I suspect this one isn't over yet - current rules prevent this (city have done it in the past) but they're trying to get a rules change through.
I suspect either they already know whats happening with the rule change or trying to pressure the change, lets see
Was hoping he would play at FC Lorient

@Chiefy07 He's only doing what he's told tbf?
The only club that he probably could have been sent to is Hibs, as Bill Foley owns them too.
And also, other clubs have to actually want him for a move to be sanctioned, it's not as easy as just saying, go and play in the Eredivisie.
He's also not even the All Whites number 1 GK, Max Crocombe is.

Do you really think he doesn't get a say in what club he goes on loan to? Matt Dibley-Dias just chose Northampton to go on loan to out of 5 different clubs. After his season in the A League he would've been in demand in EFL if shopped around, plenty of clubs want a keeper that can play out from the back like him. He also isn't just limited to Foleys clubs. That would be the ideal, but if they have genuine hopes of him being a first teamer then finding the right club for his development would be more beneficial. Really all this is doing is helping AFC - not Bournemouth or Paulsen.
I don't think Auckland have done anything massively wrong here. Possibly slightly unethical but they're just doing the best to put a successful team out with the resources they have. I do wonder how much influence the $25 million license fee has earnt them - this rule has been around for a while. Auckland has been in the comp 2 mins, pays a big license fee, TV money has dried up and the rule miraculously changes. TBF the rule change seems widely supported but I guess it is the overall look of it that is a tad worrying.
From a fan point of view, I am happy Paulsen will be playing for AFC as I am planning on coming down for as many games as I can and I want them to be successful.

Hopefully we can use him well. But we have been missing a high yield striker since Kane left

Man City's Oscar Bobb has broken a bone in his leg and will be out for at least three months.
They discovered it during the recovery swim when all he could do was bob
