Suggestion: Phil Foden - Man City

[DaveP]

Considering it's gonna be tough to get Loftus-Cheek back on loan is it maybe worth taking a look at Phil Foden from Man City as an option for a season long loan if they want him to get playing time. Could be another good fit for us.

I wondered about him too. Are they looking to loan him.

[hedge end eagle]

Very good player but don't think they will loan him out unfortunately

[SA Eagle]

Would be nice. Highly rated by Guardiola, so may be a struggle, but he appeared to have respect for Roy, so maybe not out of the question.

[mushroom]

Yes

[SJ'sLoveMonkey]

[PemboExpress]

Would be an excellent loan signing for us depending on RLC and what else we may need.

Think Pep and City could well trust Roy to help develop him.

[Far East Eagle]

I thought he was after a permanent move to Germany

[Pistol Knight]

Would love him

will never happen

Fairly involved with their first team, doubt he will be loaned.

[GreatGonzo]

Think Pep has already said he has no intention of loaning him and he will see increased opportunities as he was being used more and more last season.

[BBK]

Pep said he's not available for loan.

[aj4england]

Surely the signing of Mahrez puts him even further down the line...

[chelmsfordeagle]

I'd like one of our loans to be a a young attacking player. Someone who we can have as an impact sub and who wouldn't make the bench for his team, meaning both teams and the player get a benefit from the loan. City seem to have a few players that fall into this category.

[aj4england]

Zinchenko from Man City fills this criteria, particularly as he is now 21 so think he has to be named? Presume Mangala would also be available for a loan again.

Tunazebe from Man Utd or Borthwick Jackson too fit this category, if we dont go back in for Fosu Mensah that is.

I have been banging on about him too. I have only seen him a few times but I thought he looked really promising. I worry that anyone at Man City is likely to be on stupid money though. He could replace RLC better than most if he is as good as I think/hope.

Fulham and Wolves have bid £16M for Zinchenko by all accounts.

[Timbo]

His price went up threefold with all the praise he got from the pundits during the World Cup

Exactly, they’ll be pressure from the FA for City to play him this season. They’re trying to groom him into the creative midfielder that England are so lacking.

Isn't he a left back? or did he just play there for City?All the others you have named are also defenders aren't they?

I don't think we will be signing a defender in this transfer window.
