    What do you mean? Is Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan is planning to buy Balmain to play soccer in the EPL?

        Balmain will make the top 5 this year - just like Manchester City will.

            Is there any truth to the rumour that Balmain payed its under 18's last season?

              If there was money on offer to under 18s, there'd have been a flood of defections from other clubs. But there wasn't.

                But if the rumour is true, let me know. What is the going rate for Agents these days? I have got a few on my books...Show us the Money !

                If money was spent on the Balmain 18's last year, it was probably far better spent than the money on their senior sides.

                  Is there really not money for 18s anymore!? Back when I was U18 I know many blokes that got a little coin on the side. I got offered cash to play for a club when I was 17 (it was a tiny amount & I didn't take it cos I'd grown up with another club).

                      Haha... we are talking a poultry one-off figure to sign with a club.

                      I was more trying to put light on the current situation. Is it really truly so that clubs don't offer decent U18 players an incentive to sign with them? Surely they do........

                        If they play seniors then you should be paying u18s but that should be the only carrot given to them.
                        See me run a marathon again as a leprechaun?
