From what I have seen of our young lads there is no one to step up to the plate, not good enough

How many do you see play regular??

I watched Rooney have some mates at youth level

I am down at finch farm on a regular basis, plus what I have seen with recent pre season displays, can’t see anyone who stands out

People forget Moyes gave players like Baxter a run out at 16.. Vaughan .. now people think 20 is still a kid with time to develop. If you’re not in the first team squad at 20 pack your bags. We’re about to buy a 19 year old for £35m and people think Broadhead has a chance after a nice pre season..

Moyes handing out debuts was largely because of the financial restrictions the club was under. Given money to spend it would have been a very different story given his safety first pragmatism.

I’m not sure the RS are a fair comparison. They seem to take youth that are average in youth football and throw them in to some success... heard from a few of the youth thread locals how many of ours outperform theirs but they seem more inclined to developing first team players as opposed to just having success within underage football... I wouldn’t know.. just what I’ve read

And then sell them for £20m to Bournemouth
