Youth Induction from 2012-2015

Recommended Posts

So many circumstances at play to have denied oppertunities. For me the biggest obstacle has been the poor quality of football for over 18's. Loans only work rarely and reserves is poor, so many players between the ages of 18 and 20 lose their way and end up leaving having not fulfilled their potential. A stable manager may have helped, but not by much.

What is your thoughts on the new U-21 league and other changes they have made? Is it competitive enough to bypass loaning players?

Only time will tell on that one i am afraid. The NextGen series should be great, but it is the older players that are of more concern so the U21's. IF it is a large enough league to allow for a game a week, and IF all the team experiment rather than use loans then it will be very good. Also will there be relegations and promotions to promote competition? All the best U21's competing week in week out will be a very useful platform to first team football.

Like i said, time will tell. I hope it will be a huge improvement.

The official website posted this article on the new youth league system in the PL. It targets the development gap in the 18-21 by removing the reserve system (which was optional) and replacing it with a mandatory, 4-tiered league consisting of a U-21 team. The match schedules are also designed to follow the first team (games on the weekend...maximizes training time with the first team), and depending on the fixture, will be played a Staines Town, Brentford FC's Griffin Park, and at least two matches a year at the Bridge. http://www.chelseafc...2826147,00.html

good read.

I can't see Bruma ever making it here. The amount of mistakes he's made in games for Hamburg is terrifying. Odd though, as he was superb when out on loan at Leicester City.

Really? i was always under the impression it was the other way around with Bruma? I know Leicester fans gave him a good bashing when he was there.
