Gabriel Slonina

what happened to Madrid? the kid really reminds me of a young Courtois at Genk, same sort saves that he pulls off 

he could just as well stay for one more season in Chicago

then he can be loaned out to a team in Europe 

did the US qualify for the world cup? maybe he can go with them as a third goalkeeper

Wouldn't be a bad idea to sign and loan him out in Europe to see how he develops. It's clear that Kepa will never be No.1 here and needs to be sold ASAP. Mendy is commanding in the air  and a good shot stopper but hesitant with the ball at his feet. If this guy can develop into an elite GK then definitely can replace Mendy in 2-3 years.
I think we can show him how we developed Courtois. Very similar situation, Cech as undisputed number one, signed at young age and loaned out only to return and win PL and become one of the best goalkeepers in the world

+ Cech himself will be there to keep an eye out for his development.

Just can't loan him somewhere we he will fall in love with the City and find his future spouse....

loan him to Torino and 5 years later he will force a move to their most hated rivals Juventus 

jokes aside

Torino would  be a good club to loan him to

I'd say keep him in Premier league or England if all possible.

Send him to a terrible Championship team were he will have a lot of work to do 

or to France seeing how many of our players speak french

We did qualify,

His time will likely come but we have a good long list of experienced keepers right now.

Steffen and Horvath aren't regular starters and especially Steffen is really overrated imo, and Matt Turner will go to Arsenal so he won't be playing either

From what i've seen from Slonina he has good reflexes but poor technique/handling and drops the ball a lot into dangerous areas

The lack of play time is a concern however Turner has looked good and Steffen has been solid.  Horvath seems to have dropped down the list as he hasn't gotten a call up since the Nation's League final despite some heroic saves.  

Sean Johnson has looked good recently.   Had some big saves in a friendly against Uruguay.

It was kind of disappointing to me that Steffen re-upped with Man City rather than looking for a place where he can start.   

 
Tottenham or Burnley then.
Or Southampton right @Munkworth

Multiple sources are reporting that Chelsea has reached a verbal agreement for this kid.  Probably will be loaned straight back to his current club to get experience.  

 
We've got so many goal keepers already that frankly I'm gobsmacked we are looking at another one ... 

In the USA Tour party : Edouard Mendy, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Marcus Bettinelli, Teddy Sharman-Lowe

Development Squads : Eddie Beach, Sami Tlemcani

Out on Loan for 22/23: Lucas Bergstrom, Ethan Wady, Nathan Baxter, Jamie Cumming, Prince Adegoke

If we sign him, Slonina would be the  12th keeper on our books !!!
