I don't dispute that, my point is that the constant reporting of the next bright new shiny new thing rarely materialises into a benefit for the squad at all, just the balance sheet.

We could have afforded signings just like any other club who have won shit loads of stuff.

Ohhhh look it's the new Messi they have never said :)

I think it’s for the most part a player trading business as you say, although I’m sure they would hope for the occasional first team Player. I think Mfuni the only one seen as first team potential currently.

I get put down for noting the change from sticking with kids that have been right through the age groups in favour of bringing in kids on big money, but it’s definitely increasing in number.

Last years EDS were an exceptional group that have won everything, and a large part of that is the time they have been together I think.

I saw CKC warming up with the 16's on Saturday who drew with Celtic U19's 2-2.

He had only just been confirmed the day before - and he also had an offer from Arsenal, but they weren't prepared to stump up the cash for him.

I saw him first hand last season against Burnley U19's for Wednesday and he didn't strike out from the rest of the players so clearly City have seen some potential in him in order to pay the big bucks.
