The official EDS and academy thread 2011/12

Greg Hartley, Dedryck Boyata, Ben Mee, Kieran Trippier, Ryan McGivern, Andrew Tutte , Vladimír Weiss, Scott Kay, David Ball, Róbert Mak, Donal McDermott, Filip Mentel, Abdi Ibrahim, Angelos Tsiaklis, Alex Nimely-Tchuimeni , James Poole.

That team that ran away with the league two years running, won more of less every tournament they competed in and won the FA Youth cup has produced players for Rochdale, Huddersfield, Macclesfield, Hartlepool and Wrexham!

So yeah lets focus on results rather than the development of players....................[/quote]

not one of those players is in the first team, who cares if we produce them for rochdale all lower league teams I want to be seeing them in a city shirt, however I cant see any being given a chance, people say players like razak and scappuzzi got a chance, an odd game, half an hour hear or there is not a chance.
 
Our accelerated spending is coming to an end though, so they will have more of a chance in future - if they're good enough. For example by the time Razak is fully ready to be a City player, Yaya will be 32/33 so if Razak is good enough by then to fill his boots and we don't just buy a replacement, there is his chance.

I managed to get over to the Nextgen game against Barca on Thursday, The first 20 minutes were quite even, Hiwula had two great chances to score but fluffed them both when it was probably easier to score. Straight after the second miss Barca went up the other end and scored, from then on in it was all Barcelona in a typical performance with fast passing and closing down city every time they lost the ball. Suarez played very well for city, but unforunately he was on a different planet to the rest of the team, he got injured (knee) half way through the second half, he was in agony having treatment hopefully it was an impact injury rather than a tear/pull. Johansen made some good saves, and Coulson played well at full back, Roman got into the game in the second half after being quiet in the first. Henshall was the biggest disappointment he was very poor. Rekik also didnt stand out, which i would have expected, he was caught on the ball a number of times and tended to pick the wrong pass.

Thanks for that.Glad to hear Coulson had a good game.he's been coming on quite well I think and has good attacking instincts. Not at all surprised to hear your assessment about Henshall.

Anyone know the plans for after NextGen? We have a couple of games in the Central League against Preston/Morecambe and that's it.

I believe there were supposed to be prestige friendlies against top clubs but it looks like they won't happen now.
