It's quite interesting that despite our academy being seemingly terrible for years, we could end up with a first team squad containing Longstaff, Anderson and Miley.  Obviously there's a long way to go with Anderson and Miley, but it would be a surprise if they didn't end up having good (and potentially very good) careers in the PL.

The Academy had a seachange in philosphy, moving away from training athletes into footballers, around 10-12 years ago. Moving away from the likes of Andy Mogwo's and instead looking to improve the already technically good players. Not say that's what we're seeing now, but hey. Maybe.

And Longstaff would probably be even better than he is if it wasn't for Steve Bruce.

 

Not to mention shortstaff. He was considered to be the better prospect of the two but the bacon chasing fuckwit destroyed any possible chance of that happening.
