Interesting thoughts there Steve98.I'll happily admit to buying into the digging up of the missed gems recruitment the club (sorta) states it goes in for but I have been concerned about the lack of match time these 'hidden gems' are getting...and the lack of transfer fees received (with one large exception). Maybe the loans out are trying to fix that.
It would be interesting to look at some statistics and costs around a normal recruitment/sell on system versus and academy style system and what we are trying to do. Anyone have any?

Trouble is we don't have the finances and facilities available to set up a decent academy at the moment so right now we should be looking at signing players purely for the purpose of being regular members of the matchday squads. I did mention something about maybe organising midweek friendlies for those not near the team at the forum but the question got dodged in a way a politician would do
