Is the penny dropping?

It's unbelievable, isn't it?

It is obvious to anyone with half a brain that the smooth transition of Nacho from young prospect to first team regular is a big feather in the cap of all of our footballing management staff; youth and first team. It sends a message out to the currrent young players (half a dozen or more who have debuted for the first team this season) and a message out to future young signings.

He is the standard bearer but there will be more. The system is already working a treat and it's only just begun.

It's making me laugh all this lemon sucking from those nay-Sayers and doom-merchants who have swallowed the media bullshit about us having no interest in youth. His progress this season has been a masterclass in the final phase of youth development: first team integration. And others are following beautifully. As I've said repeatedly, ADUG are not in the business of investing hundreds of millions into our academy without taking it incredibly seriously.

Nobody has suggested that though! At least I haven't.
I'm fully behind everything the club is doing with regards to bridging the gap metaphorically from the CFA to the Etihad, I totally trust the top brass at the club and continually sing their collective praises whilst others argue with rags about empty seats, no youth or some other school ground level quarrel.

Sheikh Mansour outlined his ambition regarding youth in 2008 and it's folly to suggest we have no interest in bringing young players through the academy to the first team. In fact the people who often spout this sort of shite tend to be know fuck all rags. Or like you say dumb blues who fall for the media narrative in their daily newspaper.

There are plenty on the forum right now spouting sour grapes about how Ileanacho should have started more games and how the manager can't take any credit. I've heard it for years at City: It's usually the modern day equivalent of the Maine Road Training Ground Mafia, who would claim that every teenager who's learned how to pass the ball should be "given a go" like it's 1979 all over again. The way we are integrating youth since season makes a mockery of their whinging, and Ileanacho is the standard bearer.

Let's hope so.
I can't think of a conceivable reason why a club wouldn't want lads coming through their respective academies to the first team?
 
This lad is hardly a product of our Academy.

However, even the BBC showed his hat trick on this afternoon's show.

The best FU I've ever heard given to the media was that radio show call from a few years back. The club had just signed Yaya and there was some complete tool on sports radio over there bashing the signing (he's not a major footballer, hasn't won shit... blah blah blah) And a fellow Blue called in and JUST leveled him. I mean he completely owned the douchebag. Even his broadcast partner admitted it. Don't know if you can still find the audio on Youtube, but it incapsulated how bias the media is towards us. Just quality!
