The One and Only
I saw this on Mr. Mujac's Twitter. Obviously I know nothing about him.
Sort of related but didn't we sign some bang average defender from City a couple of years back? I think he was here for 6 months then left
How old is the fella and what position does he play?
Dont get excited, he will turn out to be a wonder kid in a couple of years and then we'll give him away to another club.
Not too many good players do that
One of our 15-year-old kids was approached by Manchester City. I told him he couldn’t go, certainly until he was 16 when we would receive compensation. Anyway, David Platt rang me up, City’s assistant manager at the time and a former Crewe academy product. He said: ‘I’ve found out we are after one of your boys. Would you like me to come and speak to him and tell him not to come? There is no point in him going to City. We have hundreds of them here and don’t know what to do with them.’ He signed for Liverpool in the end.

A quote from Crewe's Dario Gradi for some perspective on City's academy:
Always like it when they refuse City for United.
A little fella called Ryan Giggs did it once, and look how he turned out
Seems to be a bit of a Guido judging by his Twitter account. Do not want.
Apparently I means "lower-class or working-class urban Italian American."
Erm, why would anyone have an issue with that?
Whatever about anything else, he's a sound lad on snapchat. Regularly snaps me and replies to stuff. Sent me a quick snap of inside Carrington yesterday, don't know if he should be doing that though!
