The one positive we need to get out of spending an obscene amount on a new training ground is giving certain cohorts of players an even better opportunity to improve. We need to be the go to team to develop in to a first team footballer. The recruitment of Paul McGuiness is a huge step in that direction IMO. Your absolutely spot on in your thinking. We need to develop youngsters from our Academy to become fully successful 1st team players. The route that we had success in before in finding cheap gems that became outstanding players is now being followed by several other mid table teams eg West Ham Southampton Brighton Brentford etc etc. Leicester can be unique in the Academy approach whereas unlike Chelsea we hang on to Academy youngsters. By focussing and pumping resources we will have the Top academy for the development of young players, whereas other clubs are neglecting this area by concentrating on the now by spending s***loads on players for short term gain Edited 2 February 2022 by CrispinLA in Texas 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 Strange this lad still doesn't seem like he wants to associate himself with us. He's finally admitted he's left Arsenal and removed them from his bio but likely a bit bemused he's ended up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it all sounds like a complicated and messy end to his time at his boyhood club (as someone else has said) just when he'd signed a professional contract. I can imagine that being potentially quite a hard thing to stomach, it could just be a bit of an emotional time for him. Hopefully he's even more determined to show Arsenal how good he is and we reap the rewards of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't have thought Arteta would really care what the parents of youth teamers thought of him. From whats been rumoured from Arsenal fans, Arteta made broken promises to Balogun who then got lumbered in the U23's and the knock on effect was that the strikers in the 17-20 age groups were getting less football. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
