Was watching the Leeds game and saw this guy score an incredible goal and it came to me that I remember him being talked about on here by another poster. That his family knew him or something? Or that it was some sort of relative and he went through the MLS system... Anyway I googled him and yep seems like it's the guy! Cracking goal, looks like he has bags of pace too.

www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/pep-guardiola-moved-scupper-7m-1146537The Potters had looked to be in the box seat to seal a deal for the MLS starlet, and we can exclusively reveal they offered £7m up front for the New York City winger rising to a potential £11m depending on his success at the bet365 Stadium.We apparently offered £7m rising to £11m for him - but they wanted to keep him in the City Football Group, so let him go to Man City cheap.

He’s the son of a mate of mine, I ‘believe’ Leeds offered mid teens millions for him and were turned down, maybe Man City have plans for him🤷🏻♂️

fuck him, he isn't a stokie, he is just a talented football player. could have been conceived in Glasgow, and born in reading. it's all bollox and makes little difference.Chances are he doesnt even know what an oatcake is, or that the Spitfire was designed by a Stokie.

Bolton then Man Utd academy until 14 then came over the pond on a scholarship for Berkshire School. MLS #1 draft pick by Chicago and immediately traded to New York City for money and pick #3. Played under Viera at NYC with Lampard and David Villa. Stoke tried to sign him in January of our relegation season but he was bought by Man City and immediately loaned to Middlesborough. This will be his third year on loan at Leeds and what a way to start your Premier League career!! He's come a very long (indirect) way and keeps stepping it up. PS: He knows all about oatcakes I can assure you

Son of local talented footballer and manager Gibbo. He’s an incredible talent and I wish the lad well.
Ay up Johnny - how you keeping?

The only reason they didn’t buy him in the Summer was to free up transfer funds. He won’t go back to Manchester City unless they pay big money.

So in January, when Dirty Leeds will already need snookers to stay up, he will be off somewhere for 7 mill again?
