EDS/Academy Games

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Couldn't have chosen a better lad. City fan too. He has been excellent this season.

Jacob has been under the radar as far as i am concerned until this season where he has really stepped up. Playing in the deep midfield role he seems to read the game very well and has a great knack of dropping into deep defensive positions to cover dangerous situations.Time after time he makes interceptions and clearances when needed most.

As a midfield player he is quick and aggressive to see opportunties to win balls and break up play and while mostly he uses short passes to get us going forward he does see longer balls as well especially to wide players. Always available in the middle of the park when needed by a teammate.

He would have got my vote as player of the season as well and with all the exceptional talent around him that says a lot.

Well taken. Has he done anything else of note?

[blues2win]

I think he scored the winner in the semi final against Germany.

Celina played for Kosovo in their first ever game last night in a 2-0 win over the Faroe Islands. Unfortunatly he was sent off after half an hour. Sounded very harsh though

Word out is that pep Guardiola personally contacted Yaw Yeboah and told him he is in his plans and wants him back from Lille next season.
Any of our Academy experts heard anything or kow anything about him, other than he was player of the tournament at the U18's African Nations last year or the year beforeand he's Ghanain.

Why would Guardiola contact him before he'd started working for City? Doesn't make sense to me, sounds more like someone making something up.

Doesn't sound probable to me either, but what can you trust nowadays online.

I don't do twitter. I suppose this could be from anyone. Doesn't mean that the quotes from the guy are verified, does it.

Anyone know much about him.(Yeboah)

Not a player I have ever seen play but by all accounts he is a talented attacking player. As for Pep personally getting in touch I would think that is garbage personally. It wouldn't surprise me though if Pep has given some sort of general message to club about keeping quality kids around so he can have a close up look at them and make his decisions based on what he sees.

Cant see him being better than Brahim though !

You mentioned before that you had heard a rumour that Brahim would be going on the pre season tour. Have you heard any more about that?

Would anyone know what's up with Angelino? Is he going to be given a chance this season or is he going to be loaned out again?

Not sure I said anything about a rumour but simply that I would hope and even expect Brahm would be involved pre season. That's because he is special and good enough even tho very young.

Angelino is just another one of our very talented young stars who Pep will be having a close look at.

Looking forward to seeing how pep views our younger lads. When paddyv went over to Munich to see pep, it must have been to do with the academy surely.

Seko Fofana has gone to Udinese for £2.5m. Hope there is also a sell on clause or buy back clause included

In Doug I trust!
