I don't think I've seen him play at 10 for City. He plays out wide for City and England too. Foden is a 10 and he's bloody great at it, much better than ICP there I'd wager.

Agreed never a 10. Maybe in 6 or 7 years?
Poveda, Garre and Matondo are the current best wingers from our academy, would be a shame if we couldn't integrate atleast one.
Similarly, would be a shame if we couldn't integrate one of Richards, Felix Nmecha or Bernabe as attacking midfielders.
And one of Lukas Nmecha, Gonzalez or Touaizi as a striker.

I sadly don't think any of them will make it tbh. Maybe Bernarbe, but even then Foden has his spot. It's not that i don't think they're talented, it's just i don't think they'll get a chance. Brahim is higher rated than any of them and he doesn't really get a proper go at it. Can't see it changing for any of them.
Pep seems to be quite positive about Nmecha, Bernabe and Eric Garcia. Hopefully at least one of them could make it. I`m actually confident that Muric, Eric Garcia and Foden will make it here, and I haven`t given up on Harwood-Bellis, Bernabe, Nmecha, Richards, Matondo and Poveda making it here ( of course not all of them)I sadly don't think any of them will make it tbh.

Think Garcia has a bit of a chance, yeah. Muric is class but unless Ederson goes then why would he play I guess. It's tough for keepers. Felix Nmecha doesn't strike me as well rounded enough. Really nice player but doesnt have Foden's level of natural ability IMO.
I used to be really positive towards youth development but I've kinda realised you have to be genuinely exceptional to get a look in now i think. Foden and Sancho were two of the top 10 in the world in their age group. I don't think we have any of them at the moment in the EDS. Maybe Garcia. Maybe Bernarbe... that's not to say i don't think they're very good, i just think the barriers to entry are so so big.
I have learned to not get my hopes up about it, all I can hope for is there are TOO many young talents out there that the Dortmund's or Monaco's of the world cannot possibly handle all these youth, so hopefully we can convince them to stay longer at City.I sadly don't think any of them will make it tbh.

I think for Muric, being the cup keeper at Man City is a very good chance to still play regularly, considering that Cillessen is still the #1 keeper for Netherlands while being Barca's back up.Think Garcia has a bit of a chance, yeah.

I think the wingers have a better chance than the attacking midfielders due to how many we have, while I think Felix is something special possibly getting to Foden level.
