I wonder if this is one of the ideas to be able to sign up promising South American talent?
I reckon some of our promising academy lads will be going there on loan as well.

Maybe, but I think Portuguese clubs are viewed as being the most beneficial for taking in South Americans.

Apparently we are now buy Pedro Alcala, a 20 year old full back from Llagostera for 100K and loaning him
to Girona.
It has stirred things up a bit, if a Spanish club bough him they would have to pay 400K.
I don't know if this kid is a good prospect or not but it would seem that the intention is to help Girona get
into the top flight where we can use them and loan out players to get La Liga experience.

Wow...3 players buy from City and loan to Girona.

"Kid" is the wrong word. He's 26 and has spent his whole career in the Spanish lower leagues. If we are buying him then we have no intention of bringing him to Manchester, ever - we're just doing it to give Girona a free player.
If true, this is a very good move. Having a feeder club in La Liga (eventually) would be super beneficial to City. This would allow some of the younger lads to get extensive playing time that they probably wont get at the parent club thus keeping a good pipeline of fit and experienced prospects.

Yes your correct, I was told he was a youngster so not a prospect for us.
But interesting stuff going on over there, helping Pep's brother out !

So we have signed the Sobrino kid, looks like this new partnership/feeder club thing is underway.
Does anyone have any clear details about it?
