Argh I got it wrong. It was Daniel Ayala, nephew to the legendary Roberto. That's the thing though, our best player from the academy was a decent squad player so it really is a stretch to suggest the likes of Sterling, Suso, Morgan and whoever else will make an instant impact in the first team. I know people have criticized Amoo but I see promise in him. He's got it all athletically speaking. He's tall, quick and has good feet.
Train ticket to London?
I can't believe I missed it as well. It's Daniel Ayala! hahahaha
I just hope the likes of Suso, Morgan, Sterling, Amoo and even Wisdom can eventually make it to the first team. Steven Gerrard is the last player to actually come through the first team and make a huge impact. There are no players like Macca, Owen, Fowler, Carra or even Matteo or David Thompson now. Thank goodness Kelly and Spearing have been featuring more and more. For some reason, I feel really happy to see alot of products playing for the first team, like Barcelona!
Yeah, I study in the UK and London is about 2.5 hours away! Still costly, though.

I'd ignore the fans column in the papers if I were you. Stick to threads where we can at least have intelligent discussions. Far as I'm concerned, the SMS column is for ranting and name calling. Very little substance at all. I've always maintained that you only talk about others when youve run out of stuff to talk about yourselves. Reality bites. Lucky we've a lot to read up on and talk about.
As for the analyst columns, they're only featured because of who they are, not because they're top notch pundits. They're opinions are as insightful as some on this forum.
I hate the SMS column of the Star. 99% of the texts are from Mancs winding others up and it's not like everyone's texts get put up there, just the annoying ones to make it a story. I remember looking at it in December and everyone was just going on about Suarez, Kenny and Liverpool being racists. Annoyed me too much that even I sent a reply, lol, and it got posted!
