on loan, or any of our youth for that matter. With them being promoted I think this is where all the top kids ready to go on loan will go in the hopes that they can keep them up with a slim budget. Also hope they are actually looked after better than the previous situations we found ourselves in with this season's loans. Twente and NAC Breda have worked out well, even with Brenda's president having some words about us.

Well, if we manage to keep Pere Pons, and we still have players like Maffeo, some additional moves will be appreciated. Girona only has 3 foreigners, I think, so we can increase its cultural diversity ;).

As far as I know, none. I have seen teams with nearly 10 loans.
Second, you should remember Girona is one of the poorest teams in second division. In debt, and without any first division flight in their history. In 2012 the club was sold for 1 euro. In 2014-2015 season, the budget was 4 milions, the second lowest of second division. Don't expect us to pay the salaries of such players (or any players, really).
I don't have any confidence in staying in first division. I think we will be 18th at best next season if nothing special happens.
Hey
Nice to have you on the forum, assuming you are a Girona fan!
Can you tell me more about your team, star players, area's where you need to strengthen, which players from City would your fans be excited to have play for you? Also how did Maffeo do on loan, think he will be ok in the top flight next year?
Regarding wages being paid, i dont think anyone on this forum expect Girona to make any meaningful contribution to wages.
If they get a few of our players i'll be watching and followinh them next season.

I don't know how this works in England, but in Spain, small teams (even first division teams) can have a lot of changes each season (end of contracts specially, and selling players) . Losing ten or more players it is not a surprise to anybody.
So, let's say that we maintain our players. Which won't happen, though. Then we need a keeper (we sold Becerra (u19 Spain European champion) and we are still suffering it).
Our star is clearly Pere Pons. It's a player that can and should have been playing in first division but stayed loyal in the club he has been since he was a kid. You will see it next season when he gets more exposure in first division.
Maffeo has been our best defender (we haven't defended too well, at the start of the season we have at some point received the most goals of the entire division. That means we need defenders like him, please) , and arguably our second best player. Kudos to him. I hope we manage to keep him next year.
I will also have a shout out to Longo, as his goals haven been important. We are the team that has scored the most goals in second division.
Also comment that it is quite cheap to watch a match (specially pre 2015). One season for less than 250€ is quite nice. I hope the don't rise much the price.
Edit: i really can't tell what players would be good, as I don't watch city that much. The champions league fixtures, and odd match here and there. You can tell me what promising players could do well in first division level.

Thanks for the insight.
Think Alex Garcia has been or is about to join you guys on loan for a season, he has had a handfull of 1st team games. Hes highly thought of and from what i have seen of him he is a ball playing midfielder, he's played the pivot for us and he has good vision, ball retention and passing range - hes not the quickest and he needs more first team games as his match sharpness isnt there and you can see him dwell on the ball a bit, that will go away with exposure to the first team.
We have an exciting prospect in our academy called Diaz but he is only 17 so expect him to stay with us for now.
A couple of the lads were loaned out in Holland, would expect them to be candidates for you guys..

Why not send Foden, Diaz and Sancho. If they get 10 games each their development will accelerate twice as fast as staying in the academy.
More likely though:-
A. Moreno
Tosin Aderabyo
A Garcia
Manu Garcia
A Zinchenko

Well, Pere Pons, Portu
Then, with less imortance
Alcalá Aday, b. Garcia, Granell maybe even Ramallo,
These are the players that should play. All the other positions ready to be filled. Longo is from inter, so no chance we keep him. The club has announced around 10 incorporations, Masip and Muniesa seems basically done. Maybe Juncá will return, maybe even sobrino.
Overall, Girona plays a lot with three man defense. I suppose this will help man city players to adapt, as they already know about attacking football. So attacking players will have fun.
Pd: reforms of the stadium will be made this summer in order to put the stadium in order for first division.

Interesting,a defensive midfielder......i wonder if we will have an eye on his development too?

Well, he's 24 I think. He's good, but not to start at City. Maybe to start at Vila-real, Celta, or similars.Interesting,a defensive midfielder......i wonder if we will have an eye on his development too?
