    Does being 21 qualify you as a cradlesnatcher?

    I have to say that it looks absolutely superb! I'm sure a lot of youngsters will be attracted to City by the facilities alone. Also, as some people have mentioned, City already have a very good academy so I don't think they'll have to wait 10 years to start seeing the benefits.

    However, I think our academy is/will be equally as good, if not better, even if the facilities aren't as big. I can see this turning into another Chelsea where none of their youngsters get a chance in the first team (e.g. Josh McEachran).

    Hopefully in a few years' time Saints will be an established Premier League side so I don't think we'll have any problems attracting players, especially if we start to bring through a whole group of them like Barcelona. I think it's all about the record of bringing players through and I reckon we'll end up a more attractive proposition than most British teams anyway. <ok>
