Yeah, what's the point if a Stockport lad who's been here since he was a kid, gets to the u17 Euro finals, wins the u17 World Cup and Golden Ball can't get in the team, then shut it down. I know he's young, but if he doesn't get 15 caps across the full season, it's really disappointing.You'd shut down the thing responsible for creating him in the first place?
Has it? Not saying you're wrong but can I see an article? And is that profit or revenue?Even in the unlikely event that he does, why do you think closing down an academy that has generated £100m in few years, should be closed?
Have to agree as long as it's a loan preferably in the PL and not the SPL. Much easier to bench mark performances in the PL.Would rather Brahim go out on loan and play 30+ senior games than play 5 or 6 off the bench for us.
Don't really get the negativity towards loan moves. For an 18/19 year old it could be a great development experience for him.
There's not much difference between the two in this case. There's no article, you can look it up quite easily.Has it? Not saying you're wrong but can I see an article? And is that profit or revenue?
Are you counting Iheanacho, Unal etc in this?There's not much difference between the two in this case. There's no article, you can look it up quite easily.
It's reported that City would like to loan Diaz to Girona but Diaz or his representatives would prefer him to develop at City or another club. These are the best players of their generation. It's up to City to decide whether we develop them within City or lose them. That seems to be the option.Would rather Brahim go out on loan and play 30+ senior games than play 5 or 6 off the bench for us.

Don't think Unal ever played for the academy but iheanacho did and would be counted. 24m profit on him.Are you counting Iheanacho, Unal etc in this?
Didn't Pep say recently that he wanted these two to stay at City rather than be loaned out? I'm sure I read it somewhere and if so, why is there such a panic amongst supporters?It's reported that City would like to loan Diaz to Girona but Diaz or his representatives would prefer him to develop at City or another club.

The fact that we seem no longer to be looking at other midfield options may suggest that Foden and Diaz will get opportunities at City this season. I'd rather we did that than buy more players because I see these two players as great prospects for the first team, and if they break through it will help others
Don't forget Kante.There is a growing number of players who have made it at the highest level but are playing elsewhere e.g Trippier, Mee, Suarez, Lopes, Sancho
