We get it you think the United academy and manager are great whilst ours is a white elephant. Come back to me in 10 years and if what you say is true then I will admit you were right and I am wrong. The point is United have been a winning club in the UK for nearly 20 years we have only just started. We were happy with players no disrespect intended like Wilo Flood Lee Croft Greg Cunningham etc coming into the first team as we had a poor team. Since the takeover the bar has been raised but that takes time to filter down to both academy players and coaches. Being a "just do" player is no longer good enough for City who are looking for the very best players in the world in every position. That means that academy players either have to be world class when leaving the academy or thought to have world class potential
If you think having a token player on the bench is the right way to go thats fine but I think you are wrong as City want a squad of world class players that they can call upon in order to compete in every competition. How would you feel as a top international player not being in the squad for the sake of an 18 year old who isnt fit to lace your boots but he is an academy player
We have developed a style of play which is now the blueprint from the 1st team to the u8's everyone now knows the levels to which they have to aspire so lets give it time. I have not yet seen any of the players that have left our acamemy go onto become world stars but this is no doubt why City are insisting on buy back clauses in contracts as they dont want to be faced with the Pogba fiasco for one of their own young players
But please dont use the ad hoc approach that United have of injury crisis causes young player to be picked young player scores a few goals. Hailed as the next big thing and obviously picked for England or even try to make him English. Said young player is found out and is then sold to Sunderland or Wigan Januzay or Powell anyone as the way to go
No you don't fucking get it at all & don't seem to have fucking English as a first language. HOW THE FUCK can you read my posts and come up with this shite ?
I think Utd's academy is utter & complete fucking dogshite.
Yet they play these average to crap players in the Premier League & they get the kudos from the football world, for doing it.
We have a load of brilliant kids playing brilliant football & the general theme on here is that just ONE of them getting on for ten minutes at the end of a game, is dangerous, because he takes a place on the fucking bench where the manager has to leave out a 3rd fullback.
We have wasted fucking years of potential talent, & those ****s have been playing these fucking galoots in the Prem, for decades, & still winnining stuff most years.
The general idea being pushed around football is, kid signing for Utd= potential PL player, kid signing for City= money for parents.
They want to stop us getting the best talent & if there are enough self satisfied, lazy, attitudes like yours around, they will succeed.
We need to PLAY our players, not polish them & put them in display cases.
