Literally the only way we’d see multiple players come through is a transfer ban. That said I think Foden is being brought through well.Here's a question for all you blase folks who trot out 'everything's fine' every time a bunch of kids who were amongst the best in the country at their age group, fuck off into obscurity or to Spain or France without ever playing a game, or leave when we wanted to keep them:
IF PHIL FODEN WASN'T A MANCHESTER CITY FAN, HOW CERTAIN ARE YOU, THAT HE WOULD STILL BE AT MANCHESTER CITY, NEXT SEASON ?
If you answer 'very' you are a liar.
If you were a bit early, you might notice I didn't mention anywhere in my post that either team are superior to us. They are however better than any other top-4 epl team and very close to our level imho.A bit late, but that has to be in contention for the biggest load of bollocks post this season. Dortmund are not at our level and Bayern are on the wane with an ageing squad. It was a long time ago since both those teams “schooled” us, that post is fucking wank.
Sorry pal, my blue tinted specs are making it hard to read my phone screen!Very impartial.
All opinions are equal, but some are more equal than others eh.

Who would you sell to make room for more young players? Sterling? Sane? Stones? Laporte? Not a dig it’s just an outstanding squad.
I don’t disagree. The issue is though that even with KDB and Gundogan injured Foden is only on the bench. Not a problem for me personally but for others it is. Had Sancho signed his contract he’d be there too. Our squad is so good even Kompany and Otamendi get left out of the 16.You don't have to sell anyone. We play 60 games a year which means there's 900 appearances to hand out. Giving half a dozen of those to an academy kid isn't going to make anyone leave, or make us a worse side.

Foden is only 18. That is very young to be playing top level football. How many 18 years olds do, I mean right at the top end of the game!! Too much football to young is also a bad thing. The two big ones I remember were Owen and Rooney. Both pretty much ended up finished in their mid 20s. We need to be careful with him. I understand the desire to see him get more games but it’s a fine line to get it right. I’d say games off the bench at 18 is about right. The odd start here and there. Maybe ten starts next year. To expect more now is a bit fanciful imo
