Watch this of Gundogan and tell me that this isn't exactly like watching one of Jack's performances for Cambuur.



Obviously Gundogan is at a much higher level and Jack's got a way to go, but stylistically it's nearly identical. Even down to the physique and the way they move. I find that REALLY encouraging personally. If Pep likes Gundogan, then he must surely like the way Jack goes about his game.

The way Gundogan makes space for himself is a joy to behold. Before he's even in possession of the ball he's already changing direction to give himself time and space to make his next move - be it a carry, a quick one-two, a through ball or a 40 yard crossfield pass. So intelligent and technically gifted. Not only that he's full of bite and energy, a true all rounder.

The Byrne comparison stylistically I hadn't realised but it's definitely there. Imagine how much he could learn and improve training and playing with Gundogan every day.

He reminds me abit of Wilshere. Obviously less of a gobshite

Fantastic news he's not going to be working with those gobshite fucking morons & will be working with Pep Guardiola instead.

Apart from the big money stars, half the players who go to the euros, of any age, are putting their City careers in the balance imo. If Pep finds someone to do the job he wants, who he's really happy with, that player will start. Be great if Denayer didn't go & Sterling picked up a niggle.

Jack's got it spot on here. Work hard, show the boss what you can do. Good luck to him.

I think his chances have gone up 100% not being hijacked by those clueless tossers.

Not sure which gobshites or tossers you are referring to, but I agree it is probably best that he is not going to the Euros.
He is well thought of in the Irish camp and seen as one definitely for the future. Keane himself has singled him out as being a very bright prospect.
I saw him in the U21's qualifiers where he was picked against Italy. He was the one shining light of hope in a pitiful performance against Italy, where Ireland
were beaten 4-1 at home. He also played against Slovenia where they were beaten 3-1.
From what I saw, he had nobody around him on the same wavelength.
We (Ireland) don't have a lot coming through and I think the management team have high hopes that he makes it. It was probably to late for him to be fast-tracked into
the European Championships.
I hope that disappointment for him is quickly followed by first team call ups for City pre-season.

Specifically, Martin ONeil & Roy Keane. Football dinosaurs. Can't stand either. But tbf, it could possibly be that they also think it's better for him to be with Pep pre season than as a wild card at the Euros & that they will benefit from it in the future.

Thanks for the info anyhow. It really seems like Jack has a big future ahead of him if he keeps working hard.

I'm glad he hasn't been called up, I want Pep to have a good look at him this summer. He's one of those players that could definitely have a squad role and probably wouldn't mind sitting out every so often if he got decent game time across the whole season.
 
Would've liked to see him involved in pre-season, but Blackburn wil be a good part of his development as long as he gets regular game time.

So pep doesnt even want to have a look at him? Not a good sign. Shame

I really wanted to see Byrne in the squad next season, but I wouldn't assume Pep hasn't even looked at him. He's got a full seasons of Eredivisie tapes to look through, and if he's phoned up and spoken to Yaw Yeboah, you can guarantee he's spoken to Byrne.

I get the impression Byrne really wants to play a lot of football now - I seem to recall an interview where he said it was great nailing down that 10 position at Cambuur and playing every single week. Wouldn't surprise me if he turned down a cameo role in the first team for a full season at Blackburn.

And like @Ric said preseason would have been nice, but perhaps it's better he's in Blackburn's pre-season so he can hit the ground running.
 
Competition in Byrne's position would have been fierce at City this coming season and the last thing you'd want would be to ruin the progress he made last season by seeing him play very sparingly this season. The assumption must be that, if he's going to be good enough to play for City in the near future, then he's certainly good enough to nail down a regular starting spot at Blackburn. A year of regular Championship football will do him the power of good.

Exactly.

A seasons loan at a club like Blackburn is ideal at this stage,he is literally up the road,a close eye will be kept on his performances and the experience and physicality of the Championship will be a superb enviroment to judge his potential.
By rights,if he has any chance here,his ability should stand out in a mediocre Blackburn midfield and that can only aid his confidence and development and maybe even get him National recognition in preperation for 2018.

A great move IMO.
 
Disappointed about this to be honest. If we didn't want him and couldn't find a a Prem club for him I would have much rather seen him stay on the continent. I think playing in Europe is a good learning experience for the lads from the UK and Ireland
 
As others have alluded to, I believe, this is a really nice move. He should get some extensive minutes and valuable experience in the Championship. He's an hour away at Blackburn so he'll be right in our backyard.

The next city player that needs to be loaned out to a championship squad is Gunn. Lad needs some minutes. Too good for EDS.

But not to stray off topic......:-)

He was never going to get a premier league loan. Playing well in a terrible Dutch team doesn't get you that, none of Chelsea's foreign loan legion get premier league loans after their loans at Vittese, who are a much better side. A Championship loan is as high as you can hope for and it gives him the perfect opportunity to show the other side to his game. He's shown at Cambuur he has the skill if he has the time, now he just has to show he has the fight to do that when people are kicking lumps out of you.

Hopefully we have the option to bring him back early if need be as well, which is usually the case with domestic loans, as he can't be too far down the pecking order in case of injuries in central midfield.
