Re: City EDS vs United U21s On TV Tonight

The one thing you will always get from Drury is workrate. Loves to bomb down the wing and is encouraged to take players on with his good pace and he certainly knows how to cross a ball. His defensive work is getting better and will continue to do so as City keep on using him a s a full back.

Who are your tips for the future, nelly?

From what I recall Nelly and FantasyIreland are both confident that Denayer will make the grade. I would like to know their view of Devante Cole. He scored a hat trick in the last game and looks to be really coming on as a player.

Im pretty sure it was Hiwula who bagged a hattrick in the last game ;)
But none the less, Devante Cole is a decent player, decent technique and quite pacy. I seriously doubt that he would make it at City, maybe a championship or premier league player in the future.

I think Cole has a decent future in the game. He is talented and will no doubt forge a good career somewhere, not likely to make the grade at City but he is still young and has performed well in the youth champions league so you never know. Strikers are all about confidence and he certainly has the genetics on his side. Would love City to bring through an English centre forward.

So the win last night by the EDS - 2-1 against Rags at the Salford City stadium was a U-21's fixture.

Anyone know when we play the Manchester Senior Cup final??. - against the Rags.

We have... We just sold him.

I agree about Cole, though. I think he, Lopes, Huws, Denayer, and Bytyqi have a chance. Time will tell, though.

City EDS midfielder Emyr Huws has signed for Birmingham City on a one month loan deal.

He joins teammate Albert Rusnak at St Andrews until Friday 28 February.

"Birmingham's manager Lee Clarke had watched me in a few games for the EDS and made the enquiry to the club and it went from there," Huws told mcfc.co.uk.

"I'm really happy to be joining Albert there, obviously it helps to have someone there I know. The Championship is a really good league and I'm looking forward to getting in there and hopefully proving myself.

"It's also a chance for me to improve as a player and test myself at a really high standard of football."

Huws has been a regular member of Patrick Vieira’s Elite Development Squad so far in the 2013/14 season and received his first senior Wales international call-up in November 2013.

Emyr made his City debut on 15 January 2014 when he came off the bench to replace Micah Richards in the 77th minute of the 5-0 FA Cup third round replay win over Blackburn Rovers.

The 20-year old made 10 League Two appearances in his last loan spell at Northampton Town last season and made his most recent appearance for City in last night’s 2-1 win over Manchester United in the Barclays u21 Premier League.

Birmingham City are managed by former Newcastle United midfielder Lee Clarke and are currently in 17th place in the Sky Bet Championship.

Huws’ fellow loanee Rusnak made his debut for the Midlands outfit in their narrow 2-1 defeat to Swansea City in the fourth round of the FA Cup with Budweiser on Saturday.

You can keep up to date with how Emyr and Albert get on at St Andrews in our weekly Loan Watch feature here on mcfc.co.uk.
