@Vtid Why the reaction? You don't think we have a chance of loaning an 18 year old who hasn't played a league game yet and who came through our academy?

It’s a long shot I feel. Would love it to happen obviously & at his age he certainly needs to be playing more mens football. I just can’t see it happening that’s all

A CM so I've be amazed if that's true given we have about 8 of them, unless Lowe et al were/are lined up to be shipped out?

Hence me asking if there's any chance if we could, given we sold him to them (and hopefully have a big sell on clause waiting...)

Imagine this ball control against a load of lumbering L2 oafs, it'd be hilarious.

Be shocked if we didn’t save a sell on clause in place. Fancy him as a full international in the next 2 years along with Arblaster 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Yeah I don't think he's far off a full cap. N'dala was promoted to the U18s when he was 15.

The current Eng U21 head coach is Lee Carsley who used to the manager at Man City youth so he'll know him inside out. I imagine we could see N'dala squaring it across for Dipepa in England (U21) shirts next year.

I don't see Dipepa jumping 4 age groups in such a short time.

Chislet picked up a knock but still travelled 🤔 I think Wynne has been released, maybe it’s around his missus due to give birth possibly. Reckon Grant will be on his way myself. Moore did comment on Byers can’t remember him saying if he’s got a knock or not though 

I’m sure DM said in his interview that players are currently at different fitness levels, alluding to Byers. So I assume he’s just behind on his fitness and is doing fitness separate from the group to get him up to speed

Yeah that’s what I thought he said around Byers mate 👍🏻

I don't think we could have insisted on a sell on clause as he was not under professional contract to us due to his age.
Could be wrong

Agreed mate it’s wise to have the two holding away from home & Stockley as the target man. Be nice to see us with two up front & giving it a good go at home 

Also great to have serious goal threats to come off the bench after 60/70 mins with fresh legs.

My mistake, didn't realise we had so many seperate teams.

N'dala is only 7 months older than Baylee so might see them playing together soon, they'll both be 18 between Jan-May next year.

I’ve read somewhere we got around 300k for him with added bonuses for making a first team appearance at City & also a first full international cap. All speculation obviously but if true you’d imagine there’s a sell on clause too, like yourself though I have no idea how that works with someone so young

Nobody we want to see depart will command a fee. Be lunacy for someone to pay for Jones,Lowe,Debrah or Grant.

I agree more will exit but for the life of me can't see anyone stumping up cash. Though strange things happened last week, so never say never. 

As you say the ones who will go for cash now are those we dont want to leave but i wouldn't be shocked if a couple of clubs took one or two of those we want to go off us

Don’t know if anyone has heard anything on this but as the thread is for rumours…..

Smudge was at Cambridge having a medical yesterday

I would be surprised tbh,he is a real home bird so if he was to leave he wouldn't want to uproot his family I dont think
