Maffeo and Angelino loaned to Girona

[richards30]

This has got Srna written all over it

Agreed! Still not understanding why though

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

its better that he gets some game time, but he should have been given more of a chance this season.

 

[blue ranger]

Will be absolutely gutted if we replace 2 aging fullbacks with one that's even older. 35 years old? No thanks.

 

[capiloton]

good for him. he needs to play regularly.
without sagna and zaba, pep will play with back 3.
so no point for him to sit on the bench and wait for his opportunity.

Good call for a 6 month contract.

 

[jimharri]

Disappointing, given that the lad hasn't really looked out of place when he's got into the starting XI.

 

[cibaman]

My guess is that Pep is going to see out this season with Zab and Sagna. They will then be replaced by one top class full back who will play most weeks with Maffeo as back up. Maffeo will benefit from a loan spell before becoming 2nd choice RB

 

[oakiecokie]

Strange. He has done well when they have let him play this season.

Have to agree with you Jazz.The boy looks comfortable on the ball but maybe,as I`ve said before,Pep doesn`t think he and Angelino are quite ready for regular first team action.

 

[Gingers Dad]

If City wanted him they would have tried to get him a loan at a much higher level. This loan doesn't even put him in a decent shop window.

 

[manygoose]

maybe we have definitely no use for him in the second half of the season. possibly buying a fullback in january? maybe buying a centre back and going 3 at the back?

 

[mancitymick]

Better playing some sort of football than sat on the bench

 

[B\connellblue]

So much for " gives youth a chance" should be playing for city not fucking girona.

 

[franksinatra]

No doubt this is to make way for an incoming transfer but its a shame he could not get a loan at a higher level or similar level but in England.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Stupid move. We're pissing all over these young lads at the moment.

Oh do bore off with your typical anti-Pep raving for once. Maffeo made his full City debut under Pep and has featured in the squad regularly.

It's better for him now he gets regular football and City get a defender in the January transfer window.

 

[Heart.net]

Well that's a bit shit. Instead of giving the kid the experience he needs at the top level, we've loaned him out on the premise that he needs games at an inferior level. Fair enough...but come next season, this kid will still be unadjusted to this league's demands and we'll be the lesser for it.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Thought he would of played more this season, would be very surprised if Pep didn't rate him.

He has to be at least second choice next season.

nonsense. He's gone to his brothers team as a favour.

Had anyone given a shite about the lad he'd have gotten a prem move in Jan. Weren't West Ham looked for loanee full backs? I guarantee there's 8 prem teams would have taken him.

But he's off to a shite team at a shite level.

 

[MarsLlama]

Didn't see this coming at all. Would be amazed if we aren't signing a defender in January now.

 

[MarsLlama]

ANGELINO'S GONE THERE TOO. There'd better be a good fucking explanation for this from the management.
