Re Tommy, I think he has that extra motivation which takes a player beyond someone who is perhaps more talented?
I know Phil Neville was always considered the superior player to his brother, but Gary wanted it more, simply because he only ever wanted to play for United.
Tommy obviously has the City credentials and, each time I have seen him come on, he is keen as mustard and always surprises with a moment of surprising skill?
I would like to assume for the first time in a long while, there is a real two-way trust which now exists between the kids we have and Pep.
If Pep thinks these kids coming through are good enough to play for him, then he will also have a fair idea he can be successful with them and win trophies, rather than just paying lip service to it all.
