Off the top of my head I remember Andy Hinchcliffe, David White, Steve Redmond and Paul Lake were all products of City's youth policy and more importantly they all featured in the demolition 5 - 1 derby when united fans were shouting for Bacon-faces head.

Thnaks Danbert.. you go back in history (25 years!! to name 4).. I name last weeks team.. all key players this year. The home grown rule is no issue for us, name yours in this squad?
Geronimo.. great cutting response.. with no detail or info.. in other words you know sod all.. just want to wade in with no actual debate.. at least Danbo knows his city... well the mercenaries who represent them.. step up or shut up eh?
Good one swoop.. :-)
Anyway, Danbo for a review of history and what youth gives you.. here's a taster..
You do get a trickle through Iain but no more than most other teams.
All the quality in your team came through the cheque book.
Come on Stagger that is wrong.. Name 5 home grown players for top 6 teams in the last 2-3 years..
United easy, ignoring 92 class.. we always bring through 1-2 every few years.. and they get game time.. when do City and Chelsea provide that?
Everton you can.. credit to Moyes...
Liverpool you can.. just.. few make it but they do try...
Arsenal, City, Spurs and Chelsea you can't...
Lower down West Ham do, off hand I struggle to think who does. Yes United have stability to do that, but even under Moyes Januzaj has had game time.. it speaks volumes about the clubs investment in youth and belief in youth going back to the Babes.. City just cannot commit like that.
At United Moyes has gone for Smalling and Evans over Vidic and Rio.. people moan about about lack of english talent than attack United constantly who blood more english players than anyone.. who was the last household name to break through at City? Richards 5-10 years ago? Hart was bought in... they even relocated Hennesey, his dad quit his job.. so he lived within FA rules... yet he never got the chance..
I would give the cardiff city job to phil brown he has experience of working in the premiership with a ridiculous tanI knew Tan would sack him cos all the sines were there!
Sin, Cos and Tan are all at a party. While Sin and Cos are on the dance floor they see Tan sitting in the corner looking sad. They walk over to Tan and ask what's wrong, to which Tan replies "I don't Integrate well".
I should have put it in better context. As the biggest, richest most successful team in the country over the last 25years, your has nowt special to bang on about.
There are clubs like West Ham, Southampton and I would say even Everton all have a better youth success rate than your lot.
Lets not forget all top clubs usually pluck the good kids from lower league outfits and then ditch most of them.
