There was an article in The Times a few years ago about City’s youth academy, pretty sure it made their back page.

It mentioned a prospect who was being talked about as an English Messi and arguably the brightest prospect ever to come out of Manchester. I’m sure it said we had a couple of his brothers on the books too.

Can anyone remember the article and know who it was referring to? Was it Foden? Or was it someone else? Cheers.

I remember the story also but 100 percent sure it was not Roberts and pretty sure it was not Foden either

We’ve had a few new whatever down the years. The best one was Thomas Madigage In the late 80s who was dubbed the new Pele by Swales and the media.
