City could swoop him up and send him out on loan to a bottom PL club. Especially since AZ is in shambles
I agree that he should leave AZ now, for him to continue his development, and the PL is the biggest league, so it might be good for him, but it might also be too soon.
I would love him to become the next big thing, but going straight into the PL might not be the best way. Still, if he does go and gets loaned out to a smaller club, that might be the best case scenario.
Probably a lot of truth to this but look at Nastasic. 19 and came in and took over as starting CB from a 30-year old who is one of England's starting CBs. Rodwell was going to start over Gareth Barry as well and he's only 21. Mancini isn't entirely afraid to play young guys who are proven. I would expect he'd be loaned out for a year at least to get some seasoning in the league.
It would be a waste to see him go there and basically ruin his career, wouldn't be the first time it happens. But if Mancini is able to manage him well, then I'm good with it.
