When they get Arteta and Jagielka fit again and possibly retain the likes of Donavan Everton will easily be a top 6 side. Its going to get really interesting next year thats for sure.
I noticed that you have one fan with a bit of intelligence.
You have blown this out of all proportion. Moyes will lose no sleep over this fantasy football team, his comments may or may/not have intended to kick up a stink. Facts are, all of you who are mentioning the American on loan situation instead of playing our youngsters. Might want to look at our subs bench and even stating lineups this season. Ridiculous amount of young blood in and around the first team. But for Carlo Nash, our last European game the teams average age was about 20. Seamus Coleman, James Vaughan, Keiran Agard, Jose Baxter, Shane Duffy, Jack Rodwell, Dan Gosling & James Wallace....All very yound players givne a chance by Moyes recently. Obviously not all at the same time and with regards experience, playing Vaughan and Agard up front together would be suicidal given their lack of match action. With Yak at the ACON, Saha in and out with injury, Jo dicking about, Donovan has been brought in as an experienced head to play alongside a these youngsters.
Citys last outings vs Boro consisted of Micah ricards, the sole (debatable) youngster. And that was an FA cup tie, arguably a great chance to blood youngsters through and give them at least the matchday experience.
Moyes was asked a question, and he gave a frank and honest answer. City field no kids, they dont bring any young blood through. They have a squad less realistic than that of one in a fantasy football game, you wont complain because you support them and are blinded by your support bias. But what he says isnt out of jealousy, its the truth.

1) Let's be fair here, Hughes was in charge for the majority and a number of us were frustrated with him for exactly this reason. He left Weiss on the bench with other, talented kids getting left out in the cold. The Academy without Jim Cassell is a shadow of its former self. Now with Mancini in charge, a manager known for his blooding of youngsters (and already has done, contrary to your belief. In that Boro match Richards, Weiss, Boyata and Ireland played, all were from the academy) we'll see much more of it. Weiss, Boyata and more will get a look-in over the rest of the season. Of course football supporters have tinted specs. It's in our nature. I'd just like to point out that you've done it in this very post, whilst simultaneously chastising us for it. ^^.
