http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17755809 £300k for a 16 year old, he must be pretty good. EDIT: I've just noticed the daily FAIL mis-reported a story about Dan Smith last month, lol http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2117474/Manchester-City-sign-Dan-Smith-Crewe.html
quite excited about this as Crewe are well known for their youth set up, we got murphy from them, hopefully he will become a good player!
Our youth academy is looking very strong at the moment, I watched The U18s play Wolves yesterday and they were very impressive. Can't say I've heard of the lad but like LP said Crewe have a really good youth set up. Certainly hope he makes it with us and good luck to the lad
How are the u18's this season? I was curious as I thought they might struggle with Rodolfo being promoted.
They've had a few wobbles but overall a very good campaign, there's been games where we've conceded late goals which have cost us. But we're playing good football and it's all about their progress anyway.
Good stuff, I cant say I have ever heard of him but £300k for a 16 year old is a lot so they must have high hopes for him.
