Leeds Fox Posted 4 March 2020 Share Posted 4 March 2020 5 hours ago, st albans fox said: Seriously - a club of our size should have someone in the 17/20 age group pushing the first team squad. Perhaps KDH would be that player if he wasn’t on loan. Are there any others ?? i’m proud that we have three academy grads in the first tram squad but given our profile, it’s essential that we develop through our academy rather than buying talent in ...... arsenal have plenty of kids in their first team squad. Spurs have introduced tanganga this season and we will see parott playing soon ....yanited have a few kids playing We can’t expect to always have these youngsters coming through though. When we hit a patch when they aren’t, we do seem to try and bring in 16-18 year olds who we can develop and bring through. Again, spotting that talent/potential first or before they become hot property is also difficult and is always based on risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weller54 Posted 4 March 2020 Share Posted 4 March 2020 Draw..2-2. They're on a long unbeaten run and that breeds confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give me some examples of when we have brought through 16-18 year olds? We have brought through Luke Thomas and that's it in 12 months, it is absolutely astonishing.

Big questions remain about any of these three; are they going to be PL players? Chilwell at 23 and been in the first team squad for years is proving he isn’t. Tbf the other two are relatively new to the first team and do have time to step up their game. Edited 4 March 2020 by NotTheMarketLeader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
