Exactly that. If we find 1 prem-quality youngster a year, it's good going - the idea that the whole youth team are destined for the top is so silly.

Rob Street has gone on loan to Newport and Dreher has also gone on loan although I am not sure where.
One more point |

Bromley Obviously doesn’t travel well. He is probably closer now to Palace’s training ground than Selhurst. Always rated him as a player but injuries have plagued his progress. If he is still only playing at this level now then not sure he is going to make it at top level. Could be a late developer but not many of them now.

Jack Roles has left no mention if he has a club so probably not. Sounds like we are having a clear out.

Yep, the machine is starting to work. We are obviously lightyears away from the very best academies, but we'll get there.

While we can hope that the conveyor belt will ultimately turn out 1 or even 2 first team players a year and all0w us to enjoy some U18 and U23 success (in a few seasons, oh impatient ones!), selling/lending those who reach 23 but do not make the first team to teams lower down the ladder and/or overseas is also good business. It pays for the young kids coming up from the bottom.

I would guess the amount that will make it into league football is less 10%
