Since 2010? Enough said.

John ,Harris,Ralls have come through our development


We bought Harris from Wycombe when he was 18 I seem to remember so wrong again?

How old is he now? Haven't we developed him in the dvp ? Think about it and Ralls and John hmmmm so not wrong just c8z we didn't have them as a school boy doesn't mean we haven't developed them ffs

Joe Ralls was 15 when we signed him


Joe Ralls was 17 when he signed for us.

They are Ok but none of them are in the same class as Ramsey, Ledley, Collins etc. We probably didn't realise at the time what a golden period this was. What a side we would have had if we had been able to hang on to them all at the same time.

Harris signed from Wycombe :thumbright:

We hardly developed him when we paid a fee for him at 18. He had been playing for Wycombe since he was 16. They developed him. He was just a young signing for us. I believe you're wrong about Ralls age as well as the other posters have said.
