Manchester City are not expecting the normal rush of eager young things desperate to go out on loan and show the world what they can do.
The prospect of training under Pep Guardiola is equipaciones de futbol baratas replicas a major attraction to the senior players, never mind the Blues’ rising stars.
Aleks Kolarov is believed to be among two or three first-team players who ditched plans to leave the club once Guardiola’s accession had been announced.
City have, in recent seasons, farmed out unwanted players with a view to a sale – think Alvaro Negredo , Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic .
Whether Wilfried Bony, Samir Nasri and Eliaquim Mangala will agree to such treatment, or trust themselves to impress the new gaffer, remains to be seen.

As far as thrusting youngsters are concerned, there is bound to be a feeling of out of sight, out of mind.
The appointment of Rodolfo Borrell to Guardiola’s own staff after two years in an academy role will have raised eyebrows amongst the kids.
Borrell is expected to advise Pep on the young players coming through, camiseta harry kane tottenham identifying those who have shown enough progress to warrant time with the first team squad.

But there have to be some players heading out of the door – indeed, Patrick Roberts (Celtic), Jack Byrne (Blackburn), Olivier Ntcham (Genoa), Ashley Smith-Brown and Thomas Agyepong (both NAC Breda) have already exited.
As part of City’s new partnership with Dutch club Breda, George Glendon, and possibly Tosin Adarabioyo and Angus Gunn, are set to follow.
The Blues also have a policy of buying young players who are already established at first-team level at their clubs, but are not quite at City’s level, and loaning them out.
