I preferred this thread when it had blurry pictures of cranes.

You have a son or daughter who is good at mathematics.

At the age of 10 their talent at maths has been noticed and you have serious thinking to doto either

a) stay at the comp where local fame and stardom are guaranteed but there may not be much else and where teachers will help keep their feet on the ground.

b) Take the offer from a selective school where good teachers will develop the talent and although one of many talented mathematicians the chance of university is pretty obvious

c) Accept the fully funded education at one of the worlds top 4 establishments where the teaching is second to none and if they work hard and apply their knowledge a top university followed by any choice of jobs is more or less certain.

As well as that the place on offer includes a guarantee that the child will be developed as a good person as well as a great mathematician and if their talent was precocious but not long lasting they can still go on to any other job they feel comfortable with.

Take the word football out of the debate and its obvious where you would send your kid.
But you wouldn't send the 10 yr old out of the country would you?

It will be good if City becomes the No. 1 British based academy. It would count for so much more if English football was producing better quality young players.

Methinks this site needs to be "cleaned up".The last few pages don`t do anything for this thread,except put a spin on a negative way of thinking by one individual.Get a fucking new thread started "why and who to choose" !!!
Fine if you think its negative .the thread tittle is about the campus .the point being debated is what do people see the benefits of the new facilities being to a top 3 club .as opposed to a mid table club producing players for first team football ? My only view is I dont know how it will or won't.what's your take on it ? Over the last 5 years we have from memory had razak huwes surarez.sold as not good enough Lopez rekik guidetti loaned and pozo only likely to see fa cup games.by moving the training facilities across the road do you see this dramatically changing ?I was just debating which is the point of a forum others thoughts.if its not for you go to the thread about blue glasses which in my opinion should have been pulled as a bluemoon low .or why not post about being pissed up or the MEN ?

I'd really appreciate a thread that was about the Etihad Campus, the stadium development and the collar site.

I do !! But not on a thread which is solely about the excellent work that is being carried out.

There are kids who are taken abroad for education because of their ability, it happens every year.

There are kids who have been poached from Africa by French (and Arsenal) for decades prior to the new FIFA rules.

One of the selling points for teenage kids and their parents in visiting the new CFA facilities is the fact that parents can visit and stay in the onsite accommodation.

I would also point to the new structure of EPPP points to a future where lower league clubs will partner the PL academies and act as feeder academy facilities.

Surely a question about pros or cons about moving the campus not about the campus ? Or do you want to see pics of signs and bridges " which I enjoy seeing the progress " well done jrb .just don't get the concept this development cements are position as eternal top 3 .its a big part but IMHO scouting coaching staff and medical team play just a big a part
 
Re: What's the Point of the New Campus/Academy?

I've split this off because it would be nice to keep the original thread purely focused on development rather than large discussion around the Campus. Development meaning the actually construction of the bricks and mortar and the sponsorship opportunities rather than the footballing development I mean
