22m and shamefully for me I haven't a clue who he is in the slightest, my knowledge of football not City related is shit now, I have very little interest outside ourselves in football.

And I doubt we’ve heard of any of them.

Former next best thing number 247 James Wilson is one of them. Other next best things Zak Dearnley, Regan Poole and Matty Willock as well. Not forgetting Valencia whose departure means that the only current rag players to have won a Premier League are Young and Smalling with 2 each and De Gea and Jones with one each. Pretty well the whole of City's squad have won 2 with Ferny on 3 and Aguero and Silva on 4 each. How the mighty have fallen.

I have heard of Wilson. And Valencia, of course.

I stand corrected, laser.

He had a good game against us in the cup, probably why they took interest in him tbh. Still a big gamble though and he played on the left vs us and right wing is the much bigger problem for the rags.

It just shows how much and how often the rags overhype their academy players just as they do with their record signings.

Their academy is a shambles and their under 23 team that was relegated 12 months ago struggled all season in the 2nd division. A rag of my acquaintance told me a few months ago that this was because their under 23 team was filled with 17 year olds. I checked their previous game when they were battered 5-1 by Villa. They didn't have a single 17 year old in the squad. Villa, on the other hand, had four 17 year olds and a 16 year old in their starting line up. It's true what they say. Give a rag a fact and he'll respond with a lie.
