I'd be weary of signing strikers from Man City. Obviously Aguero and Jesus are incredible players but they've got such good midfielders that I'd think I'd score one or two in their team! It's ridiculous how good Silva, B.Silva, KDB, Gundogan, Sane, Sterling, Mahrez, etc are. I watched Silva play for Spain against Croatia, and I was completely blown away by him and Iniesta. It was an absolute joke how good they were.
I stand by my opinion that any footballer who has been around the professional game for 20 years should be sent off to do his Pro licence, and then fast-tracked into manament, i.e. given a role such as the one Bellamy has with the U18's, or work with the reserves. The idea that they should coach a bunch of kids, the vast majority of whom won't even be offered professional contracts, is not your best idea.
PS I'm still waiting for your info, so that I can update my Pep files!
Bellamy IS working with the kids. That's what people mean, who do you still not get this? I have replied on another thread but Pep coached Barcelona's B team, which is a youth team for all intents and purposes. Also, some of the other managers I mentioned on that thread worked at lower age levels such as Hasenhuttl and Rodgers.
