ah sorry no he just made it clear he wouldn't extend as he saw no path to 1st team football. Think ManC got pretty big wedge for him considering he had never played a senior game.
Cheers. I didn't know too much about him but kept hearing his name. Just been YouTube scouting, he looks ****ing insanely talented for his age. Different breed. Im sure he started at Watford?
dunno mate he was at City when i first heard / saw him but yeah often the bigger clubs poach youngsters from smaller clubs like QPR .
Think it was about 15m or something. Boys ripping it up in the bundesliga. Looks a proper gem. Hope he tells city to **** off if they try to exercise the buy back clause
Yeah was at Watford and moved to city. Haven’t seen him for Dortmund but looked impressive in his England cameos as well. Brace on the ball and willing to run at players. Hooefully it shows young English players that going abroad can be really beneficisl to your career
been quite a few over there in the last few years seems a very popular route both for our players and some of their clubs.
Dortmund are a very aggressive club in terms of under age recruitment as they have to be as Bayern just steals everyone.
not just them just off the top of my head Lookman was at Wolfsburg & Riess Nelson at Hoffeheim but am sure there are others.
I like that some English players finally have the balls to go sample a different culture (not on loan) to build their career. its be easy to sit in city's u23s and collect the contract they have given. city have so far shown little.intent to do much bar buy. its now time for foden and diaz to.come through. if city buy to replace Silva and not use foden I would say they have shown they are Chelsea mark ii. We took Duncan out of there.... there's so many young lads there you can get gems for nothing
Personally think its great to see players going abroad to learn different styles of football and different cultures..from an English perspective its exactly what we've missed in recent times.
Bobby Robson Roy hodgson who else has gone abroad to learn their trade as a manager? clemence? more sacks than a coal man.
my post wasn't about English managers going abroad. it was more to do with English players going abroad to learn different styles, yet we keep playing the same boring way as a nation. shame hoddle was too early as an English manager.
