To be fair Zinchenko was also a CFG signing. I really hope 1 or 2 more of these players get a chance at City.City will know whether a player is good enough for the 1st team or not. We've been buying CFG players with potential for years now. Most of them we then sell on at a profit having never played for us. It's our business model.
Gomez appears to fit into the CFG mould rather than 1st team. If he wasn't a left back I doubt anyone would bat an eyelid, but because we're short at left back people are assuming it's a player for the 1st team (he may well be but I didn't get that impression from what Ornstein tweeted).
There's still time in the window left yet to sign a left back so let's see what happens and then judge at the end of the window.
Correct and if we don't sign any other left back better to give him a shot here this season then loaning him. Maybe he will be worth it . Who knows. I don't see how we can sign a LB for Griona when we are ourselves struggling to get one.To be fair Zinchenko was also a CFG signing. I really hope 1 or 2 more of these players get a chance at City.
Zinchenko made more money for us than any other CFG signing, there's no better way to up your value than play for us right now (barring 1 or 2 other superclubs). Winning trophies consistently.
But people on here somewhat think Esbrand will play, what’s the difference? Gomez is a lot better.Us signing a LB thats not good enough to get any playtime here anyway would still leave us with 0 LBs. I see this as a positive. We are obviously aiming to sign a LB on a considerably higher level than Gomez for our squad.
Plus he will be backup incase of injuries. Esbrand is injury prone and if cancelo gets injured in the season, we are fucked. Atleast a extra LbBut people on here somewhat think Esbrand will play, what’s the difference? Gomez is a lot better.
Dont think many here think JWE will see any major minutes this season more than the odd sub appearance and cup games. Replacing one talent with another one doesnt make much sense since they are gonna play 500 min tops, only in "easy" games this season anyway. I could understand if someone expected Gomez to play any important part of this team if he stayed, but if that was the case he would obviously not have been loaned out.But people on here somewhat think Esbrand will play, what’s the difference?

Bit like the transfer and match day threadHaving read some of the first replies, is it any wonder Elon Musk decided against buying Twitter. Twitter is infested with f*cking childish, clueless, idiots, etc. It really is a social media football cesspit.
