Liverpool fans are the most deluded set of fans you could come across about Roberts

The difference between their new campus and the likes of our academy, or Arsenal's, or United's, isn't going to make much (if any) difference to Roberts development though.

Having a manager and club who has a history of bringing through young players from their academy, of giving them time to develop, of not just going out and spending millions on any holes in their squad rather than promoting from within.... that's the sort of thing which would make the difference.

I agree. The chances are we didn't follow up our interest in Roberts (we've been linked with for a while now) because he would have chosen us over City imo.


How many of their fabled academy are regularly playing in their first team I wonder I believe its NONE

Oh and of course every young player in the country would rather play for a team playing in Europa league and fighting for 6th rather than for the 2 times champions in the last 4 years playing champions league football with some of the worlds greatest players.....deluded or what!!!!

At least when we were crap we knew it
I know we've not brought any really high quality/world class players through our Academy. But even so the last one Liverpool did was Michael Owen and that was fucking ages ago now (late 90s).
 
I really hope we nurture him correctly because he is one of the few English attacking players in the England youth ranks that when I have watched I thought he could be really special.
