bored of saying it but what a fucking stupid decision it was loaning out him and denayer.
If them them and kelechi had got regular game time this season would have been very different. They certainly would have played with a bit of desire unlike quite a few in our squad.

its why football and city are crazy????? loaning out your youth only for the club to spend £millions on so called superstars that don't give a shit after they got there big money deal. for me its easy to sort out just bring back the reserve league and make players play in them with the youth. forget loaning out to championship football they need to be playing with better players and not a level below
reserve league works and keeps the squad of players fit and ready to play for the first team unlike at the moment you have 7 to 8 players not playing a game of football and 5 more that sit on the bench each week it also helps the youth play with better players

Yep. He's our player. There might be some sort of financial penalty involved though for cutting the loan short.

Patrick isn't returning to our first team next season, guys. We offered a 6-month loan. Celtic said no -- that there was no point in them developing a player for us, only to have a vacuum in his absence the following season. We said fine, under the circumstances we'll accept a longer loan in favor of them developing a player for us. That was the deal.
I don't love it either, but he wasn't getting first team football under Pellegrini (different subject altogether), and he was wallowing in the EDS without signs of promise. Other loans have gone pear-shaped more often than not, but Celtic have fielded players we've sent them. And we're not going to throw away a fairly tight relationship with a football club to get a 19 y/o footballer back one season early. This is a business, and relationships are cultivated carefully.
Hopefully the kid keeps improving, we get what we wanted out of the deal, and he slots straight in to a promising young side this time next year.

Don't understand the comments. Looks a great decision to send him there rather than some championship side with a manager too scared to play him. Will come back in a years time much wiser having played against much more physical opponents than he will ever encounter in the EDS.
