Pliskin Posted 16 July 2023 Share Posted 16 July 2023 (edited) It’s an odd one. On the face it it you’d say we’ve no chance…. But, with Enzo at the helm is increases the potential of it happening somewhat. It then boils down to what Man City want for him and his development. And if Burnley are genuinely interested you’d have to say they might see that as an opportunity for him to develop in the premier league. The risk is with Burnley is they will be embroiled in a relegation fight, which could be detrimental to his development. Imagine if he goes there and Kompany is gone by Christmas? But, I think the reason this wouldn’t come off, if because of Cole himself. Reading comments about him, he’s an extremely self confident lad who’s well aware of his own ability, I don’t think he would entertain the idea of playing at this level.

Playing when a team has a low block. Id argue that a year with a strong championship team would better prepare him for life at man city than a year getting pummeled at luton or sheffield u 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what Man City do after. They've only splashed out on one signing so far so they'll have cash to play with if they want a replacement for Mahrez (should he go).

Saxondale Posted 16 July 2023 Share Posted 16 July 2023 I do worry that just because Man City has - at great expense - assembled probably the best senior team in the world, people assume it means that their academy will consistently produce solid gold talent. This logic doesn’t follow. I’m not sure their pedigree of developing top talent is particularly exceptional. It’s all well and good us being linked with the entire Man City U21 squad, but I’m not sure it’s the guarantee of quality people think it is.

They've won Premier League 2 three years running by, at the smallest margin, 13 points. In preparation for Guardiola arriving they rebuilt their club from the ground up including turning their academy in to a c. arbon copy of La Masia. They're doing OK. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point but Doyle looked decent last season in a decent Cov side and Palmer already doesn't look too out of place in Man Citys 1st team.
