Sold to Brentford it seems. Another kid goes without getting a chance. It continues....is our fabled 'youth policy' a myth?
Was he good enough to hold down a place in the first team squad?Sold to Brentford it seems. Another kid goes without getting a chance. It continues....is our fabled 'youth policy' a myth?

This was the point I was making although it probably didn't come across well tbh. He wasn't one of our top talents in his age group and we'll be hard pressed just to give the top lads a chance in each group without causing problems at senior level.On the wind up I see! Joe is a great lad and a good footballer.I wish him the very best but as he wasn't even a regular at 18's level I somehow doubt he was destined to be a City first teamer. Never ever let City down when he played and scored regularly even if coming on as a sub.
Yep, decent lad who'll do well for himself but not an earthly of displacing those around him now let alone getting a shot at the 1st team. Yet another bollocks thread about the kids 'not getting a chance' with absolutely nothing to back it up.This was the point I was making although it probably didn't come across well tbh.

Best of luck to the lad and hopefully he makes a great career out of it. Brentford isn't a bad club for a talented lad his age coming through.
I've no idea. Was 18 and seemed promising but I suppose as soon as they're sold they 'were never good enough'. Who next?
