Who gives a single fuck what that snake mandlecunt has to say about... Anything.

Wakey wakey guys

What's hilarious is they've done this outside a German supermarket and I'm pretty sure bnm is based out of jersey, which is well known for its contribution to the UK economy... O wait.

I'm 99.9% sure everyone at the club cares about the academy as much as we do, it's not about whether they can do a better job, the lowers leagues have a much more vested interest in production of youth players than the premier league clubs do, it's just harder than ever to make sound decisions.

Righto. Best of luck with that.

Why? I mean sure I want him to succeed too, but to say you want a young player to rot on the bench of a premier league club rather than play week in/out for a lower league club, isn't in his interests at all, so I ask you friend, who exactly do you care about here?

Not suggesting it's what I want. Unfortunately it's the truth.

Orford will never play for the west ham first team and our midfield is not low-mid. Not after the last window anyway. Like every other team in the prem, of which NONE, have produced a 100Million midfielder, and I include the top 6 in that too.

How could you possibly disagree with that? Even with parachute payments the likelyhood of any championship team even staying in the prem is becoming more and more unlikely. So whether you disagree or not, that's a fact.

Same.

Yup.

Nope.

Nope.

Yes, but not for the reasons you've outlined.

Oh my sweet summer child.

All you spout is lazy wisdom, go and have a look at how many academy players are on the bench/starting 11 for the other 14 clubs in the premier league and then make an actual point.

But a few do, look at Josh Cullen at Burnley for example. But yeah in summary, academys aren't set up to do the same job they were 20 years ago or even 10 years ago, the step up has never been so hard.
