Taylor Harwood-Bellis - move to Southampton completed.

Nmecha is also crying out for a loan,in fact he should be top of the list IMO.

I'd love Braaf to see sense and do the same,but i suspect that ship has long since sailed.

I think Nmecha should’ve gone this year. He’s got lots of ability but he just never convinced me for the EDS or even the u18s a few years back.

That’s where the club probably needs to see how he translates to senior football. Something could just click.

I think he could be a real slow burner, like his brother, because they have such a languid style. Like his brother I’m just not convinced they’ll make it here whereas the others I mentioned, I believe, have a better chance.

Blackburn loan not happening according to Sky, City want to keep him around the squad. If nothing else it suggests he will be involved against Birmingham at the weekend

Thought as much!
He was on the Bench Sunday V Chelsea and could again tomorrow .

I thought he was hung out to dry a bit tonight. Barely played any top flight football and asked to play out of position.

I’d have played him at centre back

 

[ninjamonkey]

Should have played centre back and Garcia right back would have made more sense for both players. Bit of a useless exercise really he's never ever going to play right back here or anywhere

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Was on a hiding to nothing. Didn’t really do anything wrong but was never going to be a good fit at RB.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Didn't do much wrong,easy scapegoat tonight.

People are saying he's played out of position... but is he really?

He's basically played as a wide RCB in a back 3 (with Mendy going left wing back).

This is Stones position all the time when Cancelo plays, Cancelo tucks ito midfield and Stones is the RCB in the back 3 often.

Position is no excuse. I don't think he played poorly, but he didn't play well either, but considering his age I'm not arsed about it.

Didn't do much wrong,easy scapegoat tonight.

Every single pass he made bar one was backwards to Garcia. Hate to say it but he had zero ambition, he must be miles away from being at the level required for the first team.
Big shame as tonight was a great opportunity to show how good he could be

He'll never be a first team regular,he isn't good enough,the best he can hope for is a bloody good loan and a chance to impress another Prem club.
