Has looked very good in pre-season. Seems unafraid of having the ball, even in tight areas, passing is quick, crisp and accurate, he seems to get the ball, control it well, and then find a teammate without any fuss, or dithering.

He's probably not yet ready to be in City's first team, and would no doubt benefit from 12 months out on loan, preferably in a league where his style of play is better appreciated (i.e. not the "kick him, he knows how to control a ball" style of the Championship).
 
He is a phenomenal talent considering he's only 17. Probably would limit his development to involve him sparingly in the first team this season so would be good to send him to a team that works the ball well where he'd get games regularly: I assume some mid table La Liga side would fit the bill. Like I said on twitter after the match though, I never thought replacing Silva would be possible until I saw this lad's quality. 17!?!?
 
It would be an absolute waste to keep him in the EDS. He's not ready for the first team and he wouldn't get enough game time to warrant a promotion to that level. The club recognise his talent because he's been fastracked up the age groups. If we can get him a loan somewhere that would be ideal, somewhere they focus on technique rather than physicality. The Spanish leagues would be ideal.

If not then the next best place is the EDS, with opportunities given to him in the cups where possible.

I thought Lopes and Barker were very impressive and Nacho obviously worked hard all game as well. It says a lot when all the fluidity and movement is coming from younger players and someone like Navas lets the move down with a typically woeful shot.
 
12 months ago now,and probably most have already seen it..... but this piece of ability just shows how naturally the game is to him

 
I'd imagine his fitness levels aren't at the level of a first team player yet, so I can't imagine he'll be going out on loan this year. He hasn't even had a regular season at EDS level, so I'd be very surprised if he wasn't doing that this year, with Pellegrini keeping an eye on him.
