I’d say he needs a loan to a PL side where he’ll start regularly to speed up his acclimatisation to the league, as per what rumours say we seem to be planning now. On the other hand though, having players with as much quality as VdB to bring off the bench to change a game was what served City so well in their recent title-winning seasons. They could bring on Bernardo, Mahrez and Jesus to turn a draw into a win at the snap of a finger, and now, we have as much quality on the bench in Mason, Cavani and VdB. Do we want to lose that? I’m not so sure. To win the big titles, we need big players on our bench too, chomping at the bit to win us the game.
