Wasn't he supposed to be decent?

Good move for the lad, it's going to be so hard for any of these youth players to break into our first team.

Two years there and he'll be at Southampton.

Exactly how it should be at a club with our expectations.

He can be very decent,but he is also very inconsistent,and i believe that may be down to attitude.

All the more for our pot!

Especially when they cock up their loan spells.

I agree, this is what really pisses me off about the way our academy is perceived. I have had this debate with a rag I know on a number of occasions as he claims the academy is a white elephant.
The fact is if we were a mid table premier league team with a tight budget then these kids would be getting their chance, the trouble is the quality of player in front of them is a much higher standard. If we get one first team player coming through from the academy every 5 years we will have done well. In the meantime the money we have generated by selling on young prospects all goes to make the club self financing.
