Optimistic Nut Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 That's promising. Hopefully in 2-3 years time our older Academy sides are finally competing with those clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Chelsea pinch one of our England youth players not long ago so I’m particularly salty about the potential for the Cartel clubs to come mooching around trying to disrupt us when their hegemony at youth team / U23s gets threatened.

Optimistic Nut Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 2 hours ago, joeyt said: Still maintain that it's absolutely grim "buying" children for football clubs I get the sentiment, but if you're a 12 year old kid and Barnsley is your local club you go there, it's not like that area is abundant with big clubs with great academies. Does that mean that kid gets disadvantaged because he can't go and have the facilities of one of the big clubs, and should Barnsley then not be entitled to some form of compensation/transfer fee for the development of that kid up to that point?
