I wonder what other club's records are like?

You'd think up till the Premier League, a few teams would have had someone in the squad every match. The influx of foreign players, and extra money would have squeezed a lot out in the 90s, but given match day squads increased, it's now pretty easy to do.

I'm guessing Liverpool fans would have been "keen" enough to try and work out if they also had similar, but any idea what City's record is like?

Looking at the 90s, we still had a few regular starters from the Academy.

Does @Gary James have any idea?

I didn’t realise Cleverly was in the management game until I saw the Leeds V Watford game last night. Should they not be declaring him the second coming of the GPC and should be in the thinking if Southgate turns them down.

He won't turn them down. Utd will be looking at other targets. Do keep up on the terminology, chum.
 
My favourite is Januzaj. This article remains unparalleled

www.independent.co.uk

Kevin Garside: Forget Wayne Rooney, Adnan Januzaj has the class to be

It might be that the England striker has peaked and that Sir Alex Ferguson recognised it
www.independent.co.uk www.independent.co.uk

“The kid has a Pythagorean awareness of angles and dimension and a left foot that blends art with precision. With each game he plays, Januzaj lightens by increments Moyes' load by removing the urgency to resolve the Rooney conflict in a way that might be detrimental to United.”

Truly magnificent.

Mainoo as the new Seedorf has potential though.
