We don't half churn some talent out. We are selling a 14 year old to City for ?500,000.
Wonder kid called Jones

Where is the game going when they can poach a 14 yr old for half a million quid , we simply have no chance do we - the golden tickets so called are robbed at an early age Originally Posted by ballcock
Ive posted before though re a lad I know and hes now gone from Man City to sign for Newcastle ( brilliant player ) when he signed for city simply could t turn it down - mum stop working move closer to Manchester - house - picked up for training initially - then schooled at city to have him there more of the time etc
Newcastle bought him - the point was so much money invested and then sold to Newcastle at the end of it.

I agree with Mr B, it might turn out to be a good deal for us, most 14 year old 'wonderkids' end up in non-league football.
