I’d have thought it was pretty obvious it’s Haaland 9.

I think they're using Raphinha as a red herring here
This. It’s not even a good blag.

Utd sign plenty who were boyhood fans and their career endsLoads of players want to end their careers at their boyhood clubs.
Hardly any do.

The steffen deal has to be one of our worst ever. We paid 7 mil for him, pay him 50k a week send him on loan to a championship team to get him playing time were we will likely be paying his wages and then sign another keeper and pay the new keepers wages to keep steffen happy.
Mangala just turned in his grave.

It’s been mentioned some time ago but that’s not your fault.May of been mentioned already but if not I’m claiming it lol… My thinking is Dickov is alluding to Haaland getting the number 9 shirt, like he wore ;) I think that’s why he’s hyped to be honest. So yep, Haaland to be announced as wearing the number 9 tomorrow. Of course I could be wrong in which case I’m speculating, if I’m right though “you heard it here first” haha.

Fair comment mate. I just think it very unlikely that we'll (possibly ever) get to see more than one or perhaps two EDS graduates every 5 years or so becoming genuine members of the first team squad.
The days of youth squads progressing through to play together at top level are long gone. Clubs will continue to pay for 'ready-made' elite talent from home and overseas. That's why it's now common for City and other top clubs to include buyback and sell-on clauses in deals.
As good as our EDS kids are, unless they display an elite level of talent and desire as the likes of Foden etc, they vast majority are destined to be sold off to fund Academy costs / meet FFP targets. And it's not just at City.
City’s youth teams win the league and have all the best players in the country for their age groups.
Where are these “ready made” players hiding mate?

Maybe raphina was the target all along and sterling was the red herringI think they're using Raphinha as a red herring here
