A form of false economy though. Every single sport in existence has a huge mental element, mentality is often the difference between winning and losing rather than skill. A less experienced player trying to prove himself will often do better than a 'better' player who has less motivation.with the money coming into the league next season i think it will be very difficult for any team - including newly promoted teams - to get to take on academy players to further develop.
everyone in the league will be able to afford at least a 10m-15m finished article i reckon.

You only have to look at this season as a perfect example.
Aye, all the most dominant teams currently (and probably in the past) have all had homegrown players in the team, i'd actually suggest not only is it possible to succeed with them, it's almost essential for long term success. They bring something extra, that you can't buy.It's bollocks that teams can't use kids & it's been proven wrong over & over again year in year out yet people keep repeating it.
It will be proven wrong again next season. Be nice if it was us for a change.
I hope we have a good look at Jack.
Whats your gut feeling pal? mine is he wont get a look in here,and that wont be based purely on his ability.Another player well on his way to an excellent career in football. Lovely. Fingers crossed he gets his chance to impress preseason. The guy's got an incredible attitude to his development.
