We definitely need to start clearing a better pathway alright, it's been depressingly bad of lateNot for me.
Last night I saw a player who recognised his FB Higgins was in need of a lot of cover and he played for the team not himself. He's eager to get forward and doesn't lose the ball often. Retaining possession is half the job in the PL.
If our management dont recognise that then there's no way forward for this club. There'll be a collapse in morale if loan deals (usually with an eye to a small fee sale) prevail for every talent coming through. It needs to stop.
That in itself is a draw for young talent
The long term benefits of giving one or two young lads a run of games to prove themselves each season would be high.
