Football Club statement and message from Vincent Tan.

Yeah, I sort of agree but that academy was producing great players before Tan. For a good part of Tan's time here, kids weren't getting a chance and maybe that's because they were not good enough. But the academy was here pre-Tan, and it's good to see some players coming through.
Great players? I'm a little lost at that statement, Ramsey being the last " great" player from there imho.:aya:

If the standard is that Ramsey is the watermark then you're right. That academy produced nothing pre-Tan and nothing post Tan.

If the standard is players who went on to play at a higher level, then we have
Gunter
Jerome
Ledley
Matthews

Sort of agree, but ledley & Mathews played in the Scottish league, hardly that big a step up imho.:thumbup:

They played European football, and Ledley played in the Euros. Wouldn't mind the academy churning out a Joe Ledley right now.

Yeah but in all fairness, so have a lot of welsh league players played European football. Ledley went for money, and that pull no doubt, as he didn't sign for a Ross county or the likes, as they would never qualify :thumbup:
Let's hope a few come through for this upcoming season, league one could be ideal for them to show what they're about.:aya:

Ledley had a good career all round.

Jerome was signed from another academy shortly before he played for us so we can be praised for talent spotting but not really his development

I just occasionally like to know who we're talking about
He was clearly referring to comedy lip-job malfunction actress Lesley Ash
