Taylor Harwood-Bellis - move to Southampton completed.

Part of the learning curve, was pretty evident the quality around him was also lacking. I think the kid would have a chance at City as a 4th choice, but we really have way too many CB's as it is. He could do worse than being sold to Burnley with a buy-back/first refusal. Tyrone Mings managed to play for England, i'm pretty sure Taylor can!

I agree. From what I've seen of THB playing for Burnley he's getting better every game. Being on loan there under Kompany has definitely helped his progress. His tactical awareness and reading of the game is coming on nicely. He's playing in a composed confident manner and distributing the ball out well. If one of our regular CBs leaves in the summer i can see him coming back here, if not maybe we allow Burnley another season loan, or sell him with the first refusal buy-back clause, like you say.

Taking care of business in the Championship is one thing, doing it at OT (even against the rags' B team) is a totally different kettle of fish. He won't be coming up against that standard of opponent every week.

If I was going to trust one person to help him improve his game and to reach his full potential, I would have picked Kompany. Hopefully Burnley go up, they extend his loan through next season and the lad gets a season in the top flight.
 
Thats fucking shite,you never want injury obviously but its a huge blow to both him and the club.

Return him here and send Burns in that direction?
