City did have a good record for bringing boys through from very young ages as seen with the squad that won the FA youth cup, although it seems they are moving away from that sadly and spending on bringing in players from others clubs more frequently. Be interesting to see how the squads evolve in the next 5-20 years.
That said they generally pay better than compensation to smaller clubs, and pay the kids themselves ludicrous salaries when they turn 17 all agreed prior in pre contracts. 17 year olds brought in are regularly getting 5 figures per week and six figure signing on fees. Bolton and the likes just can’t get into that game.
