    Trafford probably needs 5 seasons of first team football before being anywhere near city’s 1st team. Come to Bolton for a bit lad

City could always insert a buy back clause into Trafford's contract and sell him for a nominal fee if they thought he was a future number 1.

Do big clubs pay towards the wages of their loan players when they go out to smaller (that hurt!) clubs?

 

Usually yeah.

Which clearly we won't. Any player could be bought and suffer a bad one on his debut. Always an element of risk, and we certainly don't have money to burn, but overall his fitness (generally including recovery) has been excellent. I'd be more concerned if he'd had a succession of small injuries and hadn't looked tip top on the field.

I'm not sure how we can determine his fitness has been excellent. He's spent two spells on loan and both have ended prematurely because of knee injuries, and both injuries resulting in months out of action.

I think he's on at least his third serious knee injury.

Quite simple really- he came straight in, wasn't rested and seemed to play pretty much every minute. Strikers, midfielders and to an extent defenders have been rested. This lad wasn't, and didn't let the team down.

He has to be quite fit for that. 

The question over several knee injuries doesn't mean the lad isn't fit enough. Ricardo Gardner also had a couple of severe ones and was still a fine player.

Like I said, the club will do its due diligence, and if they deem him suitable, then I don't see anything to worry about.

I've also heard the Trafford to Anderlecht rumours. 

But it doesn't really make much sense in terms of his development. Their current keeper is the captain and only 28 years old, I'd be very surprised if he's going there to start ahead of him. 

Is fossey 25?!

Thought he was about 18 :D

Where did you hear that? 😁

 

 

 

He’s 23 actually. 

He’s not finished, he’s only 28.

Fossey is about 50 professional games behind Dapo, but he's 13 months younger.
Dapo has probably played 50 games this season.

What you trying to say?

Could you explain using a two fingered biscuit, caramel and chocolate confectionary?

FWIW Fossey last two injuries aren’t related.

But Fossey has had 13 months less time to collect Twixes.
Dapo has collected 50 Twixes in the last nine months alone, so it's not inconceivable that Fossey could have 50 more by the time he's the age that Dapo is now.

So what I'm saying is that I'm not massively concerned about how few he has now, because nonbody was saying Dapo didn't have enough a year ago.

Ive been reliably informed hes off to Vincent Kompanys team.

If we don’t get him back I won’t lose sleep (that’s not me saying his shit)

Trust IE to get a replacement

I don’t see him being good enough yet to be able playing in a champions league side. If he goes to Anderlect I don’t see him starting and he’s said it himself he wants to be playing.

Hes out of contract in summer so it’ll be him saying where he goes unless he signs a deal with City.

As said earlier this week he'd be no.2 or even no. 3 or 4 to a 28yr old first choice Belgian International. 

That all their own business but he'd be swapping first choice status here for occasional bench warming there. 

Plus as Radcliffe says if we know in good time there'll be options. Hopefully experienced ones.

Made a mistake yesterday, but gets better with every game. I’d sign him as an investment if nothing else
