Dynamite Red Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I think Del should reward some of the u21 players with a place on the bench, it would give the fans and Academy a boost, They can't be much worse than the usual crap in the senior team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBrizzleRobin Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Refreshing to see progressing being made with the academy and development squad. Just hope they can make the step up to the first team at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 So are our U21s any good? For too long, our youth set up has generated a succession of mediocre players, with the occasional exception. It's an area that needed much improvement - has this happened? 'Cos if these lads are any good, I'd say chuck 'em in the first team - remember when Lousy Pint was in charge, and we all changed "Bring on the youngsters!"? Soon as he left, we did... Perhaps we should get Benny back to find us some more gems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we should get Benny back to find us some more gems Yes it has happened there has been massive investment in the devlopment squad, City have signed 6 youngsters who have been reliesed from clubs includeing Jones from Celtic (cost celtic 400k) and Krans from Fulham, as well as securing signitures of USA born goalkeeper, a brand new coaching set up with Willie McStay as head of devlopment and Alex Russell as under 21's manager, Yet people are accusing the board of little investment and not backing the manager...........

England under 21's are good but it doesn't make the main squad good, every age group up until under 18's shouldn't be about winning thats where football in this country has lagged so far behind belgum, Spain, Germany we focus on results not on actually training technical ability, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djb6162 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 agreed.... but these guys other than those above are pros and over 21 in some cases, it is absolutely about winning PS you will find the better the technical ability, the more they win ... so i think we might be saying the same thing anyway.

Well, now, it's money spent in the right place - where you can reap a return. I've argued this all along, glad to see someone was listening How many of these lads are ready for the big boys, and - just as important - are they the right position ie places where we are totally shoot?
