    Board know that 6 months is pointless. We would benifent immensely from 18 months of Roberts

    My first reaction was who the * is Paddy Roberts. My second reaction was, right then another man city academy player. Who is making these deals Lawwell or Deila, whoever it is needs to get their act together because we should not be developing richer clubs players for 6 months. Stupid * deal.

    I think we should meet in the middle at 12 months...

    This is based on what I've read on here though, as I've never personally seen him play.

    Not knowing who he is sums up your knowledge in football.

    I would call Lawwell on this one!

    His son Mark is the football development co-ordinator for the man city development squad

    If we get this boy in for 18 months i will be delighted. Would be an amazing talent to have for the treble charge this season and the CL tilt next. Would push the likes of Allan , GMS , Christie even further away from the first team though .

    Just signed him on FM for 8million, won POTY. That's as much as I know about the player.

    Some people are so against loans. It's hilarious. Nothing wrong with loans at all and nothing wrong with creating relationships with richer clubs.

    Even a 12 month deal would be a good outcome from this.

    I want him here and I'm all for loans however 6 months isn't enough for me on this ocassion.

    I apologize for not attending man city youth games in person to scout him first and I also apologize that I dont have the time to play computer games.


    Indeed.

    6 months is pointless, but 12 months could work

    I really don't see the benefit of signing him for 6 months on loan.

    Great wee player who id love to have permanently, but it's only a temporary fix which is pointless.

    Ronny said he was building for the future. This doesn't seem like it to me.

    18 months deal would be simply amazing but i guess they would have to consult a certain someone in Munchen to do that.

    If its a 12 or 18 month loan then aye its a no brainer. If its 6 months then it makes zero sense.

    Peter wouldn't be holding any discussions about loaning Man city players with Mark.

    Mark is the scouting information and content manager, the relationship Deila has with Pellegrini is more important. Mark's purpose is to compile data, not loan out players.

    Thought Deila relationship was with Mancini? So you trying to tell me Lawwell hasn't had discussions with his son? Aye right mate I will crack the jokes!

    Aye compile the data and tip his da off probably! Doesn't matter a jot either way Celtic are not a development team!
