- Start date

Is that aimed at me? That's the provisional World Cup squad released today, not the previously reported training camp full of domestic players.
And if it was aimed at me, you think highly of yourself if you think news of Rekik now having a decent chance of going to the World Cup is a shot at you. :-)

No I didn't think it was aimed at me, why should it be ?
But fair enough if it's another announcement, I just figured he was in it anyway as there were only 20 in the camp.
I hpe he goes to the World Cup, then it makes it easier for Pellegrini to figure out if he can be trusted in the Prem. He must hopefully have a decent chance, as I don't think you could make one decent defender out of all the others.

Just thought, does being on loan still count as a season at City for UEFA Champs League squad qualification purposes ?
If not, then we could have a problem if he wants to stay out on loan & we need to register him as a 'home produced' player. If he did make the grade, he would be taking up a senior squad place in europe
Surely, if the club do rate him, we would have to bring him back if that was the case ?
Also, if he does get to the World Cup & do well, we have the next rags manager in charge of him, & they will, without one shadow of a doubt, try to tap him up if they think he's any good. Thinking about it now, if he is the prospect some of you think he is, it might actually be better for us if he doesn't go, as he would be a lot closer to getting a game in the rags team than ours. They can offer him a fast track to the first team. They will, if they think he's any good.

Looking at the rule from UEFA, it seems that it does
18.10 A “club-trained player” is a player who, between the age of 15 (or the start of
the season during which he turns 15) and 21 (or the end of the season during
which he turns 21), and irrespective of his nationality and age, has been
registered with his current club for a period, continuous or not, of three entire
seasons (i.e. a period starting with the first official match of the relevant
national championship and ending with the last official match of that relevant
national championship) or of 36 months.

Ah cheers.
I think his contract runs out in June 2016, so if he's away til summer 2015, & he does have a brilliant next season on loan, he will hold all the cards when it comes time to renegotiate & would be able to pretty much choose where he plays. It might be time to back him with a new deal/extention if they think he is going to make it, considering the rags manager will know him better than Pellegrini does
I think Rekik is here for the long haul.
With Mangala coming in this summer, the club will have to choose between Nastasic and Rekik. I think the club will choose Rekik since he counts as homegrown and also club trained (I think).

I thought it was odd that the MEN article about Txiki's summer transfer scheme never mentioned Rekik. The rest of it seems pretty well reasoned and probably substantiated thru City sources.CityFan94 said:I think the club will choose Rekik since he counts as homegrown and also club trained (I think).
