City will put in all sorts of clauses favourable to them and not us meaning that if we develop him well it'll be no more than a glorified loan deal and they'll take him back in a year or two.
And players we're giving valuable Premier League minutes/hours to, if they turn out to be a gem it has to be us benefitting from that, not City.
Same goes for the likes of Doak. Liverpool will want top dollar off us, and I guarantee they'll put in a 50% sell on again meaning we're developing players for the Sly 6.
Where are our scouts turning up actual gems at lower league clubs? Taking academy players off the Sly 6 is a mug's game. Previous Message
seems reasonable.
McAtee for €20 million and Oscar Bobb on loan would be awesome. And much more sensible than say Grealish and Stones.
