Youth training, and the fate is deep, Manchester City officially announced the news that McCarthy joined Nottingham Forest. It is understood that the transfer fee is about 25 million pounds, and with additional conditions, it can almost reach 30 million. In addition, repurchase and second transfer share are also added. This is different from past operations. It can also be seen that the club is learning lessons, and its attitude has indeed changed. Why is it said to be a lesson? It is very simple. Palmer's case was the most intuitive. Chelsea spent less than 50 million to win it. Now its value has doubled, and it even soared to 130 million at a certain stage. This gap is in front of us. Manchester City will definitely regret it. If there were repurchases in the contract, the situation would be It would be different, but unfortunately, if there is no city youth training, the road is narrow, the heart is wide, in fact, the reality of Manchester City youth training is very cruel, most players do not have the chance to truly stand firm in the first team, Foden is one of the few, and can fully integrate into the Guardiola system. This is still quite a big gap with Barcelona's generation of youth training inheritance. Manchester City regards youth training more as a resource reserve, rather than the foundation of the central axis. However, McCarthy's situation is also typical. He has good personal abilities, delicate skills, and a basketball maker is online, but the problem is - Manchester City needs a top-level ball-holding core, but he is not suitable for this role, just like the puzzle, the gap cannot match, no matter how good yours looks, you can only Putting aside, this mismatch cannot be solved by working hard for a few months

So Manchester City has nothing to do with letting people go, and at the same time they are smarter. The transfer fee is not too high, and the terms are repurchased and shared. In this way, even if he really breaks out in the future, he will not completely miss it like Palmer, and to a certain extent block the possible road of regret. The future geometry

Come to Nottingham Forest, McCarthy will definitely have more opportunities. This is a visible change. The playing time has increased and the fault tolerance rate is also higher. The key depends on whether he can make up for the shortcomings, especially the level of confrontation and defensive participation. If he is still weak, he can only play a stable performance in the forest at most and need to take another step forward. , it is very difficult

Of course, don't forget that the growth of young players has never been straight, and sometimes they need a suitable tactical environment, just like soil and moisture. No matter how good the seeds are, they may not grow up in the wrong place. Whether he can become the core of the frontcourt in the new team like Palmer needs to be observed. This point still needs to be observed. This transfer reflects a change in attitude of Manchester City. They admit that they are training the system and have begun to make up for losses in the system. Even if it is impossible to guarantee that everyone can stay in the team like Foden, they can at least maximize the value of youth training. In other words, selling people can sell smarter

The editor personally believes that there are two possibilities in the future:

A. McCarty played a highlight in the forest and grew into a top midfielder. Manchester City's repurchase clause was reactivated, and the story continued its front line

B. He maintained a moderate performance in the forest and became a stable main force, but he gradually moved away from the top stars. Manchester City only had a little more share of the profits
