Better player than people probably think right now. They like him at City.
This is still a decent move. Box to box midfielder.
Who likes him at City? Not saying your wrong, obviously they think he has something or they wouldnt of made him a pro.
But you say that with such confidence I wondered what it was based on.
Had a very successful loan spell at Twente and so they rewarded him with a long term contract. Was worried about losing him last year and he going abroad and having another Sancho or Diaz effect (not saying he’s at that level).
He is a player that Pep has deliberately wanted to go out and play at this level. Have seen from a few places in the past, especially when he was capped by Wales, that they like him at City.
Feels a bit weird that we have had so many loan players who play in central midfield/defensive midfield (Cullen, Field and Smith with Kayal before them), the sort of position you'd have thought was relatively easy to fill with experienced pros (like Pratley)
34 games last season in the Dutch top flight. Can’t be too bad.
Hopefully Bowyer can do the same with him as with Gallagher.
Oh please, the usual obsession with other clubs youth player being better nonsense, he could not even get in QPR’s side! Another waste when Charlton should be doing something with their kids not Man City’s
Do come off it. No-one can sensibly argue that Charlton fail to give youngsters their shot in the first team.
That’s not what I’m saying - I’m referencing the general obsession on getting new signings and the only ones Charlton seem to look at are other people’s future profit. He’s already not done much at QPR yet now it’s ok to ignore the youth who have been thrown in the deep end these past weeks. With senior players retuning surely it’s now you keep the Charlton youngsters involved?
Youngsters from City are going to be a cut above our youngsters whether you accept that or not! Albie and the likes need to develop elsewhere and come back! Bowyer is obviously doing this for a reason!
Your still missing the point I could not give a hoot if they were, the point is he ain’t one of them and he does not belong to Charlton, so either way he’s a pointless signing who will essentially only Benefit City’s and his pockets. Your looking at bright shiny lights of city’s money and convincing yourself it must be better...

Would have made medical easier.
