City need 5x homegrown players for their squad this season. You would think they'll be chasing homegrown players exclusively.
I guess that is why we are holding out for more cash. They need our 'product' more than we need their attention. With the cash they have, they may as well buy 5 League 2 players, give them $2k each a week and let them ride the pine and be in the training squad.
With Lampard, Milner and Richards gone and Sinclair likely to go as well, that's 4 homegrown lost in one season.
