My youngest has just been signed to Dirty Leeds, the coach there was telling us that a 12yr old from Sunderland has just been signed by Man City, they obviously can'y pay the 12yr old so they are giving his mum 75k a year and paying for private schooling for this kid...., makes you wonder how many of them they do this for
A nice new reliable car for mum / dad to take the kid to training
Big lump sum so family can move nearer the club
Kids dropped like a hot potato when they've broke a leg / ankle
it's a very dirty world in the youth section of professional football.
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
