Who Has The Best Youth Set-up In The Country?

[Clowgon]

I cant answer this, because i have no-clue. I have to admit, United's one, isnt really good atm.

[StefanCampbell]

You make so many pointless threads ;l, but the best youth set-up is CREW believe it or not, you wouldn't believe some of the players they have produced.

Southhampton have an amazing youth system.

[carrick]

man united

[Jamie!]

The usual suspects; Arsenal, Citeh, United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Villa. City's is probably the best outta them though since they tend to bring through alot more local players than the likes of Arsenal and United who tend to buy them in at a young age from abroad.

Like mentioned, Crewe Alex have a decent academy n all. They've made a fortune from their set-up bringing through the likes of Dean Ashton etc.

Ours is average, but despite us only have an Centre of Excellence, we've got a decent crop of players coming through the ranks. Made the quarter finals of the FA Youth Cup this year, and Madine (only 17) has just broke into out first squad and Newcastle are after him.

It would city due to them bringing local lads through the system.

[:G.M.T:]

Bradford City have a really good youth system in place and recently have sold some players to big clubs like liverpool etc.

It is one of those youth systems which big clubs keep and eye on as it is now showing.

West Ham: Jermain Defoe, Joe Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Michael Carrick. Need I say more?

I agree.

[Immenseman]

Yeah, I was surprised someone didn't mention West Ham before. It surely has to be them, the great players they've produced is incredible.

Crew have a decent one but it's not top stuff compared to City and West Ham.

I'd have to agree, Richards, Onouha, Johnson, Ireland, Kasper, Hart (Bit of a background), Sturridge, Miller, and more! Oh and Mancini has placed his son in our youth system.

West Ham: Jermain Defoe, Joe Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Michael Carrick. Need I say more?
West Hams is good however they haven't produced any talent for the passed 4-5 years. I think their next star will be this Sears kid however he needs to work on his accuracy.

For some reason my mind is keep shouting 'M'boro, M'boro! However I don't know why... o.O'.

Mark Noble, and you might be able to add Freddy Sears soon.

[mangle]

Sears is a great player coming through imo.

[StefanCampbell]

Crew have a decent one but it's not top stuff compared to City and West Ham.


who have city produced..?

[brandon]

who have city produced..?
Stephen Ireland, Micah Richards, Nedum Onuoha, Ishmael Miller.
Correct me if I'm wrong Mooon.

[StefanCampbell]

they aren't exactly top flight players, lets be honest?

[brandon]

Micah Richards is.

[StefanCampbell]

1 player compared to about 5 from west ham? :rolleyes:

I know. I don't see why you are so bothered though when you support Wolves. He supports Man City so he's obviously gonna speak highly of the youth players. And it's Crewe not Crew. ;)

Hmm OK then, Micah ain't top flight when he's Englands youngest defenders... hang on a minute, dam your right he's blates not top notch! Johnson... hmm OK then, even if he did rip United apart. Ireland? OK, OK, OK international player for Ireland... Ned? Dam dude... don't get me started, go read the reports Cap has on him on the FA website.
