    Sparks eluded to the fact that since Brexit, the PL Clubs are hoovering up young talent from the lower leagues instead.
    If we get any particularly good young kids they will get snapped up. The professional contract allows us to demand a higher fee, including significant add on's. The best young kids at 13 or 14 aren't playing for Bradford City. They're at a Premier League club. We will benefit from the 'late developers' who kick on at 15/16/17 and allow us to tie them down with a scholarship.

    Hopefully we can get a mix and get some into the first team and some to sell on, with transfer fee fed back into growing the team/club. As we know, the add on's can be significant.

    There must be hundreds of kids that get hoovered up by PL clubs that are more than good enough for EFL teams but never really see the light of day....

    The Lower League Look have elaborated and said its the biggest signing so far and only here because of Hughes.

    Bare in mind this massive signing, bigger than anything so far was cited by Mark Lawn, the man who told the world we had just beaten Barcelona.

    Bearing all that in mind, it's probably Kyle Hudlin. All 6ft 9 inches of him.

    Best player to of put on a City shirt in the last decade. Would love to see it happen

    Apparently it’s a player dropping from the PL. in that case it’s probably Shane long

    Can't see it, but would be an upgrade on Watt for sure!

    Him and Smallwood, good grief! It sounds scary. Delph is a very good footballer!

    He could pick Hughes up on the way as he probably lives in Cheshire?
