I'm genuinely interested. The cost of this must be a million plus a year. Now money isn't as much of a problem for us it's not a big deal, but why do financially damaged clubs bother?
Some may argue that we have done well with Sterling and Parrett, but we got 3 million for them, which probably only covers the last 3 years of the youth system.
I think it is totally counter productive and instead we should spend that money trying to nick Arsenal and Chelsea's youth players who have no chance of making it in their respective teams.
Last night showed how inept and lightweight our youth team are. None of them would make it into league 2 standard let alone the championship so what's the point?
Oh and on a slightly seperate note I am incredibly angry that Ephraim is considered a 'professional'. He is cack and what he offers in the occasional good cross, (his barnsley cross won't be replicated for another 3 months), and bland, obvious passes that Derry can do coupled with his weakness and fear of any tackle makes him an absolute joke. If I was an opposing player I'd laugh at him.
