Babylon Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 I saw someone on twitter post the question about how many players Pearson has signed, that were at the time or had been at some point in the United youth team. Can we add any names to this list? For Leicester From United Tom Cleverley Danny Drinkwater Matty James, Ritchie De Laet Michael Keane Jesse Lingard Jack Barmby Tom Lawrence Nick Powell Louis Rowley At Hull James Chester Robbie Brady Cameron Stewart Corry Evans Joe Dudgeon Joshua King For Leicester Previously at united Ben Marshall Ritchie Wellens Danny Simpson PS. Yes I had nothing better to do on my lunch.
MrSpaM Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 Considering United used to thrive on youngsters coming through and doing the buisness for them it's pretty obvious why they are doing poorly atm. We've bought them all!
Simo86 Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 You can add Danny Simpson to that list as well Babs
dave_the_fox Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 You can add Danny Simpson to that list as well Babs He's at bottom
Guest Col city fan Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 Wont be the case much longer! Utd are binning all their young players..
Babylon Posted 3 September 2014 Author Posted 3 September 2014 Wont be the case much longer! Utd are binning all their young players.. I was going to add, whilst we might still look at them in future. I can see it coming to an end with the current generation. I think Pearson liked the attitude drummed into the young lads at United by Ferguson as much as the talent.
Weller in Tights Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 It appears that Man U have become a feeder club for us!!! You're just our feeder club You're just our feeder club You're just our feeder club You're just our feeder club.
FrankieWorthoYaggedMyWife Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 Wont be the case much longer! Utd are binning all their young players.. TBH since the 92 lot the rest that have come through have been average and basically carried by better players around them. O'Shea, Brown, Welbeck, Cleverly....

I got the feeling (not backed up by facts) that Pearson and Fergie probably got on pretty well? Certainly Utd were more than happy to loan/sell us players. God knows what Van Gaal is now doing, other than spending.
Babylon Posted 3 September 2014 Author Posted 3 September 2014 Who signed Wellens ? Pearson in his first spell after promotion...
Guest seanfox778 Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 Who signed Wellens ? It was Pearson after the League 1 season I think
cjslcfc Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 Alex Bruce played for Man Utd academy until released at 16
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 Does seem strange he goes to United so often, must be something in it, most the players on the list are good or better.
zak_lcfc Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 United must have a good academy but just highlights the issue with these big clubs really, would rather drop large sums on bringing players in then investing time into youngsters, Can't complain though allowed us to bring in some of our most important players on cheap transfers because Pearson is prepared to invest time into developing them. Also helps to get them playing a certain way when they are younger means they don't have to change their game completely once they move to us!

_Fatboyslow_ Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 It was Pearson after the League 1 season I think Opps didn't see him at the bottom

Certainly Utd were more than happy to loan/sell us players. God knows what Van Gaal is now doing, other than spending. LVG is on a time budget. He must get Utd into the Champions League. Companies such as Addidas will reduce their sponsorship fees if does not happen. I think I read somewhere they have a clause if they don't make top 4 the fees will be reduced from 75m to 52m. They are just one of many. Utd are gambling big time this season. Their loss is our gain.

Haydos Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 All those knocking Utd about youth players...haven't they been starting with Evans, Blackett, Januzaj, Welbeck, Fletcher etc. All youth players. You can knock them but they're one of the best in the country at bringing them through. Edit: Lingard as well.

Carlos88LCFC Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 TBH since the 92 lot the rest that have come through have been average and basically carried by better players around them. O'Shea, Brown, Welbeck, Cleverly.... I disagree. They have just let the wrong players leave. Pique, Pogba, Shawcross, Rossi... There the big ones I can think of but I'm sure there's more. Ravel Morrison would be a different player now if he worked with Fergie. His "bad man" attitude would of been slapped out of him with a footy boot to the head. Plus all the ones in our team are premiership quality that they could have sold for a lot more than they did. Matty James and Danny Drinkwater outperformed the CMs they had last season, albeit in a lower league but the standard of performance Fellani was putting out he would have struggled to secure a position at Yeovil!

Haydos Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 none of those will be starting once the Premiership restarts That wasn't really my point. "United must have a good academy but just highlights the issue with these big clubs really, would rather drop large sums on bringing players in then investing time into youngsters," It might have happened the last week or so but it doesn't "highlight the issue with these big clubs". Man City/Chelsea/PSG etc are rich, everyone knows, it doesn't need highlighting. Man Utd/Tottenham/Arsenal/Liverpool have always been happy to give youngsters a chance. The thing is it's not the time to bullshit around with youngsters with Utd in the position they are in, they need to get back on track and they need established players quickly, not to build on their academy, they clearly just don't have enough talent coming through at the moment.
