Interesting Rabbi Matondo interview

[Rjk]

He won't suffer for a year or so, and then he needs to play football somewhere. Playing kids is all well and good but youth sides don't play like men, unsurprisingly. It will stunt his growth if he doesn't.

I imagine that once he's 18ish he will start getting loaned out to get that experience

I wouldn't go to Man City if you paid me. There's no chance you'll get in the side, especially a winger like Matondo. Risk it and play a kid, or play Sane? Also, as good as loan moves are, there's no incentive for the receiving club to develop that player as he isn't theirs. How many loanees have we had that we've left to rot on the bench for starters? If a loanee makes mistakes, he'll get dropped whereas if he's your player, you'll give him more chances.

People like Sancho, Oxford have gone abroad to Germany etc to play. The only top 6 side I'd consider going to is Spurs, as Pochettino will give you a chance, especially given they have a smallish squad.

Chelsea buy up and loan out loads of talented youngsters , sure very few of them ultimately play for the Chelsea first team, but enough of them end up playing at a very high level for them to be doing something right.
I'm sure that none of the kids at man city expect to be rushing into the first team, possibly at all, but that doesn't mean it is a bad move for their career

It depends if it's good for them. Look at Loftus-Cheek, he's wasted the last 3 years of his life until this season. Man City could play a youngster or buy someone for 50m for no risk. If I'm a manager at a big club who knows I'll get sacked if I don't win something, I know what I'd do. Man City and Chelsea can buy all the young players they want but they're really there to make them money. It's a business decision that's completely separate from the first team. If one happens to be absolutely incredible, they'll loan him out or sell him with a buy back option. Ampadu is getting a go (thank God) because for some reason, Emenalo decided to loan out or sell most of the squad players at Chelsea.
