Thread title : bad. Uninformative.

So you have to go into the thread to check it out.
Some of us would appreciate proper keywords in the title. It is bad enough not having a life and spendings hours on here without going into threads that are potentially uninteresting.

This.

*shrugs*

Not having a life and spending hours on here always ends up with you going onto threads that you usually wouldn't anyway, when you've read everything else and there are no updates.

Everton have even begun sending coaches into primary schools.
Once that the problem that Dave Jones once had?






... tasteless and unnecessary, I know.

Friends of my mum have a child who trains with Chelsea and they are wanting to sign him up to their Academy but he wants to continue playing with his school mates in the junior team he plays for each week which Chelsea won't allow so they have said no to them.

They are QPR supporters and they are now keen to sign him so I guess that will test their resolve.

Haven't Liverpool just waltzed into QPR and taken one of their young talents.  According to radio 5 yesterday he was to be in their squad last night.  He's only 16.

Chelsea will probably do the same, let QPR nurture him and as soon as he's ready they'll nab him.

But how many times on here have we denigrated the state of English football, and our player's relative technique, and then elevated the status of Ajax, Barcelona, and various other overseas team's academies as examples of how we should be running something similar?

if a kid at say Barnet is top notch then surely it is in his, England's, and the game's interests to see him at one of the top clubs as soon as possible?
