Why did we loan him out for 18 months when a new manager was coming in the summer?

We wouldn't have paid as much as we did if he wasn't a big talent. lets just remember he's playing league 1 standard football before people get carried away though
He might never make it at City.
Doesn't mean he couldn't skin a few players & win us a game or two. Same as a whole bunch of others.
Well, naval is a different category of player altogether.And to think we have Navas getting game time................
His role, if he had stayed here, would have been to play 30 minutes at a time as a sub. Unfortunately he was well behind demichelis in the pecking order in that respect, so...
There is no way he would fit into are system, he goes forward and can beat a man .
Proper talent
Hmmm....not sure I like the sound of that!

Because Celtic are a proper club & aren't doing us a favour. The alternative would be sitting on the bench at some shithole, like Brandon Barker was.

That as well as the fact we have a director of football who's job it is to plan for the long term and as part of that is loan deals like this.Because Celtic are a proper club & aren't doing us a favour. The alternative would be sitting on the bench at some shithole, like Brandon Barker was.

We paid £12M for him, at least we know if he doesn't make it here, Celtic would snap our hands off for him. We'll get our money back at least. I can't wait to see him back here for the 17/18 season.
With Pep, I think its as much about personality and wanting to learn as it is about raw natural talent.
Pep will do his homework on the lad and no doubt speak with him and if he thinks he can improve him and make him a part of our future he will be back, make no mistake about it.
