And just add Cunningham to that group...
There are 5 players with less than 10 total games between them played on the first team. It says a lot about the academy, and the fact we are on the verge of the CL and all but RSC and SWP on our bench are fresh out of the academy (well except Nielsen technically, but how many teams can claim a player from the Faroe Islands). Great experience and honor given to them.

Richards
Lescott
Bridge
Sylvinho
Zabba
Ireland
Vieira
Petrov
Johnson
Throw in a few of the lads that are out on loan, Hart, Weiss, Robbie, Boj... and that is a group of players who could easily compete in the top half of the premiership. We have got real strength in depth and just need need to up the quality in some key areas of the squad.

Well yes, but he was bought from, was it Blackburn? So he was not truly born and raised at City, just raised, thus the "technically" reference.

I think our injuried and AWOL 11 could finish the league in about 10th place with this formation.
