Platini has put them up to it.

About time some clubs started standing up to the "big boys", Bradford City seem to take great delight in providing 13 and 14 year olds to "big" clubs, rather than trying to keep hold and develop them so they are of some benefit to us.

That you can't!!

At least Moyes is taking a look at him first before bringing him in though. Just have to wait and see now.

Didn't Fabian Delph move from the Bantams to Leeds United when he was about 13 years old?

Even more ridiculous than that - he was 11.

To be honest we did OK out of him, we made about £600k and he is vastly overrated IMO, but in the last season or two we've also lost players to Middlesbrough, Liverpool and both Manchester clubs - there is a chance we might make something from them in the long run, but it's just as likely they'll get chewed up and spat out of the big Premiership academies without amounting to anything.
