Reading the past post about Man U..

I was thinking yesterday about how many players have come through the Man U youth set up in the past 7 or 8 years who have had a significant impact on the Prem or internationally and I couldn't think of one.

 

David Healey has done OK for N. Ireland

 

Wes Brown...

He might be 9 years though tbh.</p>

</p>

 

Ok... thats one

But you get the point I'm trying to make... Man Utd built a reputation on their young players in the past, but don't seem to be producing the goods at home anymore.

 

West Ham have one of the biggest influences on current national team

Lampard
Ferdinand
Joe Cole
Carrick

 

RE: Wes Brown...

Well he played against us in the prem... so thats why i said 7/8 years... because he was the last one I could think of.

 

RE: West Ham have one of the biggest influences on current national team

None of them should be in the starting XI either.

 

none of them?

thats a interesting one

 

Man City

seem to bringing through the best youngsters now. Onohua, Richards and Johnson spring to mind.

 

Richards was not a man city graduate.... They signed him two years ago from a lower league side, but i forget who....

 

Oldham, who have a 25% sell on clause,

which City tried to buy out when it looked like they could be getting &pound;20M+ from Chelsea.
