The Official Manchester City Premiership Champions Thread

Pep was talking about this the other day.
His view is no matter how good a very young prospect is from the academy is, it a huge step up to be suddenly playing against world class stars costing millions, so unless they are exceptional they prefer to loan them out to (say) a championship club for a couple of seasons to learn their trade playing week in week out.
You can only learn so much in a classroom and training pitch.
Obviously Phil Foden is an exception, he is ready now to slot straight in if needed.
