Academy players leaving

[Anonymous]

It makes me sad to see lots of our youth players leaving, just some examples are onuoha, mee, clayton, chantler, trippier, weiss probably, sturridge, ibrahim probably, just to name a few, most were part of the youth cup winning side, but most were not given a chance in my opinion I reckon trippier would have been a great squad player top have like wise with weiss and clayton.

Maybe they are not good enough, but how can we ever find out if there not given a chance, there seems to be alot of city youth leaving the club atm a lot of them english as well. In addition scrapping the reserve side was the worst mistake ever, players like suarez barely ever play now

hopefully with the new investment we will start to see more youth players in the first team fighting for places.

As in your post as you say their not good enough apart from Sturridge and the less said about him the better.

Would of gotten in our team 10 years ago not now though all bar Sturridge...... Only Micah has stepped his game up from the academy...

I'll reserve judgement until I see some of these players playing at the highest level.

Sad, but that's where we are. If they're not good enough you have to get rid.

A lot more will follow in the near future too - McGivern, Cunningham, Tse, Smith, Helan, Robinson, Elabdellaoui, Benali, Veseli, Nimely, Razak Nuhu... none of these have any sort of future at the club, most are now over 20 or nearly 20, and not even close to the first team. More than likely more highly regarded players of recent academy history like Weiss, Boyata, and Wabara have very little chance either. Bunn and Roman maybe have some chance but I'm not crossing my fingers. Guidetti, Abu, and Razak are the only ones who look to have a better than 50% chance at this stage out of dozens in the 19-22 age group who have been in the academy.

The U18s look promising but we say that about any generation, it really is impossible to tell until they start going out on loan at senior level. It seems that Suarez and Rekik, who we bought into the academy, are the most well thought of given their early promotion to first team training.

good post, hoping bunn gets a chance, but I doubt it, we rarely seem to play youth players for more than five minutes in the europa league now, they need to be given full games in the carling cup perhaps

The fact that they end up at lower league clubs tells you something about their talent. Good at 18 doesn't translate to Premiership quality or in a lot of cases Championship level

Bobby gave boyata games last season no? Then why dont you think he could do the same for the other promising players. Sure we have a multitude of talent in our squad but with financial fairplay approaching, we have to rely on our youth to come through and we will only know if we give them a chance. Guidetti, abu, suarez, razak, wabara and bunn are only really young players. I think bobby will definitely keep them for a few more years and see how they come through. I dont think we will need alot of talent now. Gudietti is only 19 and he can definitely be a fourth striker. I think the others should go on a season-long loan and show how good they can be. Bobby has an eye for talent and Im sure we can trust him to make the right decision regarding our young players. Im not at all worried about this<br /><br />-- Thu Jan 19, 2012 11:47 pm --<br /><br />

Plus you have to understand. Will kolo getting older as are barry and lescott, we will surely need at least one good youth player for our defense coming through. Our older players wont be able to play at the same level for the next three years and thats when these kids would be 21 or 22 and they could play a part in our squad.

Razak has the biggest chance of making it simply because he has the most experience out of the rest of them. Razak isn't leaving us as he signed a 2 year deal BUT Roman's contract runs out at the end of the season!
