When???
If they are interested in developing our own players then we need a development team. What I don't agree with is developing other teams players.
I am quite happy with developing other teams players, as long as we don't have an equivalent sitting in the academy.
The problem is that we don't have an under 23 side as a next step for academy graduates. The only alternative is to send them out on loan and let other teams develop our youngsters for us. It's not a terrible system for any of the club's involved but it would be preferable to keep it in house.
