Holy shit we did a signing 

[FoxinNotts]

Nice

[TheGoldenGod]

Hopefully plays over Puke Thomas

[StriderHiryu]

Of all the players we were / are linked with, this one I was most excited for. I think he's got tremendous potential and left back has been a position we have struggled with for years. 

[kenny]

Youth player to compete with our own youth players, im not sure i see the point.

 

An old head on a 1 year deal would have made more sense.

Playing Style: Noted as an “explosive pace” fullback with “strong defensive capability”, according to Manchester City F.C'

[surrifox]

Hope he’s better than the last lot of loanees masquerading as footballers 

[Leicesterpool]

This could be a decent signing for us, loan market maybe vital for us this season. I am expecting a lot loans throughout the season.

An improvement on the playing style of our current defenders “ headless chicken” and “ scared of aerial challenges”

Thats the thing, I got the impression Mukasa was a talented lad with not the right attitude that knew he was returning to the glorious Man City after...hopefully this lad has a better temperament and tries to prove himself!

At left back? We don't have an outstanding prospect there within the youth ranks. Just Luke chuffing Thomas. 

[dmayne7]

Actually a good loan signing as not likely to blocking somebody else's development path, and from what I know of him, should be excellent at this level

Who's the youth competing for LB? 

[Rubbersoul]

Be good to have two energetic fullbacks that can get up and down the pitch. Something I think we’ve lacked recently.

Mukasa threw his toys out the pram early on, felt like he couldn't be bothered to turn up sometimes. When Rowett talked about players with bad attitudes, I think Mukasa was one of them.

Tbf there isn’t really anyone at LB coming through, unlike RB where we’re stacked

The fact this has been announced early makes me think there will be a few in today 

[Tuna]

6ft so he will not be bullied in League One.

[FrankieADZ]

new signing

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[FoxinNotts]

But he's gonna block the path of an under 16 !!!!

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

A position we have desperately needed someone competent in in what feels like ****ing ages. Got a good feeling about him

[TonyN11]

Great head shot, again 👏 

[Leicesterpool]

I feel he's going to be like a Sol Bamba style player, always give it go and may even net a few set pieces. 

[hejammy]

Ok so now if Luke Thomas still starts over this guy (let's face it, we could have bought Phil Neville now and it would have still been an improvement) we will know that Luke has something on the Owners/Rudders - I would say Luke (pound for pound) has been our worst "first team player out of the acadamy" ever
