‘The dream team of every kid’

[yeseye]

Its not necessarily about this young kid and his ability and where it takes him.

Its where his aspiration lies. Across the pond in the US, on every favelas dirt pitch, on every South American beach and city centre space, in Europe in every dark footballing corner of the World everybody "knows our name" and wants to come here, that is what our owner and chairman have built. We should be very proud.

“City everybody knows our name”

Seems like only moments ago I was in the main stand at the Britannia Stadium in Stoke with my brothers and other members of my family, when we scored our 5th goal whilst hearing Portsmouth had won, so we've just been relegated to Division III.

Then for some reason I blacked out, only to wake up to read this article in which this kid says, like so many other kids around the world, City are his 'dream team'? That's City, not that lot across town or Real Madrid or Barcelona? Lickle City, from Maine Road? Surely not?!

What's happened?! Have I missed something?! Has my blackout addled my brain? Is it another one of those episodes like whenever I step out of the shower? Has there been yet another rip in the space-time vortex again?!

The Red Cartel and those pesky Europeans won't be happy with that!

City, every little lad's 'dream team'?! Third Division City?! OUR City?! Get out of it..!!

I sometimes just shake my head thinking about where Lickle ol’ Ciddy are now. It is remarkable……and boils an awful lot of piss.

Success makes a team attractive, who would have thought? And all this time they made it seem like kids just wanted to play for the rags and the dippers because they "love" them.

If Newcastle play their cards right and replace the dippers as our league rivals and stay in touching distance for the next 10 years, kids all over the world would find the idea of playing for Newcastle attractive also.

No one team is born with "history".

City and Newcastle the Barca and Real of the Premier League. Liverpool and United the Valencia and the Bilbao.

whats mad is he wasn't even born when we got took over and Savinho was only 4 (and you could even throw in that Yoro was only 2)...this generation of player only know us as the successful City

Soon it will be a generation that have never seen the rags win the league.

This reminds me of when Franny Lee brought Canadian schoolboy Terry Dunfield onto the pitch before a first team game.

Made one appearance, last game.of the season v Chelsea a few years later before moving to Bury.

Saw him about 5 years ago in his final season for Toronto v New England Revolution.

Must have been a bit longer ago than that as he left Toronto FC in 2013.

You'll have to shout.

like the generation that waited from 67 until the PL but they don't like to talk about that long period without the title, do they?

Blimey! Time goes so quickly! Could have sworn it was only 5 years ago!

The new Freddy Adu?

He won’t be a patch on the new generational winger Buster Philips
