We're an (almost) unique club in that we've gone from being a struggling Premier League side in serious financial straits to one of the World's richest, and our squad has improved dramatically. The youth players we had in or around the club, at all levels, when ADUG took over, simply weren't good enough for where City's first team had suddenly been thrust. To replace the entire youth squad setup, as well as improve the facilities, coaches etc is a lengthy process, it's a little harsh to claim we don't bed in youth players simply because we haven't so far. If the situation persists in another 4 or 5 seasons then I think the argument would hold far more water than currently.

That's just an excuse tbh.

If we didn't have some of the most talented kids in Europe, then I'd agree, but we do do & we are currently showing no signs of even considering bringing them through as other clubs have done with theirs.

he's only played five times for the first team which none of them showed he was worthy of displacing anyone in our first 11 so i take it, it was his loan move that swayed you?
who does he displace and when do you play him would be my question

He's played just five times but to my recollection he has 1 goal and 2 assists. Yes, his performances for Lille showed more than promise.

There's no reason why he couldn't have been a mainstay in a Capital One/FA Cup squad since he's been around the first team. Again, Sinclair got more games, Rodwell, Pantilimon etc all got a chance despite not being better than most in their position. It's not just now, this team he has to beat out but back in 2012/13 when he was around the first team there's been more than 5 chances to give him a game.

It's disappointing how it has come to this, not that he should be playing against Watford this weekend.

we are going round in circles he isn't good enough to start league games and in my opinion the occasion sub appearance and cup games is not enough for him now
