Found this browsing the web. First it shows the top teams in the world for producing youngsters, then it shows the same but in England. The mighty Bluebirds above the likes of West Brom, Fulham, Wigan and QPR all of which are Premier League teams.
Do you think we should be higher or does this surprise you?

To be honest I'd like to see us a lot higher, I think we SHOULD be a top 15 academy, given our aspirations and our current position ie 21st in the whole of the league. All things aside about the stupid rebrand, I'd be surprised if the Malaysians don't work on improving our academy status over the next few years. That said, I don't think the academy has done that badly since its inception and considering the way the Riddler starved it of resources It's done quite well!

Yeah considering how our academy had been non-existent in the Jones era I am surprised we are this high. We will definitely be a few places higher within the next 2-3 years no doubt.
