Call yourself a City fan? This may trigger your dodgy memory...Akira said:Guidetti did?? My memory must be failing me.
"Mancini wanted to see how the youngster matched up alongside the City first team, so he handed him a chance to impress on the club's pre-season tour in the United States during the summer of 2010.[7] During this American tour, Guidetti managed to make his debut for the Manchester City first team, coming on as a sub in second half in a match against Sporting Lisbon.[8] Two months later back in England, Guidetti went on to make his full debut in a competitive match for the Manchester City first team when he was selected as striker for the starting lineup in the League Cup third round match against West Bromwich Albion on 22 September 2010, in which he provided the assist for City's only goal in the game."

The irony of this statement is not lost on me, nor, I suspect, a large number of other posters.

Haha I hope it was a wind up, Judging by Ronaldo's talent at 17 to Lopez now Ronaldo showed by far more talent!
Not saying that Lopez won't shine I really hope he does but I was at that U18's game the other day and he wasn't that great having said that none of the lads were, I said to my dad that I'll be surprised if most of the lads make it near the first team bench a few may get a chance as we have seen with Lopez and Evans but they all need to develop a lot more if they want to make it at the high stage. Talking about the U18's game I was also pretty impressed with that Ellis Plummer!

It's difficult to make an assessment on a game like that where Burnley had no intention to attack at all. Arguably they left one man up front and tried to break quickly whenever the ball was knocked up to him but it was rare and mostly it was 9 or 10 behind the ball plus a keeper.
That leaves very little room to move so in a way it was great credit the the team for their patience and attempts to find a way through.I would agree we didn't have stand out players but we did have some stand out moments from very talented footballers.
Lopes is clearly a real talent and we shouldn't for get he is only just 17.I was concerned that he wasn't influential enough early on and too often just laid the ball off as soon as he got it.But on reflection many of our best moments were down to him (or Pozo) and had we taken an early one we might have slaughtered them.
Pozo the same.The lovely weighted ball he played through for Leigh early on was a peach.He has great feet and balance and when he learns to shoot and release the ball at the right time he could be very special.He is quite special already and I love watching him.A bit like Suarez with the ball at his feet maybe?
Evans is growing into his game. Plays a very good deep midfield role and seems to be learning and getting better all the time. I do think he needs to add some more attacking intent to his game but I expect that will come.

Think every fan really wants a young player in their team to watch grow and break through that's why allot of players in youth teams get well over hyped. I dare not go near RAWK to see who they are comparing sterling to.

Correct that every fan wants a young player to grow and properly break though but hopefully not too many fans go for the over hyping which can't help.
Lopes is very humble and grounded so I don't think the hype will go to his head. Stayed behind for extra training the day after he scored for the first team. It's Bruma at Sporting (who we have been trying to buy for a while) who is getting the "next Ronaldo" hype, probably best if Lopes gets no "next Someone" tags attached to him... unnecessary hype. BTW the next Ibrahimovic could play for the U21s on Monday. :)

Won't get a chance whilst Balotelli is at City. All young strikers will be held back by Mancini to give Mario his 10,11 and 12 chance.
