Tendai Zhanje 30 May 2011 A GROUP of Zimbabweans in the United States will tomorrow launch an initiative that may raise up to US$120 million a year for investment in their mother country, which they hope will not only recapitalise the economy but also provide possible funding for a more transparent indigenisation programme. This is to be launched at a conference organised by the Zimbabwe Business Network International (ZBNI), which begins tomorrow.

Former Manchester City youngster Javan Vidal has stated that he had to leave Eastlands because of his need for regular first-team football.

The 22-year-old defender, who is now available on a free transfer, made just one appearance for City in the League Cup, but impressed when on loan at Derby, Aberdeen, Grimsby and Chesterfield.

Vidal admitted to skysports.com:  “It’s a massive club and I’ve been there since I was nine or 10, but I’ve got to the stage where I need to be playing regular first-team football and it is hard to be promised that at a club like Manchester City.
 
“I wouldn’t say that anything is impossible and a bit of luck can go a long way, with injuries helping youngsters break through.

“Once that chance comes your way it is up to you to impress and keep your place in the side, but getting that opportunity in the first place is difficult.

“The level of football has been raised with all the financial backing and the quality of players they bring in every year, so it is hard, but it isn’t impossible to break through there.”

Vidal has been capped by England Under-19s and Under-20s, and graduated from Manchester City’s academy.
