The whole debate keeps returning to the viability of an Academy concept and attempting to capture young talent at very tender years.
Far from identifying players at puberty it is now commonplace for most clubs to capture potential youngsters at primary s chool age, which does bring me to repeat my earlier point i.e. -
At what age do footballers reach their athletic maturity these days ? - probably not until mid 20's , which in itself discredits the academy policy.
Is it now worthy of the cost ?
