Not good enough from the bits and pieces ive seen, but he will make a career somewhere, hope he does well at crewe be a decent club for him. All the best harry.

Doesn't look quite good enough for where we are now unfortunetly, still only 19 though, you never know. Good luck to the lad.

If he's going to learn the game anywhere you can't do better than Crewe. Saw them against Bolton in pre-season and although Bolton made my eyes bleed, they played some attractive stuff and would have been out of sight if some trialist called Pogba hadn't missed a bunch of sitters. Their replacement for Nick Powell was a young lad called Clayton, definitely one to watch out for on the Football League Show

why do these players not still train with us at least once a week. What is the point in all the investment in the academy if our young players are going to be coached by lower league coaches?

It may change with the new competitions but it's just as important to get these lads out there to other clubs, so that we have a rep for building careers rather than holding them back. If we get jobs for players that miss out at City, then kids will be happy to sign for our academy & try for our squad, knowing that we will use our network to try & ensure they have a good career even if they can't get in our first team. Signing for City becomes a good career move.

Harry Bunn looked like he had something at one point but imo he's actually less of a player now than he was then. Down to putting on muscle/growing up perhaps & just not being as nimble ? Dunno but whatever the reason, I can't see him making it at our level now.
