LestaLad Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 I suppose the hold up with the medical Friday could’ve been cause they decided they only wanted it to be a loan?
Simonb Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 Happy enough with a loan. Final piece for the defence and leaves more money for sorting out the creative midfield side we're sorely missing. Also, with our record with injuries, if he picks up a bad one, we can send him back can't we ?
DezFox Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 A little disappointed it’s a loan, a lot of talk about is using loans from city and connection. They one of them an a player I thought was perm. Oh well
Swarles Barkley Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 Hopefully loan due to man city not willing to sell rather than us being skint
Scotch Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 I'm not too concerned with it being a loan if it means we can use what we would have paid elsewhere. 1
LCCFox96 Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 Happy with the player - great profile and what we needed. Disappointed that it's only a loan deal.
Nod.E Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 Almost pleasing that there's no option in a way. It means either City want him or he backs himself. Both are a good thing. 1
Chico1958 Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 Happy with this one, would have liked to see Trafford come along aswell to keep him company though
Tony1784 Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 How many loans are we allowed? With Doyle coming on loan and Steffen allegedly joining on loan. Could have done with a few Man City academy wingers also.

Could have done with a few Man City academy wingers also. We could yet still buy players from them, with a buyback clause inserted into the contract. It seems like initially we were trying to do that with Doyle, but seems like that was changed. So we could still get more of their players that end up going back there in some way. We have a decent number of defenders now: Coady, Souttar, Faes, Vestergaard, Doyle, Nelson. I imagine we try and move Vesty out at minimum, though I think he'd probably be amazing in this division.
scinnell Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 Fine with this. If we get promoted, give us chance to assess if we can get better next season.
TrickyTrevLeftPeg Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 Got to use the loan market sensibly and this seems a good deal. Shame not permanent but sure if we go up and he does well we'll be putting a bid in Hopefully means our available funds can go on creative players which we desperately need. 2
CloudFox Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 It is disappointing it's not a permanent move for now, but it might just be a smart move from us, given the length of time other deals are taking. Pure speculation, but we've only sold Maddison so far, so perhaps we'd have preferred to buy Doyle, but given other players aren't being sold very quickly to top up our kitty, we've elected to get him in ASAP for pre-season. That would chime with the theory from many that we haven't bought many players because we're waiting for sales to go through first. With this, we don't have to, and can at least start the season with a decent back line.

Just meh. Perhaps Man City didn’t want to sell him? Isn’t always a bad thing to loan at this level. Simply because you’ve got more scope for business when you go up. 1

If they want to sell him they would have just waiting for a club to come in with a fee? We don’t need to sell to buy, I’d argue Man City don’t want to sell, and have only agreed a loan.
Spudulike Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 Interesting to know how much we pay for this loan. Hoping that ManC pay most of his wages.
copunk Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 Happy with this He comes in and does the business, we get promoted then bid next summer if all goes well All goes to pot, he goes back to Man City and we aren't a few million short on a player who didn't cut the mustard Having said that from reviews and comments regarding the lad, it appears he will be absolute different class
scinnell Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 (edited) Any permanent move would have included a buy back, which is something I'm not too keen on. Feels like your developing someone else's player and then if he makes it, Man City activate the buy back clause at a minimal fee. Edited 11 July 2023 by scinnell

They may well not want to sell him, or they may feel that a buyback is essentially a loan if they rate him that highly . I think it's less about them wanting to sell their youngsters, and more about if people are willing to buy them. They aren't that fussed about selling them, it would seem—if they're good enough, they'll be back.
Pita Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 A great addition to the team got a lot to prove to Man City
Popular Post whoareyaaa Posted 11 July 2023 Popular Post Posted 11 July 2023 People was saying how great it would be with Enzo because we will be able to get some decent loans in now you're all moaning 6 7
Ed 1 Posted 11 July 2023 Posted 11 July 2023 Apologies if this has already been addressed but is it still max 2 x loans from one club in EFL? Slightly disappointed if it is as I guess Steffen would complete our quota from Man City.
