Site Supporter fatolive Posted November 9, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2020 My lads are doubly gutted, one just back from 8 weeks injury , one training session then off for another 4 and the youngest is at Ladybridge which closed , re opened for a week the shut down again. Quite lucky in that that can kick about in the garden and on the field together though so small mercies. Typical , The weather was perfect over the weekend too, think we all know 1st weekend back will be rained off ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Faustus Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The lad had two games this weekend: one with one parent allowed per player, each of us masked up, distanced and temperature taken. The other, parent free... Which led to numerous adults all stood in woodland trying to sneak a view over a wall- no organisation whatsoever. The whole thing seems half arsed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Faustus Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Things I've heard this weekend... @Rudymay be able to validate this... City u14s- all wear GPS vests to track activity. Viv Andersons lad was due to get a boot deal off Puma worth 4k,but was outscored by another lad who got it instead. Tournament in Belgium, each kid was given a credit card so spending could be monitored. One lad from Africa arrived with no papers, been offloaded to a grass roots side until they can sort documentation. Keeper supposed to be a good un, called up to England 06 team. Young McAtee better than Foden These kids have the option of private education, it's a million miles away from other academies... 4k to spend on Puma gear ffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City’s academy is absolutely frightening, over the next ten years the quality they are going to be churning out will be unbelievable, there’s a kid in the 13’s I won’t say his name but he won MOM or tournament and he was allowed a training session with the first team and they were blown away by him. kids these days are being promised university places free of charge. You can’t offer the parents anything but there are ways to offer kids things UEFA are trying to crack down on it but IMO there isn’t much they can do Charlie Anderson IMO got given bad advice and took it which is surprising considering who is dad is .

Pablo Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) One of the U16 lads at City is a Bolton lad....best kid player I have ever seen, his dad played for City...has a gym in Little lever. Not sure how the U16 striker is doing for CIty, they paid £100k for him from Bolton in last 12-18 months.
