I highly doubt it. Like Hamer who went to most likely relegated to be Sheff United, for a young player especially, the lure of playing in the premier league is going to super seed going to a club in the championship. It gives the player an opportunity to prove he can play at that level, so if the team are relegated, he will be picked up by a more established premier league club despite a relegation. 3

I largely agree but a player and agent will weigh up all the pros and cons. Playing a bit part in a premier team with a large squad of talent versus a challenging championship team where they are likely to get more playing time. I think the draw of playing under a highly regarded manager like steve cooper will probably cancel out the maresca pull though to be honest. At this stage in their career they are on an upward trajectory and the main aim will be to learn and improve. I still think we have a chance to compete against the likes of Forest but generally the spotlight a premier team will bring will win as long as they get game time and they can see themselves being happy and improving. 2
suffolk fox Posted 18 August 2023 Posted 18 August 2023 Key to this will be Maresca. Didnt this player play for him when he was Man Citys Under 21 manager? I agree the premiership is a strong draw but the player himself will know Maresca so that could be key. 1
Simmo86 Posted 18 August 2023 Posted 18 August 2023 Take anything Sky say with a pinch of salt, so far down the pecking order of sources and always 2 steps behind the Twitter lot/newspapers.
DezFox Posted 18 August 2023 Posted 18 August 2023 He would never be coming here. He will go to a prem team for sure. 3

Maresca was only at Man.City for twelve months so most of their academy players are unlikely to have been influenced much by him , Callum Doyle not at all , till now. 1

Rudkin and Top spent it on a new horse or something? We obviously can't spend all the money a lot of it has gone to covering the massive losses we would have otherwise made after being relegated to the championship

He's done two seasons at Man City, 2020/21 and 22/23. In both seasons he ran the development squads, Taylor Harwood Bellis played 9 games under him in 2020/21 before going on loan to Blackburn until the end of the season. Doyle played 14 games at City under Enzo. Don't let facts get in the way 2
Mickyblueeyes Posted 18 August 2023 Posted 18 August 2023 It would be good to get this permanent even if it is with a buy back clause. If Man C are willing to trigger a buy back clause in a few years, this player would have to be brilliant. Win win. Loans are just not great.

If they fire you to promotion then great. You might have a chance to sign them later, or you might not. But either option doesn't leave you with any deadwood, which we are crippled with now.
Simonb Posted 18 August 2023 Posted 18 August 2023 Hasn't Enzo stated we're struggling to shift the deadwood and cannot bring anyone in until they've gone ? By the time we've moved on vesty etc this guy will be in his 30s 1
Outfox the Fox Posted 23 August 2023 Posted 23 August 2023 https://www.footballfancast.com/leicester-city-harwood-bellis-evans-championship-news-transfer-update/ Sounds like a £15m offer could be happening.

It really doesn't. It's source is an old Percy Tweet about us and several other clubs being interested. The rest is just fluff saying how great he'd be. Nothing to see here unfortunately.
