    Alfie harrison

    Has anybody seen this kid playing? Is he gonna be part of the squad next season, think he’s only 18, but there’s plenty of 18 yr olds strutting their stuff in the PL. I just wonder if he’s such a talent why City didn’t nail him down?

    I only hope he turns out to be one of the gems they let go

    Same reason why Palmer left for Chelsea. City has a real challenge getting the sheer volume to top top quality talent through to the first team.

    Tosin is also a City academy graduate, as are many other players in the prem and other Europe's top leagues.

    That Noni Madueke fella at Chelsea, Roméo Lavia, James Trafford etc etc were all at City.

    We're also after that young lad from Arsenal who's supposed to be top top quality and players Right wing. I dislike the comparison game, it's lazy journalism but he's supposed to be 'The Next Saka' (puke!).

    EH has proven he's created the ideal environment for ambitious young players to thrive. This is the prefect time to join the project before the club stacks it's own levels of quality in the academy and we end up somewhat 'bloated'.

    Hopefully we don't end up going that far.

    He's looked very solid in the highlights I've seen of him.

    I suspect he'll be involved on the edge next season, partly cos I think that is the pathway he was sold by the club.

    I read someone who'd watched him play saying that he was technically and tactically very good but needed to bulk up.

    Might have read that on here, mind.

    Mad Dog will have him on the Roids, HGH & TRT over summer he'll come back like CR7 did after that first year and Man U, full of Bull seaman and steadz. Ronaldo went from being a skinny kid to a no neck juice head in 3 months. No one said a word.

    Classic Shady Fergi Man U blindness
