I mentioned Sam Tickle and the England Under-21 squad.
An incredible 10 members of Lee Carsley's squad are either at Manchester City, on loan from them or, in the cases of James Trafford, Cole Palmer, Sam Edozie and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, started their careers there.
Palmer, Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Tommy Doyle have moved clubs today.
City's youth set-up is now paying rich dividends.
