FantasyIreland said:Irish youth international midfielder Jack Byrne is to be handed a new three-year deal by Manchester City. The 18-year-old starlet has been labelled one of the brightest talents to come out of his homeland in a long time. Byrne has starred in City's elite development team this term and was invited earlier this week to train with the first team by boss Manuel Pellegrini. He will discuss improved terms in the next few weeks and is expected to be sent out on loan next season. The youngster has also defended Pellegrini, following his comments that City don't yet have anyone good enough to come through their £200m academy. Byrne told the Irish Independent: "He (Pellegrini) has brought the youths, U21s and first team together, whereas we'd use different facilities to the first-team before. "Mancini would walk by you in the corridor without even saying hello. Pellegrini has a lot of respect for the academy players." - See more at: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.sportinastorm.com/Premier-League/Manchester-City/Starlet-set-for-City-deal/X1Y47Z1913935#sthash.PumcRBu4.dpuf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.sportinastorm.com/Premier-Le ... cRBu4.dpuf</a>

I think for a player like Jack a year in the Dutch league would improve him a technical league were he would be encouraged to pass the ball around something were in England he may not be. Nice for him to get a 3 year deal at the club shows his hard work is being watched by MP but his loan spell away must be suited to his style of play where he can get game time and see how he gets on.

I'd like it if Barker and Angelino went Celtic next year. That'd be brilliant.

If they can't get in our team yes, but I hope they play for us. There was a Premier League team supposedly scouting Barker recently. Villa maybe ? People assumed it was for this season, but it could have been for next season.

Arse you sure about that through personal knowledge, or are you just going off the press assuming that to be the case at the time ?
The media said it was an attempt to sign Barker, but there is no chance of that, so the assumption was that it was really a loan they were looking at.
