Eames
Is that the Academy that won the Next Gen series - beating Barcelona's?
Yep. Average that.
Not great logic though really, are you suggesting that because we beat them in a one off game our academy is up there with the likes of Barcelona?
Guardiola, Thiago, Xavi, Iniesta, Sergio Busquettes, Messi, Alaba, Montoya.
VS
Agboblahor, Cahill (our only top class graduate), Craig Gardner, Moore Brothers, Albrighton, Bannan, Weimann, Carruthers, Clarke.
It's a bit of a myth is our academy, we do produce players who go on to have premier league careers no doubt, but very few that would actually be seen as a good signing if they were to come from another club.
Although I, like most others expect big things from Grealish.
