Its not healthy overall for the game but then how much is it if a youth policy as Man Utd had back in the early 90's turfs out over half a team of utter quality? I suppose its far more acceptable is the answer. in fairness the so called 'yoof' policy that utd had bac in the day was forced on them and a DIRECT result of fa regulation.

Bredbury Blue Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Man Utd legends sending kids to MAN CITY academy - Stunning Viv Anderson revelation MANCHESTER UNITED’S former stars are heading across to their rivals in a move that could cement the dominance of the blue side of the city into the next generation. Nov 20, 2018 Man Utd legends have their kids in the City academy, says Viv Anderson Viv Anderson, who was Sir Alex Ferguson’s first signing in 1987 and played for the Red Devils until 1991, first enrolled his 11-year-old son Freddy into the Manchester City academy at the age of six. And these days there are several familiar faces among the dads on the touchline at youth team games. “We have Darren Fletcher’s twin boys there,” said Anderson. “Wayne Rooney’s lad was there the other day and Andy Cole’s lad. We have Darren Fletcher’s twin boys there" “Freddy went to Melwood with Liverpool when he was four, then he was spotted by City’s academy and United’s. I said he had to choose. “And nothing compares to the set-up City have over there. "They are like Manchester United were back in the day. The coaching is so intense. “Their £230m training ground is world class with its indoor gym. "The kids get tracksuits and kit worth over £1,000 – it is a completely different world.” Freddy Anderson also tends to play on the right side like his European Cup-winning father but at least in his current company he is not being singled out because of his family ties. “Comparisons are not a problem for Freddy, there are that many dads there who used to be players. Emile Heskey’s boys, Michael Brown’s as well as those others,” said Anderson. https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1048114/Man-Utd-legends-sending-kids-Manchester-City-Viv-Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a suggestion but as a mod maybe open a new thread so all this kind of non football related pish can be aired somewhere other than the football threads and leave them for people to discuss football related issues and have a banter. Im sure anyone looking in wont be for long when you have to continuously read about this drivel and stuff like Spurs delayed stadium bla bla. Lets face it, those that do are posting this stuff are just looking for a quick troll til they move somewhere else. In the meantime everyone else is bored to the back teeth of it. Just my opinion.

If it was a current player I'd guess Bravo, but most clubs from Chile haven't won the Libertadores in a long time...I think. Or, maybe Martin Demichelis ?

And unless I've lost it completely Robinho was part of the Santos Copa winning team along with Diego, who was the number 10 actually tipped for greater things than Robinho, but faded away into obscurity in Germany.
