pablo - just interested to know how you can make the assessment above. Do you work around the squad, not being funny??

Steven Davies did well when he was chucked in at the deep end, can't think of too many others who have.

no, i dont work around the squad (i live in devon these days)...

my views are merely my opinion based on watching a lot of youth football over the years, and having a bit of "knowledge" about the current set up...

Some good points Pablo, interesting hear about the Ben Petty comments. Imagine if we produced a two footed Paul Merson!

I don't think anyone would advocate throwing all the kids in at once, however having Licaj instead of Beye, Cahill instead of Knight, and the fonz instead of Heskey should free up sufficient transfer money and wages to buy more players like Bent.

That's how I hope it pans out anyway.
