Since then he’s still a Man City player but has gone on loan at Norwich, Boro, Derby, before that was Girona who they own, now he’s at Troyes II. With talent they develop like Senior Man they’re happy to sell but put in a buy back clause which I think has expired now. Absolutely rancid that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet he wished he'd gone to a club like us or Palace or Wolves, the perils of signing for a "big" club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 31 December 2021 Share Posted 31 December 2021 There was an article doing the rounds about how much money Man City have made in that network of clubs. Even players such as Aaron Mooy made them £10 million and people you forgot like Ronny Lopes came through their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea do it too, just in a different way - they don't "own" clubs, they just quite literally hoard youth players, develop them then loan them out or sell them.

The People's Hero Posted 31 December 2021 Share Posted 31 December 2021 4 hours ago, Tommy Fresh said: Exactly they're on a different level to everyone else, look at the squad of Lommel SK made up of Man City loanees or random youngsters from all over who they've probably paid decent fees for. I'd imagine if these turn out any decent they'll end up at Man City or they'll just cash in on them. This guy worked it out. There's one or two others in here willing to take a proper look and understand. The rest of you are just genuinely not in touch with the football world, how it works and how its going to work.

Praying they don’t bring Covid back to the squad There’s a bigger picture than this though They may be in the public eye, they may have the hopes and expectations of 30k City fans on their shoulders every week, but they’re no different to any other employee in the country really. Fair play to them for doing what we’re all saying needs to happen and learning to live with Covid 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
