    steve jewitt:

    the next american star (maybe) he's still 16 and playing for toronto and he's allready scored he's from ethiopia but moved to the us when he was younger could be the next altidore i wish we'd gambe and sign more star 15-18 year olds like our rivals seem to be they cost so little if one of them makes it then it was worth it ars, chel and looserpools reserves and youth teams are full of player from all over the world while our are pretty much full of player from salford i don't want us to go over the top like them but we should have more than 5-10 forigners while the others have absoultly loads of them.

    I do appreciate what your saying here Steve but at the end of the day we are Manchester United not the Cockney muppets or Scouse Bin Dippers and we do things the United way, we dont need to load our youth system with players from all over the world, if we had done that then we would never of seen the likes of Beckham, Giggs, Neville, Fletcher and Brown, we have always had a strong British backbone at United with players from other countries coming into the team to make things that bit better, we have a number of players in the youth team and reserves from around the world the likes of Possebon, Brandao, Eikram, Macheda and now Petrucci so things are looking good youth wise but we also have a large number of British youth players that will continue to shine as much as most foreign youth players, and i am sure that if SAF see's a young player with promise whether he is British or from overseas he will do his best to get them to Old Trafford.

    Basically Liverfool and Chelski can have as many foreign kids in there reserves and youth system as they like but where are these kids going to get the chance to shine, Chelsea cannot afford to give these young kids the chance they need as the team needs to play its strongest side to make Abramovich happy and try and win things, and Liverfool have the same problem they are not good enough to win things with there strongest side let alone with youth team players, this is SAF and Uniteds way of doing things thats why the likes of Danny Simpson, Pique and Chris Eagles  got games last season.

    Thats why we are great because we give alot of local lads the chance to get trained up. just a shame not many make the final grade. i like the fact that we we lots of english youngsters and even better when they local.
