Found this quite interesting. Hopefully Breda will be in the Eridivisie next season.

Your very own Vitesse?

Pretty much. Still pretty early in the piece so will be interesting to see how the relationship develops.

Think ultimately we'd want them to be playing in the top division though.

 

[chef]

Two goals from Lewis Baker to send Vitesse into their first cup final in 20 years.

Hes having a great season.

Interesting piece, backing up from a thing on radio the other week.

Few things wrong there, pretty sure Zaba and Kompany came before the takeover.

Also they don't mention the Fletcher Moss coach (who apparently slagged us on the radio bit) works for United.

 

[Magma]

yes zaba and vinny came in before the takeover. it's impossible for them to have come in the weeks after cos we signed robinho on deadline day.

thought it was interesting but overly snide. kids havent had their dreams crushed since 2008. they get crushed across countries every day.

Pretty sure that Fletcher Moss coach doesn't work for United. He slagged us and everyone off last year for taking players from them and not putting anything back in.

Pretty sure that Rashford, CBJ and Axel Tuanzebe are all from Fletcher Moss.

Most smart people support United tbf. He didn't slag off city in that article.

It seems clear to me that United will struggle to attract the majority of the best talents in Manchester. Most of the best Mancs come out of the poorer areas and the opportunity to escape that via education is too great an opportunity and no club bar PSG can afford to compete.

The big question marks for City is still the ability to get these kids in the first team, similar to Chelsea. That's still an area of dominance for United.

A united supporter posted it on bluemoon after the radio programme.

Pretty sure the kid that got released came from him as it was almost identical to a reference he apparently made on the radio programme. Only difference is that he claimed we only signed him to stop United from signing him.

He also claimed that paying school fees was immoral, and wrongly claimed that we pay for siblings as well.

the rags are everywhere.

I was a little concerned at the level of stalking for a second there

I'm guessing that your forums reaction to the programme was fairly predictable?

Is it worth listening to? I've only read the article you posted.

I've not listened to it. Just read about it on bluemoon.

Bah. Our U18's lost to Liverpool in the last game of the regular season. Our first loss since November 2015.

Better for our U23's. Beat Everton 3-0 to give us a chance of the title (Everton on top by 3 points).

United and Chelsea have formed a partnership to create an elite football programme based at St Georges Park for U14s and below.

He came with huge wraps, under 16 dutch captain and we beat out United for his sig.

Apparently hes been killing it.
