Sorry if this has been discussed before but is this the player that was poached from us by Man City whilst in the youth set up?

Man City sold him for £11million?! Mad! Looks to be a promising youngster, such a shame we missed out.

Yes he is. Just been called up to the Wales under 21's squad along with Woodburn which is surprising. His goal for Schalke against RBL was superbly taken and i'd have thought he'd have been called up to the senior team. I do wonder if he'd have stayed here if he would have broken into our senior side with Warnock in charge :?:

There’s a player in our under 16s who I think in the process of being poached by Man City so this could happen all over again

Could also argue that Man City coaching took him to the next level, I don’t know if you’ve seen the video he did with puma of a day at Man City but they had a data analyst on a one on one with him

That's the one. Cant blame the lad and you cant hold a young kid back but Its a disgrace that they don't have to pay any sell on fees or fees after appearances. They just hoover up as much as they can in the hope that one or two break through and they can sell a few others at a profit.
