i agree cb and i would assume that is a direction we are looking at taking for the long term "plan"...
a few examples in recent years, arsenio halfhuid (didnt work out), juan jose serrano de la cruz vidal, (looks good so far), benjamin siegrist (looks a fantastic prospect), daniel johnson (is progressing a lot quicker than i thought he would), etc, etc, etc...
and then the likes of callum robinson, jack grealish, jordan graham, etc, coming direct from the academy, etc...
the academy is going to be vital to our future...
