10 March 2011 14:30
Crewe hope to resurrect plans to sign a defender on loan from Manchester City. Alex boss Dario Gradi has been in talks with City coach David Platt, who came through the youth system at Gresty Road under Gradi, about borrowing one of the Premier League club`s young prospects. "David Platt has said he will keep us updated, so that could still happen for us," said Gradi. Meanwhile, Crewe academy trio Nick Powell, Max Clayton and Ben Garratt have been called up to the England Under-17 squad to face Belgium next month.
