Academy Pathway to the First Team

Last night a couple could have been on the bench,no reason not to.THB could have played instead of Garcia.One could have been on the bench against Burnley too.
The Marseille game is what im referring to for starts.

You havent outlined any progression.
I know we all hate Garcia now, but the fact is he's both better than THB is right now and much more experienced. Guardiola is always going to pick him over THB in a game that means anything.

More experienced yes,but i don't agree he is any better.

And what sort of a message does it send to others in the academy when a player who wants to play for another team is chosen ahead of them?

Let’s be fair, Garcia has been picked for Spain and is wanted by Barcelona. THB has not played for England U21 yet and done argue that his centre half partner in the youth team is better than him but you are arguing he is superior than Garcia. I’d love you to be right but doubt you are.

I didn't say/argue he was superior.
 
True , but we are entitled to be disappointed even infuriated when a very good young player decides to turn his back on our club to make a few quid , Daniel Sturridge was possibly the most disappointing he was the big new hope from the youth team and couldnt wait to sign for Chelsea when he turned 18.
To be fair to him, Ched Evans was getting game time ahead of him at times.
 
Difficult to judge players unless they are getting game time again top quality opposition. Obviously we want to see ambitious youth given a chance rather than players who seem to lack motivation
