Anderz 0 Posted December 8, 2004 Just a quick query to ask if anyone heard anything about this? Apparently we''ve signed "promising" 16 year old Asmat El Ouargui from Hvidovre on a season and a half year scholarship deal, subject to International clearance, with no transfer fee involved (according to pg517 on Teletext (ITV)). Theres a quote from Ricky Martin saying "its an exciting time for him (Asmat) and ourselves (City)". I''ve never heard of Hvidovre or El Ouargui but surely this must be a positive step forward? What hope of more International youth players arriving at City in the near future? I think it does demonstrate two things though: firstly, we are not afraid to look abroad for players and that secondly, we''re looking to safeguard out future by looking at young players now. Perhaps we''re looking at an Arsenal-type scenario with Danish/Swedish players rather than French ones...?!? Any views/comments? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
