Hope so seem completely out of the blue if he was waiting on us. But as I said has looked good anytime I have seen him and he ticks all the boxes for me think him next to Dias will be brilliant.Maybe he only wants City especially if Haaland put good words on him and convince him to join us?
Tbf I think that guy lives in French Polynesia. He might be rightAnnounced tomorrow at 10am
I think with the local academy lads they get a lot more leeway than most player and we try and stick with them more foden has off day but we don't get on his back like a maherz or something if it all works out then good I'm happy just not a far or getting rid of youth so quickIf THB was good enough for a tough top flight season, don't you think Pep would trust him to play a part in the first team?
City are in a difficult position. We've proven to be perennial title challengers recently, which means we've little opportunity to allow meaningful minutes to our EDS so they can learn on the job.
I can imagine the fans meltdown if we'd kept THB, Lavia, Doyle, Delap & promoted JWE, Palmer, Mbete & Lewis to the first team & sacked off this transfer window.
The reality is that we're fighting for titles & Pep will only invest longterm with players who are better than what we have, or possess the quick potential to be better.
This is why we send players out on loan, or sell them with a buyback clause or sell-on fee. We develop our players, but send them out to gain "Man Football" experience. Only the elite of the EDS will remain with us beyond 20 to see how they fit in going forward.
Some of us need to face the fact that City are not a work experience project. THB doesn't possess the quality or experience at the highest level of football like Akanji. THB may develop to be a better player than Akanji in the future, but that won't help us right now when we need it.
I haven't watched this new guy so hopefully he isTHB is not good enough right now.
But way we signing this guy if he's just gunna chill on the bench for 180k a week I would do that for 80k a week hahawhich would be worse for his development than playing week in and week out.
Yeah whatever it is, 3331, 3322. It works a treat3-4-2-1?
That’s probably classed as racist or xenophobic these days, but it’s funny to me. :-)Cuckooclockerella ?
And dry pitches…And a fear of witches.
If we hang onto our EDS through sentiment, aren't they stopping to progress of those behind them?I think with the local academy lads they get a lot more leeway than most player and we try and stick with them more foden has off day but we don't get on his back like a maherz or something if it all works out then good I'm happy just not a far or getting rid of youth so quick
