I think he's both right and wrong. Of course a player who cost relatively much money to bring in is gonna play, regardless to some extent. If you buy a player like Aleix Garcia and don't give him a lot of chances to fail and grow, what's the point? On the other hand, he's probably incorrect in that this is a foreign bias. The same would apply to him if he had cost as much as Garcia. It's got nothing to do with nationality, it's money.
If anything, I'd guess there's an English bias. The club constantly lets anyone writing about the CFA that we have x percentage of kids from the greater Manchester area for example, and I'd guess that Tricky and Soriano are dying to have a Manchester lad break through. That player would become such a symbol for City it's unbelievable. They also know that national quotas are on the table and are probably working towards being able to meet them.

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."
