I agree. Also, Bruno went on to regularly playing right back for us and Connelly was forever injured.

So he could have been just behind Sol and Morrison.

I'm astounded that people defend the club's approach to young players, which has been appalling.

Even some of the youngsters who left us and not done great after they left, I wonder if they were damaged by our 'anti-youth development' approach ... overlooked, sidelined, ignored and at a club that has a football approach that is quite frankly 'prehistoric'.


As much as I love the club, I would really struggle allowing one of my children to sign for city at youth level knowing the clubs approach to development


This is what Bellamy was trying to change.
