Look at Man City and Liverpool.

How many players have come through their academies the last few years? These are the biggest clubs in the league with huge reach and im sure im missing somebody, but I make it 1 each in Foden and TAA.

I think people expect too much from youth set ups.

Everybody points at the United team, but thats a rare, rare exception.

I know Arsenal are doing ok with theirs atm, but these things are quite rare.

Yeah but you don’t believe in the system full stop mate

If it were up to you we probably wouldn’t even have a youth team
 

As a side note - I find it interesting how the managers at top flight clubs - our own, Villa's, Crystal Palace's etc tend to be managers of high profile/who were top quality players. Why aren't mediocre ex players getting top jobs anymore? Eh, eh, eh?!
Apropos nothing at all there are a load of ex Palace players under Vieira at Palace. A first team coach, U23 & U18 managers all former first team players.
