"Shinji Kagawa is one of the best players in the world and he now plays 20 minutes at Manchester United – on the left wing! My heart breaks. Really, I have tears in my eyes. Central midfield is Shinji's best role. He's an offensive midfielder with one of the best noses for goal I ever saw. But for most Japanese people it means more to play for Man United than Dortmund. We cried for 20 minutes, in each others' arms, when he left.

So true, Kagawa on the left is such a waste.

Great read, thanks for sharing

Doesn't mean you "produce" world class players with a world class youth academy.. he means world class facilities and structure for the youth academy. Which they have, just like Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City have done theirs up too.

Plus current players from the Real Madrid academy are the likes of Juan Mata - Casillias - Ramos - Esteban Granero - Raul - Guti - Roberto Soldado.
Not bad for the past say 5 years of talent. Plus there just the ones who have actually made it as of now xD

RM have a great youth academy. Juan Mata, Roberto Soldado and Javi Garcia just a few of the high profile players to have come from their youth academy. The "problem" for Madrid is that the club is too rich to make any effort to bring in youth players unless the players are good enough to fit into the team.

That's why RM sell their young players with a clause to buy them back a few years later. May happen to Carvajal from Leverkusen, played a solid season as RB and I think RM are gonna buy him back this or next offseason.

Edit on the Carvajal situation: RM has the option to buy him back for a specified amount of money until 2015

I actually forgot about that. RM do that a lot indeed and with a buy back clause it's more interesting for the feeder club than just a normal loan.

They also don't allow the player to play against them.

There are have been at least two other teams in spain that have a secondary equipment with the flag. One of them it was Valencia just one or two years ago afaik.

I think it looks pretty awesome :D This year they look like an icecream lol

Btw the Saint George flag is also on the Barça emblem ^^ Top left part.

Does that mean Manchester City will "offload" players to their US sister team, freeing up money (FFP!) AND improving their worldwide profile at the same time?

Between City and the Yankees, that's an unbelievable amount of money and a huge number of MLB championships.
