Just shows how organised things are under ETH - we know we might be losing one David Harrison, so bring a spare in just in case.
Seriously, though, is that a big blow in terms of academy recruitment? I know we'll, hopefully, be able to go out and cherry pick a replacement, but he's clearly talented, having been at Man City, Man United and, soon, Newcastle - all the 'money teams' who can target the best - so how easy will it be to replace him with someone of similar ability?

I can only give you my opinion, but I don't believe it's difficult for a club of United's stature to bring in a high calibre replacement. There's a lot of talented people involved in the recruitment field and I don't see why it would be a problem to bring in a high level recruiter to replace Harrison. I fully expect a high calibre replacement to be brought in.Just shows how organised things are under ETH - we know we might be losing one David Harrison, so bring a spare in just in case.

The bigger issue imo is the owners, and as long as they're here, we will be less attractive to potential new recruits in comparison to City and Chelsea. But the recruitment structure is in place right now at all levels but they're handicapped in comparison to City and Chelsea who have for many years been stockpiling on the most talented youth, domestically.
Thanks.
The first paragraph: That's good to hear.
The second paragraph: Yeah, that's a negative issue all right.
Is youth recruitment covered under FFP? Are we under the same constraints that the senior team is when seeking promising young talent?
It’s all part of the clubs overall finances so yes. Obviously spending 200k on a player is a lot less impactful than spending 100m but the principle remains.
Yeah but I guess it probably rules us out of contention with buying the Hannibal level talents that I think cost us close to €10mn (unless I'm horribly wrong on this).
Giving 17 year olds 10k a week is wrong

I wonder how negatively @Bigsid feels about this?
United fielded a couple of overage players with no locals while City actually put out their u8s side who were all born within the Etihad so he doesn't mind.
Says a lot about him that this response could have been from his account.
Don't forget that United all had 7ft playing for them whilst City had 4ft technical wizards.
Great stuff. Think most people know theres quite a gap. On thread below i see our own technical Director has his boys over at City. Probably tells you all you need to know........

I think it's already clear from last few months who will get scholarships from the U16s, apart of the few cases like Oriola, Devaney, Kaba.
U14s & U12s are in Spain for the MIC Cup which starts tomorrow.

They’re also showing a number of games on YouTube but at the moment it doesn’t look like any of ours are being streamed.

Tude Shoretire isn't the the U14s squad but there are Kai Rooney, Dejonge, JJ and new signing Louie Bradbury.
I guess double jointed blood twisting hips ain't hereditary
Does Isak Hansen-Aaroen have "it"? Could we see him more in the first-team next year?
U14s are through to the last 16, and U12s to the quarter-finals in the MIC Cup in Catalunya.
U12s face CE Mercantil. Milan, Real & Barca are all in QFs as well.
U14s playing against a team from Frankfurt. Espanyol, Barca, Palace, Atlético, Juve & City among others still left in the competition.

MIC Cup update: Barca eliminated our U14s in the quarter-finals 2-0 (2-0). U12s' semi against Girona starts at 10:00 BST.
An hour later our U12s have also been beaten. We lost 2-1 (1-0) to Girona in the semi. Finished the match with ten players.
Still a very good experience for both age groups playing knockout games against top teams from around Europe.

Did we beat any professional sides or was it mainly local teams?An hour later our U12s have also been beaten. We lost 2-1 (1-0) to Girona in the semi.

None of U14s nor U12s are professional sides. Including United.
From what I could see it was top teams from around Europe Man City just got beat by Juventus.
The Mic in the group stage is always against local team/small clubs, Utd always get to the quarter/semi stage.
