toontownman Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Another loss today. Shit from bottom to top at this club atm. Don't remember a time in the past 20 year our academy and reserve sides were anything other than shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 You worked at the academy didn’t you? Any reason why? Poor facilities? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Just thinking about our most notable Academy graduates... they've all been injury prone. Andy Carroll Paul Dummett Steven Taylor Shola Ameobi (played through crippling hip injury) Would it be fair to say James Tavernier is our most successful active Academy product? How is his injury record since leaving the club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Surely the FA or someone should make it so a club can only be affiliate to a junior club within a certain radius? Think this stinks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Manchester United managed to take Shola Shoretire from under our noses. They took him directly from the academy, by giving his dad a 'job' so they'd move to Manchester. And it was Man City.

Guest Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I know clubs take certain players from different regions (Carrick to West Ham for instance) and clubs might have scouts dotted about at grassroots level, but to be affiliated with clubs outside the area seems a bit off to me.

It’s really pissed me off tbh and I haven’t been this annoyed since Rafa left. It’s like they’re not content with having scouts everywhere else, and having every other advantage they want to take our only real chance of producing our own talent. But then our club and our academy has been a shambles for so long I can’t really blame them. If the takeover happens I hope they address this and even start setting up satellite clubs near Chelsea to see how they like it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
