Nils Zander

So City have started their summer spending by buying a 16yr old left back called Nils Zander from Shalke.
Dont know anything about him, but apparently he is a regular at German youth team and was on the verge of breaking into the first team at Schalke.

Does anyone know more about him than this?

Does that mean that Ball and Garrido are going?

Sorry, did have a quick look for a thread about this guy but didnt see one.

Have we really just signed Ned Flanders???
Is he going to bore the opposition to submission with his gospel singing and sermons?

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

I can't think this guy will be 1st backup to Bridge, my guess is that Garrido will stay, or someone else will be brought in to cover.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

This guy won't be back up to Bridge, we'll get another left back in if Garrido goes or at least a centre half who can play there

 

[nickson71]

Definately one for the future ......... we may see him on the bench in a 2-3 years if he's as good as the press have indicated

 

[Lmarkham-blueblood]

Re: FIRST SIGNING. DONE!

haha. I've heard theres more top class kids on the way aswell. This one sounds a good en.

That wouldnt surprise me the under 16s are a young side this year. City will need a few foreign acquisitions; or a few raids on English sides youth players ,to put out an under 18 side next year that is comparable to this years side.

Why do we have to buy 16 year old left backs from Germany when we have a "top class, world class, universe class academy"?

I''d shove him in on Sunday, can't be any worse than Bridge.

Yea true. All the best young players in the world should already be in our academy
