Doubt that could even work.. just seems so unfair that like others have said above, you coach them from 7 to 15 and they just get plucked out of thin air.
No, you can get players when they’re eligible for final Academy contracts which are usually signed at sixteen - that’s what happened to us with the likes of Matondo, Crew and Biancheri.

What I’m saying is that if Leeds and Man United were looking to sell Crew and Biancheri in the future, they’d have to offer them to us for whatever we got in compensation for them.
