Javairo Dilrosun just won the Eredivisie title with Feyenoord. Had a really solid season for them too. Good to see ex Blues having success.
I really rated him in our EDS,disappointed when he left as he was a proper old skool bum off seat type.

But ... Ste Howson assures his youtube viewers regularly that City have nothing to show for the millions invested in their academy.

Hang on… the worlds finest Academy has no players coming through ANYWHERE???!!! Must be fake news.
How long until £500k ex At Madrid Argentinian Garnacho is classed as an Academy player??!

Not sure about the tweet's worth - Lots of players are given a 'soft debut', usually a few minutes late in a match, well before they're ready for a full game.
Whether it's a bit of a reward, a motivator to give them a taste of what they could achieve etc., it's been going on for years, and is probably more common now the standard of the league is so high that most players won't break through till they're a little bit older.
More than half the players in the full list only made one appearance, which means that even if they go on to make 5+ appearances next season, they won't be on this list due to a 5 minute "charity sub" appearance this year.
