Youth and development

That was only a jibe at hiag coz he called him Harry Lame. Bit surprised that’s still causing ya burn 8 years later tbh.

 

Did you just call City a bigger club than Liverpool?

That’s some elite level butthurt on display Fosse.

It’s not my fault your ‘youngsters’ are average mate.

 

Good one Flos

 

Only burn I’m gettin is in the scorching sun fam

hope you slapped some sun protection cream on today

 

Do they need to be from your own academy or summin?

If so See 1st post.

Trent wins, close fred

 

Salah still a six season wonder too

 

Yeh but bro

you haven’t even had him a week

I mean if you’d been training him up for a few seasons at least

then I get it

 

The number of "next massive-world-beater-stars" we've had at our club, I could count on my fingers... If I had a dozen arms.

Németh, Suso, Craig Lindfield. Pacheco...

Yeah, you've probably not heard of most of them unless you're a Liverpool fan... And not because they're young anymore.

... And it turns out to be the ones that no one expected, like TAA who ends up stepping up and being the " big one" for the generation.

 

I don't have huge expectations for Jones. Three years from now he'll be a big player for a mid table team.

 

25+ goals a season since Ponkie predicted Harry Kane a one season wonder



Jesus can only dream of them stats

 

What have those goals won him ? Even Jack Wilshere has got 3 more pots than Kane and he’s retired bro

Sly bookmark gone in for that 25 goal Jesus comment

 

Ohh now I was missing the point?

first time I’ve heard you say that one in response to that particular gem

I’ll ask Hiag

oh he’s dead

I can’t

that must make you right by default

impressive

 

25 league goals? Jesus isn’t ready to mix it with that type of company bro

 

And he probably won't play any of them until forced

 

I edited that before I thought you’d respond

But yeah

Thanks btw

 

How's your 'above average youngster', Mason Greenmile doing?

... and City are currently the biggest club in England ... not just the Northwest ...

... table doesn't lie mate ... and it's why they have signed Haaland, whereas you are having to all but kidnap de Jong to get him to come... I know that must hurt a lot ...

 

Something going on with Schmeichel methinks ... only just joined up for pre season ... a week after all the other Internationals... watch this space.

 

Big is subjective here. Not the biggest fan base. Not the biggest income. Not the biggest stadium. Not the most storied history.

They do have the biggest expenditure and are probably the best on field. If Newcastle spend £500 mill next summer will you call them the biggest club in the world?

Biggest can only be applied to City very subjectively.

I would propose an objective approach to club size might go along the lines of.


Club size = F + SS + 2*MT + LT + 2*RMT + RLT + CMT + .5 * CLT

Where F is a number 1 to 20 representing number of fans where 20 is world's most supported club and a club with half as many fans would have "10”

SS is a number between 1 to 20 calculated same as above but Stadium size.


MT is total number of major trophies won (National top tier League and top continental Titles)

LT is total number of lesser trophies won. (League Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Cup, World Club Cup, etc)


RMT and RLT and recent major trophies/recent lesser trophies. Ones won in the last 10 years.

CMT and CLT are Currently held major trophies and Lesser Trophies.




I've actually no idea which Club would be biggest using this formula. I suspect ManU, ManC and Liverpool would be pretty close to each other. But, I think it would be a fair rating, objectively to determine biggest club

 

biggest dickhead fans could be another factor in your formula when determining ‘biggest’ I think maybe?

 

So are you suggesting Leicester are a big club?
