Like meatloaf! But I dont understand logic of producing young talent to sell them? Can understand crewe ect doing it but selling for 10m would mean saving couple of million if used to get couple of players in.....pay fee and wages probably double or treble his is that a benefit to city?

has beens
at the moment we are putting players on the bench and would like to see 1 or 2 thrown in when its safe to do so i thought 4 nil up against preston we could have given more a run out
but not the end of the world if they don' t get on but its about time we keep the good prospect and lets use them rather than sell.

The bottom line is that every single club is a selling club - other than the very few elite clubs.
To be at an academy at an established Premier League team is an enticing offer for young players.
If I were to be unbiased then I would say that if any of our young players had the chance to go to an established Premier League development team such as Burnley, Brighton, Crystal Palace etc then they would jump at the chance.

Tan wanted young players to come through, hopefully it wasn't with the idea of selling them off but for gaining promotion.
