And then will probably be released.

West Brom have also lost another at 16. Louie Barry has signed for Barcelona. Because he’s gone to a club in another country they will receive just £235,0000.

Surely this must mean that Dwight McNeill is worth £150bn?

Re: Man City pay £8m for a 16 year
There were press reports earlier in the summer that one of our 16 year olds was attracting interest from foreign clubs

Then there is this Liverpool beat PSG and Real Madrid for Harvey Elliot

does make you wonder if producing top players before you even see them is worth it - especially if they go abroad for a pittance

Re: Man City pay £8m for a 16 year
Completely changing your post really is very confusing, Devil's advocate....
Re: Man City pay £8m for a 16 year
Nearly as much as Jeffrey Epstein charges for youngsters.
Re: Man City pay £8m for a 16 year
It's £4m potentially rising to 8, which will be some way away. Still obscene.
Re: Man City pay £8m for a 16 year
Thought that was going to be his hourly wage when I read the post. Won’t be long the way Man City are going. Obscene.

Barca have just signed a 16 yr old from WBA, will only cost them a few hundred thousand.

Re: Man City pay £8m for a 16 year
If kids want to leave to make a few quid at 16 to a club they haven’t a chance of ever playing for, it shows how naive they are and how greedy their parents are.
I wonder if John Cofie ever sits there and day dreams how different things could have been for him if he had stayed with us rather than signing for Manchester United?
He’s recently been turning out for Bradford Park Avenue and Derry City.

Just looking on the official club website...all the new photos and profiles of the Under 23s and 18s are on there now. No mention of Richardson

Agreed however if he has dropped so far down the ladder you have to question his application also. The amount of money this 16 year old will be on could ruin his life as he is too young to be able to handle it. FIFA should step in in my opinion.

No, nor the U-23'S either. i assumed he'd gone on this U-17's England thingrandomclaret2 wrote:Richardson doesnt seem to be playing for the U18s against Everton this morning and didnt play against Bournemouth last week either

Re: Man City pay £8m for a 16 year
Only part I agree with is getting the money down into the lower leagues.
When clubs are going bust, with employees affected, for the same amount as some players are paid in a fortnight, you have to question the ethics of the game. Even worse when PL clubs often poach their star youngsters for a pittance.

Re: Man City pay £8m for a 16 year
Alas - in England at least EPPP was implemented to create these scenarios more regularly. Funnelling talented kids into the most congested development routes, when really, the greatest form of development is just playing games at a level that stretches them.
I'm also concerned about Lewis not appearing in any squad anywhere so far, nor being photographed in the apprentice sign on day.

Re: Man City pay £8m for a 16 year
Cofie went too soon,he'd have been far better staying with us for a few seasons,and possibly getting loaned out to a lower league side,as Jay Rod did in his formative years,his career panned out this way anyhow,but he wouldn''t have the public glare on him to the same extent,heck he might even have got some 1st action for the Clarets given how threadbare our squad was back then.jedi_master wrote:If kids want to leave to make a few quid at 16 to a club they haven’t a chance of ever playing for, it shows how naive they are and how greedy their parents are.

Richard Chaplow is another example of a promising youngster getting experience before moving on,and he's played the majority of his career at a higher level than Cofie.

Re: Man City pay £8m for a 16 year
Questions I’m keen to understand.
1) why did Howe allow Blake to dismantle the youth programme? Was it budgetary, or a lack of care or interest?
2) why did our board allow Howe and Blake to dismantle the youth programme? A lack of long term planning or leadership?
3 What has Howe done to the youth programme at Bournemouth? Has he changed his view of youth development?

Re: Man City pay £8m for a 16 year
All good questions. Hopefully we’ll finally get some answers from those “in the know” on here.
Still not sure I’ve got an answer on who brought McNeil to the club either.
