It does seem like an entire promising generation of academy players have now been moved on.
Carroll
Alex Pritchard
Andros Townsend
Jake Livermore
Steven Caulker
Ryan Mason
Nabil Bentaleb
Thought at least one of them would have made it.
Pretty sure Bentaleb is still a Spurs player .Carroll
Alex Pritchard
Andros Townsend
Jake Livermore
Steven Caulker
Ryan Mason
Nabil Bentaleb
Thought at least one of them would have made it.
In all fairness they have all made it, just not quite good enough for us right now.
10 years ago i'm sure most of these would have been first team regulars , but not now in the wonderful time for our football club.

Kane is the only first teamer to have come through the academy who appears to have a bright future. I do wonder if Poch is as committed to bring through young players as the hype would have you believe or is happy to do it when he doesn't have the transfer funds to immediately buy first teamers.

Not sure you can include Alli - he practically went straight into your first team.
He was thrown into the deep-end because we had a lot of injuries when he first signed. Bentaleb and Dembele got injured by week 4, then Mason, Carroll and Pritchard were all injured and so Alli was probably 3rd of 4th choice but by week 6 he was starting. He took his opportunity but I don't think when he was signed that anyone thought he would starting games, let alone making the position his own, in the first season. Without those injuries, we might have still be slowly introducing him still this season.anniesdad said:

We've got a world class midfielder for free as well as the Prems leading goalscorer on a free. We're ok at this business you know, Levy could learn something 
I am sure it comes as no surprise to see that Chelsea are way out in front in the table of worst divers for the past 3 seasons having cheated over 50% more than the next cheatiest team

Can't see Edwards playing much, he's just not going to physically hack it.

Can't see Omanah having a long term future and I wouldn't be confident that Winks will be around for the long term.
Kane is the only first teamer to have come through the academy who appears to have a bright future. I do wonder if Poch is as committed to bring through young players as the hype would have you believe or is happy to do it when he doesn't have the transfer funds to immediately buy first teamers.
Winks will be a mainstay of the future. Seen nothing to suppose Onomah wil make it but then I don't watch him in training sessions though.Kane is the only first teamer to have come through the academy who appears to have a bright future.

I think he'd rather have young players that have been trained and brought up into his way of thinking, playing and culture; and that feel part of the club, than buying in "stars" and their egos.Kane is the only first teamer to have come through the academy who appears to have a bright future.

Its a strange argument fittster is trying to have and hes picked probably the worst club he could to have it.
