Looks like not ALL of the talent is leaving then...
Some nice positive PR after the recent news...
In all seriousness. Lovely stuff :)
It probably helps that he's been here for a fair whack of time too. I feel he was really unlucky with the timing of his injury, because I reckon he may have got a run out in the community shield game if he hadn't, and that was probably his shot at it. As it is, I think it may be v difficult to have that opportunity again. He's certainly very talented though and hopefully whichever club we pick out for him decide to actually play him.
Nah.And hopefully, for once, we are signing a player with a view to actually trying him out, rather than just to make a few quid off him.

Hey all, Wycombe fan here (I'll spare you in "in peace" bit, as if we could be rivals!). Absolutely chuffed that your club is trusting us with this lad - he sounds like one of that rare breed...a youth player that may make the starting eleven eventually. According to our manager, there were some bigger teams interested and it did not come down to money, so I have to respect that it sounds like Man City were looking for the best landing spot, irrespective. We have no money, being fan owned (for now), and it is a huge coup for us to have a Man City player come on board.
On our side, we are increasingly known for developing young talent. Gareth Ainsworth is a positive, encouraging manager, and our team has a tremendous unity over the past couple of years, getting promoted last season and punching above our weight in League One. We usually have three or so loanees per half season, and they usually all see significant time, and I would expect to see Bolton get a lot of minutes. I am hoping it is a win-win, in that he helps keep us in League One, while we repay the faith by developing him. We have a lot of older players in the team who should be good for an arm round the shoulder, so to speak.
Either way, the thought of maybe someday seeing him on telly for Man City having seen him for half a season in the blue quarters is quite amazing. All the best to you and your club. You do seem to do things the right way!
