at least 15 players i meant.... but yeah has been a few young kids over the last few years who were branded  the next player to break through but never did

Michael Golding is a PSR fiddle very exciting prospect for the future.

Absolutely wild to me that Ashley Chambers is 34.

 

Edit: sorry, that's the thought that popped in to my head unfiltered when I saw this thread title. When I realised it was another moan about our transfer business I just posted it anyway. Have a nice day.

This is a bigger question about our apparent inability as a club to develop talent. Seagrave has all the infrastructure but do we have the coaching ability. I feel we wait too long to blood talent. Nelson should have stayed and been utilized. We need to have players out there earlier or gone. This is not an isolated view I have been to;d by youngsters who have left and their parents that coaching frailties is an issue that drives them away. This inability drives us to invest in ageing or someone else’s developments often over priced and over rated. Fatawu has talent but is not being improved I feel the same will be the case with Bilal. I can tolerate the poor performances if there is hope. Let’s be honest there is no future beyond a season in Ayew, Eduard, Vestergaard etc. Daka is a good example of we never had an ability to improve him. I feel it’s systemic as we have suffered this under multiple managers/coaches.

Still waiting for Fernando Pasquinelli to make his debut

[Finnegan]

Pier Laraurri is 30.

 

He plays in the Romanian second division. 

 

[Finnegan]

Wow. 

 

Tell you who else is 34. @Miquel The Work Geordie barnet idol, Astrit Ardjevic. 

 

Astrit has had a creditable career. Standard Liege, AEK Athens, DIF and an Albanian cap. 

 

Currently a free agent after his Swedish second division club went bankrupt. 

 

And foxestalk thinks we don't find the best young gems for the future. 

 

LCFC, academy of Europe. 

 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Astrit was gorgeous wasn't he man, he basically looked like Jennifer Aniston, simply the best hair to ever grace the shirt

 

[Lambert09]

it’s still a travesty that we didn’t keep hold of max gradel 

[StanSP]

Leon Crncic is also only 34.

Ashley Lyth 

 

17y/o who we signed in 2001 for £150,000 potentially rising to £250,000 depending on appearances from Scarborough. Not exactly chump change back then.

Apparently ended up back at Scarborough before disappearing into the ether.

Really yet more signs of the utter failure of the football operations side of the club. Wonder which useless tosser has been running that show for so long. Hes absolutely rotten to the core and needs to go. Nothing at this club is well run but the football side currently is an abomination. 

[jesussuperstar]

George Thomas was a complete mystery who was highly thought of a few years back

[pmcla26]

I mean, few comments about failures, but not being funny, how many clubs outside the top 6 have produced 5 Premier League players in the last 7/8 years? 
 

Barnes, Choudhury, KDH, Thomas, McAteer… Stolarczyk and Nelson also looking good prospects, with the enigmas of Alves and Braybrooke, too. 
 

Might not be elite level/world class players, but they’ve had/will have better careers than most academy players. I’d say we have a pretty decent hit rate for a club our size. 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

I surely wasn't the only one who thought "wow this guy has it all, it would be easier to list what he can't do than what he can!" when Jon Stevenson came through
