It depends what you see as important or improvement, keep the status quo which is average but dependable. Or show some faith in a fella who could improve exponentially, who has shown he can compete at this level and 'could' (operative word) improve further and impact games like Fitzy is? Consider Ajax who's champions league team's average age was 23, now HAL isn't no champions league, if they have young guys running about there, but we are to scared to in this league, I call bs. With our facilities and set up we could become the Ajax of Australia and have a revolving door for young Aussies to Europe and a good cash flow so we don't care about crowd size. Mooy's sale was worth more than CFG payed for the actual club, a few more gems it's almost free to run and a good way for Manchester to inflate it's fair play spending. Reputation rises sales are easier, more investments can be made and it's snow ball time, who knows maybe we may have someone play for Manchester one day? Don't kid yourself that the HAL isn't a development league, when the whole team wage cap could pay for only one player in Europe or Asia. We should capitalise on what we have and it's not player spending power, it's our facilities, coaching staff and opportunities we can provide. Rant over. Wasn't it the idea initially? Even bring ManCity young players to develop here? Joyce appearance hinted on something like this as well. May be the plan was to build the base and then start to inject young players? And I do not think crowd numbers would suffer if we keep winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFA loan system means that the loanees wage is calculated under the cap, even if Manchester loan us a player for free, his club wage is taken into account. This only came into effect when CFG bought us. Most City youth are earning more than our seniors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartOfCity Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Cant wait to see the wiz kids of CCM, no idea why people wont make time for them tomorrow. Will be looking closely at Danny D silva and the stuff he brings. I remember when we used to play young blokes with skill and now its just established guys with no clear direction running around.

citymad Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 I have said it before. Joyce is completely blind to the creative midfield stategy of play. He wants 4 up front which includes a high 10. He wants two 6's doubling as CB and 4 across the back. Players like Kilkenny, Bratten, and youth like Genreau and Metcalfe dont fit into the Joyce structure. Kilkenny is done. Bratten not far behind and if you are a midfield youth player, seriously start looking for another club IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Well Wazza will want his starting XI to get off to a better start this time around. It’s 3 weeks in a row now we’ve started so poorly that he’s had to make changes at half time. He won’t want to be doing it again that’s for sure.
