It is a punt, no doubt about that. And as our punting has as yet to provide anyone who has made it to the first team, I hope at least one of these young guys make it.
I thought both looked to have something about them, but, it’s the old YouTube clip thing. We could probably look half decent, well I could
and it’s just a matter of waiting and seeing. I’m hoping the law of averages puts a kook in, as, up until now at least, not one of our “projects”, has proved to be justified and it makes you wonder if our coaches rely on YouTube clips too. The fact we had both young guys in at training means we thought they were good enough to offer contracts to.
Finding a project that works is a bit like trying to find the holy grail. And maybe that’s the problem, the holy grail doesn’t exist and maybe realising that will stop us taking so many who cost valuable resources where the combined money wasted could be invested in one or two actual players who can improve us.
I can’t think of one project who has made it, but wouldn’t be delighted if anybody can to show that it has worked ever with us.
Is there one signed in the last three years who gets a look in?
