Be nice if like Barcelona we supplimented the youth with players like Messi too, don't you think, to say nothing of winning top trophies consistently.

Perhaps one day we will .

Messi has been at Barcelona since he was 13, he's as much a part of their youth setup as Bannan is of ours.

Aha looks like questions concerning injury updates won't be answered either. Anyone any contacts at WiKi Leaks.

You could always use physioroom.com, like the rest of the world.

General

Any chance we could recall Curtis Davies from Leicester, play him in one league game, then send him back again, just to put an end to this "clause in contract" nonsense?

Thanks.

Well scored.
Do you think we will be bringing in expensive kids from Argentina in the future then ?

we have forked out for youngsters...

harry forrester was quite expensive, 1m for a 14 year old, i think... gareth barry cost half a mil as a 16 year old...

thats not cheap...

its not like we havent brought in players from across the globe either... mika aaritalo was highly rated and brought in, magnus troest, fabio ferraresi, etc...

currently, herd is a convict, and you cant get much further away than that!

General,

Who do you think will win the Superbowl (Barring a Cleveland miracle)?

I originally backed Green Bay, but would now like to hedge my bets a little.

Cheers.

for that, he very much deserves a pat on the back...

As it only cost 2 millions a year to run academy. We could do it for two or three other clubs to increase our influence and get a much wider range of players and ability to place players on loan. So we can have Aston Villa B, C, D Team :)
