City to buy feeder club?

[Falastur]

What happened to AC Arles-Avignon? Anyone remember that story (long time lurker here)

Think it never went further than talk, but I'm not really sure.

I don't think a French team is really right for it anyway, we should get in with a 2.Bundesliga team or something like that - their youngsters (well, their footballers in general) are easily adaptable to English football but have more discipline, focus, technique and footballing brain than all but the very best of the English lads their age.

They also got a deal with a team from my hometown in Norway,Stromsgodset.
Mohammed Abu plays for Stromsgodset and he is a City player, kinda hoped we could get
Gai Assulin over here to help us in the Norwegian tippeliga ;-)

I wish they could sort some kind of a deal with my hometown team Llanelli. they get into europe via the Welsh Prem most years as well. When I say hometown I mean the town in which I currently live.

If I remember last year, Paris St Germain were mentioned as a possible feeder club.

Not sure how much truth there is in that though.

Thought we already had Aston Villa - they send us their good players and we send the crap we don't want anymore.
