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 :nod:

Big lump sum so family can move nearer the club :nod:

Kids dropped like a hot potato when they've broke a leg / ankle :nod:

it's a very dirty world in the youth section of professional football.

Are Lids currently solvent? Are they still owned by that wossname, the old Chelsea bloke? Nasty piece of work. Ken something, looks like a smurf?

Arsenal did this well over a decade ago with Antony Stokes.

I thought he was going to die? Or am I thinking of Doug Ellis?

Didn't we also do some fairly dodgy stuff to get Jermaine Pennant?

Must be OK as they are spending £11m on a Derby striker this week
