Mullet Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-city-oldham-athletic-agreement-2904614 Looks like we're going to form formal bonds with Citeh. I wonder how this morning's events will affect that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAFC_Ryan Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Have we had a decent player from theirs yet? Rusnak is supposed to be a superstar and he's terrible. No thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he :censored: terrible. Had a terrible attitude. He showed from his brief cameos he has plenty of talent, eclipsing Scapuzzi, Mancini, Wabara and Bunn.

If we have a squad full of players like him we would struggle to compete in the Conference North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Quite disappointed in Plummer myself. Mellor should feel pretty hard done by having lost his place to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Heck C-Beck Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Personally think it could be a good thing getting a group of loan players from one team who already know each other. Would work out better if they all came at once though during preseason on season long loans. Of course this would all depend on the players actually being any good, City must have some decent up and coming players for our level.

disjointed Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Going down this road could mean our team being loan signings not "our own". Sound familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_Fent Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) From a Latics point of view it could be a good, thing but it could be potentially disaterous From the point of view of the game as a whole I don't like the way clubs like City have developed a ridiculous stockpile of talent which in my opinion is ruining the game and I believe is part of the reason why our National team is struggling to bring players through because young players would rather take the money and play in these EDS squads at a big club than establish themselves playing first team Football. I want to see a fair competition, if these super rich clubs are loaning all their players out, then my fear is that it would defeat the object of the remaining 85 or so clubs developing their own players. The last thing we want to see is the super rich clubs having a hold on the sport in general. If they set up affiliate clubs in the lower leagues, it could make things a little bit healthier, but I want to see a level playing field.

Mullet Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 I would much rather we took their lads into our academy and developed them as our own players than having potential disruptive, and generally poor untested loanee's. I like the idea of a linked academy, if that's any sort of possibility. However that could make us vulnerable to losing our best talent.

If they just loan them to a few select clubs, it could make things a bit healthier Independent academies followed by a draft..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs synic Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 we can get rid of our academy, no point !! city can then pick our team, they could decimate us by withdrawing them all in one go if we didn.t pick who they wanted, so its better to keep some form of control of our own fate, its mainly to their benefit not ours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Anyway...let's suppose it's the God's honest. I think Aguero has a lot to learn from the likes of Rooney and Charlie Mac, particularly in the area of tattoos. Joe Hart's hair...he tries, but if he could get up close for some product and style tips from Oxley, he can only improve. It goes on. Does anyone remember when L***s took a 9% stake of Oldham in their Publicity Pete days? Did anything come of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
