CBA looking in detail (unless you're desperate) but the latter 5 were 18-21 and got minutes/games in cups. They are nobodies at the moment, but a very talented 16/17 year old in Arsenal's academy will see that he's likely to get a shot in a few seasons and the former 3 show that he can become a semi-regular if he impresses.
We, at City, are utterly shit at that first step of giving good academy players the odd minute here or there.
So - like us - they don't play 16/17 year old kids "for a few seasons". What you have said revArsenal is no better than anything we can offer now that some quality kids are coming through.
