So having received FM21 for Xmas and looking through City's squad there were a couple of names standing out.

Mix Diskerud 30yo is still at the club, now he wasn't doing that well for NYC and we signed him on a 4 and a half year contract and loaned him out to poor standard leagues ever since.

Also, Thomas Agyepong 24yo came from the right to dream academy and is still here, well not here lol but another on permanent loan.

Erik Palmer-Brown 23yo been on loan forever but has been capped by the US recently.

and finally 2 Japanese players Meshino Ryotaro 22yo and Itakuru Ko 23yo.

Oh and let's not forget Marlos Moreno who is on his 5th loan club at progressively lower levels and the scorer of 5 goals, maybe not the striker for us after all.

There does seem to be a lot of fillers at the club with zero hope of making it or landing us a big fee and you have to wonder what the scouts have seen in these players, to begin with tbh.

Now on his 6th loan.
Made his debut for Colombia senior team in 2016 and has gone downhill each season.
I think we may have bought him around the same time as Gabriel Jesus and was supposedly as good as Jesus at the time, according to Tim Vickers anyway.
He did not have the qualifications at the time to play with us immediately hence going out on an initial loan, similar to what Zac Steffen had to do.
Not sure why he has gone downhill so much.

It brings in to question buying young players who cannot come directly to Manchester but need to go on loan.
Examples are Douglas Luiz and Enes Unal.
I think if both had come to us directly it may have been more beneficial to both player and club than to send them out on loan immediately and hope that they gain international appearances to boost their qualification in order to play for us in the Premier league.

It would be good if some of them did get on the train marked Etihad Stadia we could at least say they play for City then lol

Hope you realise that I was referring to your age, not your drinking habits. Or, in this case, lack of drinking habits. Apologies for any unintentional offence I might have caused.
