Guest MattP Posted 28 May 2013 Share Posted 28 May 2013 Stearman, Mattock, Grady, Gradel, Oakes, Sheehan, Petrescu, Heskey, Weslowski(sp?) , Dawson, Gradel, Logan, King, Sheehan .... they've all come through the Youth Squad and played at Championship level and above. Alright the standard has improved and a lot wouldn't orvaren't playing now but I don't think we have the worlds worst academy setup. Not a single career Premier League player in the bunch then apart from Emile? That is not good for a club that has the aspirations that ours does. And you can't really count Petrescu as Championship level when his only game was a 10 minute cameo and he hasn't even been capped by a nation like Finland.

Petrescu scored the only goal in a 1-0 win for Tamere against Levski Sofia in the Champions League SOURCE : Wikipedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 29 May 2013 Share Posted 29 May 2013 Forgot to add, the current squad has a few academy players in - Schlupp, Moore, King, Logan, Panayiotou, Hooper, Smith, Taft. Most are back up or young but at least they are being given a chance in and around the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
