Emyr Hughes, Marcos Lopes now George Evans.....not sending a very positive message to the young lads in the EDS.

Who's next I wonder Brandon Barker/Bersant Celina?

I think he played center mid for Walsall and was excellent whichust be why Reading want him.He is a very composed player, excellent passer both short and long and has a real eye for killer passes and for a goal. But I would say not quite at the City first team level. I do thinbk he could do a job as a squad player but could never see him as a first choice when you look at all the alternatives we have.

I hope he is a great success and would be delighted if he proved me wrong and came back under a buy back clause we ought to include in any deal.

Reading have agreed a deal to sign Manchester City centre-back George Evans, according to Sky sources.

The 21-year-old is understood to have snubbed Championship rivals Brentford, who are searching for a new centre-back as they prepare to let James Tarkwoski leave the club.

Evans, who came through City's youth academy, has been impressing on a loan at League One side Walsall, who were previously managed by current Brentford boss Dean Smith.

City only recalled Evans from his loan at Walsall on Saturday and Smith was understood to be keen to take him to Griffin Park, but he is now on the verge of joining the Royals.

Evans has never made a first team appearance for City in any competition but he has previously spent time on loan at Crewe and Scunthorpe.

This season he has made 17 appearances for the Saddlers and scored four goals in all competitions.

Sky at their best as usual.

Evans was doing great at Walsall, many MOTM performances, 4 goals too. Another one goes without an opportunity

From The OS;
The son of former player and physio Ronnie Evans, defensive midfielder George Evans was spotted playing in a local tournament at the JJB Sports Dome along with fellow EDS starlet, George Glendon.

He became the second player to represent City at every level from U8s to the first team after coming on against Sunderland in the League Cup in September 2015 – the first being Chris Chantler.

Who do you believe?

He signed for Macclesfield a couple of weeks back.

I know they we are not the only ones doing it but I do find the stock pilling of youth players and then farming them out with no real intention of them ever playing for us slightly unethical.
