B1872 21,931 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I’d be happy with Ferguson and spend the rest of the budget on a goalscoring right winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxi 12,206 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Mail are saying that we're trying to sign a 16 year old wonderkid from Blackpool. Striker called Tony Weston, already featured for their first team. He can sign a professional contract in Scotland a year earlier than in England.

He might be a good prospect and might make good sense getting this lad tied down for the future - but that's 2 players like this we've signed in a week (3 when the boy same age from Ross County signs) I think Mulholland and Murty is doing great work. It's the best we've been run at that level in decades, but is it all for nothing when we're signing these kids? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Mcrorrie is the only kinda regular the current academy has produced, no disrespect but it’s not as if we couldn’t go sign a player of that level from somewhere, I don’t see muholland & Murty at the helm of the academy a success story at all , ultimately their job is to produce first team players , taking some games in , Mcpake has always been the stand looking as though he could step up yet although very young he struggled at Dundee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's perfectly legitimate to measure how good a job they are actually doing by how many first team ready player emmerge from their set-up. Their European results, and winning their domestic league a year ago is all good and well, but ultimately we need first team players or what's the point.

VanVeenRangers 2,707 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I have heard of Weston at Blackpool. I'm pleased we are starting to sign kids with quality. Before we didn't scout anyone, with the nonsense that was running our club. It's refreshing. Not every player will make it. However, we are starting to gather what seems is a quality amount of players in the youth set up. We could see some move closer to the first team under Gerrard.

Ross-Gazza genius 2,053 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 It's a daunting situation for our youths breaking through as they need to have a thick skin and not let the pressure get to them. Ross McCrorie has coped well with it and I thought Bates done well enough, however you can see from Middleton when he burst onto the scene everyone thought he was going to be a star but our fans quickly got on his back and it's knocked his confidence even though he's a stand out for our youths. A lot of our youths leave and end up doing well at lesser pressured clubs and that's why we don't get many youths breaking through as we are not patient with them and expect a finished article straight away.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Our academy is producing players that can compete with the best in Europe at that level. Surely the whole concept behind the academy is to produce players that can be promoted to the first team squad. I can't explain why but that's where we fall down. Other clubs in other countries seem to manage it with ease. There is a missing piece that I cannot put my finger on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 37,626 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 There’s a difference between producing players with the ability to be in the first team, versus actually giving them a chance. I don’t doubt there’s players good enough, but we’re not giving them a shot. Pressure and signing high paid dross puts paid to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
