Permanent deal, not even half a million quid. I hope we have a sell on clause!

Half a million quid...  Is this what the EDS is for, drip-feeding small amounts of money into the coffers?

I don't know what we paid for him and what he's cost us over 4 years but I reckon it's more than what we sold him for. I'm guessing it's been just a 'hit or miss' chance academy for a few years (like when we bought wankers like Bridge and Adebayor). You need to start somewhere.

Having said that, the Youth FA cup team last night had 7 GM lads starting. That's Greater Manchester and not genetically modified!!!

Maybe we'll go through a phase (not unlike Chelsea) for a couple of years where we end up selling most of the players coming through and keeping the odd one (like Courtois). Then the next phase will see players coming through that can make the first team (like Chelsea seem to be doing).

Hopefully, most of the players coming through will be English which can only be good for the Hg rules and the England team.

Shame....he had some serious ability, but I guess it's not all about ability now with the new academy...it's about having the right attitude as well.

Maybe Rusnak, who was a little outspoken, didn't fit into what they wanted.

Wait...  Does this mean we... won't be ruining football anymore?
