    they send ten of the ****ers to every youth tournament in the country from under 6's through to under 12's

    their attitude to youth football is a joke.

        they do - very seriously but at the cost of the kids feelings.

        I was at a tournament and i was having a chat with a scout from man city and another from leeds united.

        anyway, the guy from city said that at this age all we do is 'get them in and get them out quick'. Even the scout from leeds seemed a little surprised because they dont take in 100 kids every season and then get rid of 80 by the time they start.

        Leeds have their own issues but at least they dont treat youth football like a free for all. They take their time looking at players whereas at city its different purely because of the numbers involved.

        Its not nice and its not the way to do things. There's no way their academy will produce players for their squad because they are looking for genuine world class talents. Honestly, they only come around once every 10 or so cycles and to get into the city squad you have to be a world class talent from an early age.

        Their academy will produce players for other teams.

            Seeing we have just poached a scout from city it may be a teeny bit relevant.

            More relevant than city use apples anyway

              There's a scout thread elsewhere though.

                To be fair, El Mat was replying to my post..
                The scout thread was started after that...


                Some people do have a habit of taking footie threads off topic though..

                    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



                    May the Lord bless this post.

                        That was the idea.

                          God were all bored...

                          The euros have given some excitement but were all desperate to see how the team lines up under rodgers in our friendlies or europa leage fixtures.

                          Not too long to go now. when does pre season training start ?
