Congrats boys 
Manchester Senior Cup Final
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
Fair enough, I rather meant it in the context that he wants regular first team action and big money yet he's not even been the best player at reserves level
Great performance, delighted for all concerned, giveren did a kieron lee at the end
How old are you? 13?
Was Brady sent off? I missed the last bit of the match? Got a tasty 5/1 on a red card in running....
Afraid not. Did his best though.
ah feic it thought I would a few bob there for a sec! Back United at 6/4 to win last night, thought we were nailed on looking at the respective sides....
Just saw the City lineup... did they have a single English player or better yet a local talent in the squad?
Reece Wabara was their only English player in the first X1, he isn't local though, he is from Birmingham.
He is highly rated but he was incredibly poor in that game.
City's U16s are predominantly English, fwiw
Shay Facey is english aswell
Yes but he's got a very stupid name.
Is that suppose to be an achievement now? Shouldn't that be the norm? It is at United.
The chances are that over the next two/three years they will all be replaced by foreign talents and none will make it to play over 50/100 games for City, unless the sheikh leaves that is.
The way we coach our young players to play and to behave from the ages of 6,7,8,9+ is vastly superior to City, and England for that matter.
Bit OTT, City's youth setup is actually pretty good, at the younger levels especially. Agree that they've gone massively down the 'bring foreign kids in at 16' route but that's no reflection on how they coach their 6-9 year-olds.
preaching to the choir...should certainly be 'the standard' across the PL (if not all top clubs), but City have a very, very good crop of English players (Smith-Brown, Gunn, Hiwula, Cole, etc.) -- but did also let ~40% go and replaced them with foreign talent as that U16 age group progressed. some good young ones coming through as well (Kean Bryan is one).
