Karim Rekik is 16

We signed him for a very good reason, he is a standout defender in Europe among his age group.

I watched the U17 World Cup and it was clear there as he captained Holland that he is lightyears beyond that level. If he doesn't stall somehow, he'll be an absolute keeper. Same goes for Suarez and Razak, possibly Roman.

We don't need four more 'keepers.

He's a Centre Back, mate.

Is he the first 16-year-old defender to play for City's first team since Tommy Caton (RIP) in about 1979? He was left footed as well.
I think Paul Simpson was 16 when he made his debut for us in the early 80s as well, think he set up the winner that day, but can't remember one since. Perhaps Gary James or someone with a better memory than me can advise me otherwise.

I'm sure Glyn Pardoe was quite young too. I might be mistaken, though.

Glyn was 15 when he made his debut.
