The whole footballing world can see it apart from one man.

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.

Speaking of which, we will have both Colwill's next season

Let's hope the younger brother does better than his big sibling Although league one may suit Rubes better

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.

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
Let's hope a few come through for this upcoming season, league one could be ideal for them to show what they're about.

Ledley played two seasons in the premier league for palace

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

You really need to sort all this out

He was clearly referring to comedy lip-job malfunction actress Lesley Ash

After discounting Crowther and Judd I did get there

And Ash obviously, thanks @The Colonel

Almost all these players played most of there football at the same level as us
