Richarlison, DCL.
The majority of our yoots go on to play League One football.
We didn’t develop Richarlison and I’m meaning players from our youth set up who have made their PL debut under Silva, you could include Keane if you use your criteria. There aren’t any as far as I’m aware, but I’m happy for you to prove me wrong and name them.

Perhaps. Been here a wee bit though and zero debuts seems poor to me?
Kean doesnt start regularly thats what I never mentioned him.
I firmly believe that our entire youth system is not able to produce Premier League players.
There arent any premier league players, but im happy for you to prove me wrong and name them.
Cos they are all utter pony.
That's very harsh criteria though. The vast majority of good youth players (Kenny, Dowell, Holgate, DCL, Davies, even Baningime and Feeney) had already been given debuts before he got here. That's not really his fault. I think the only young player anyone thinks is realistically anywhere near getting a debut is Gordon, who was 17 and not even a regular in the Under 23s for most of Silva's time here.

Its like this.
You are Marco Silva, you can pick 2 players who played in a World Cup last year or a 19 year old lad yet to make his Premier League debut.
If you want to keep your job, who do you pick?

Why have you just named 2 players that left long before Silva joined?
I mean Shane Duffy is 27 years old for Gods sake.
I was responding to the claim that our youth set up does not produce premier league players. It obviously has in the past, just not recently. I'm obviously scraping the bottom of the barrel a tad. I would say our inability to produce recently is more down to the shambolic state of the club and the managerial merry go round in recent years has left us with no consistency at first team level where we can give players a decent chance, on the back of the team doing well.
And I agree fully.
Coupled with our current transfer ban I think we can forget about yoots for a short while.

Think we'll have to agree to disagree. Feel we can't properly judge unless they are given a wee go. Silva just isn't willing.
