You for real? Every youngster we sign or comes through the academy we never see. We will sign this lad send him out on loan and he will never break through to the first team he will just get released.
Look at the way kennedy has been handled, bags of talent and played really well in the first team last year but he is nowhere to be seen. Pointless signing again i expect.

Completely agree. So another odd one if he's going straight to the Development squad as they go nowhere with us after that. There is talent across the age groups throughout our Academy but the chances of them progressing from the Dev Squad to first team is next to zero at the moment and I don't see it changing anytime soon. The majority of our talent will be loaned, go to other teams or simply drop out of the system. As it is, apart from purely developing players, sadly, there seems little point in having an Academy except the fact that you are required to have it. And because it is dysfunctional in its present state, our Academy is not a first choice of where local talent wants to play anymore.

If we do sign him, I think we all know the answer to that one
