Though admittedly there's no worry about Jack Byrne being too passive. He likes a tackle...
When he played against those enormous Celtic lads though, he kept turning blind, into trouble, & losing the ball, his game went to shit.
I think playing in Holland will be a good middle ground, where he can get used to a higher level, & not end up getting dropped because he's ineffective. Then hopefully he's ready for the next stage.
He might possibly be someone we sell on if he does well there but isn't quite ready for City, but if we do, I imagine we will insert a buy back clause.
With the talent we have in the first team and the talent on in the year group below, relistically he wont make it with us? Or am i reading it wrong?
On a side note read some barca stuff and there is talk of Denis Suarez being broght back into barca A team to replace Xavi with iniesta dropping deeper. Fair play to him, always thought he looked good when i seen him...
Tbh I'll stop posting on here forever if Denis Suarez permanently replaces Xavi. (COME ON DENIS! THEY SAY)
I'd rather give Jack Byrne the job tomorrow.
I'm not saying Jack Byrne won't make it with City, I'm just wondering if he will get enough games in the next few seasons, with the senior players we have, the players coming through, & the players we are signing. He's only a little lad & a player who ticks the game over, rather than scoring loads & doing spectacular stuff. I'm not convinced David Silva would have got any games in our team at the same age.
We have to look after these lads & do what's best for them. If Jack really excels in Holland then he might get a sniff, but the area he plays in, is going to be full of serious competition. He is reaching the stage where he need to play every week. Loans or even a transfer, with a buyback, might be the best option.
If it was up to me, I'd start playing all of them, regularly, & fuck the short term consequences. But that isn't going to happen.
