bigfatjoe1 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Do you realise if it was possible to sign (disragrding unrealistic signings like Richards) Gerrard, Holt, Hughes, Haining (or even Futcher) and Vernon we could have a team of homegrowns that reads: Gerrard Eardley, Haining, Holt, Lomax Smalley, Hughes, Allot, Taylor Vernon, Alice Not sayig I necessarily want them all back, but iit s a testimony to our continuing youth developmentover the years.

Err.. Hughes in Midfield.. and last time I checked he wasn't home grown... bloody weird accent if he is from Oldham ... and Haining was signed from Rangers youth at 17/18... not exactly home grown either... again, the accent tends to give it away...

Guest oa_exile Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 no andy barlow SCANDELOUS Think it's based on players who are still playing You could get a very good team of "home grown" if you go way back enough and add those players. Quote

You've got Lee bloody Hughes on the mind. I believe he was talking about Andy Hughes at Leeds. Quote

philliggi Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 chris makin and nick henry are retired aint they? not sure about bernard but i presume he too is retired. one man who would, without doubt be in the team, and still playing IF he didnt get an injury at such a young age, would be Carl Serrant. However he got injured and that was the end of that. Quote

Crusoe Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Ah right, missed the still playing bit. Carry on! Quote
RoytonBlueLad Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 and haining was at latics when he was 16 coz he used to come in tara with the rest of the youth team when I worked there He was. Spent early years with Rangers without signing forms and then moved south after leaving school. Used to live with someone I know in Royton. Him and Scott Vernon moved in when the Bosh and Ryan Sugden moved out. Quote
chaddy Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 if its no retired players thats diffrent NO CHRIS HALL SCANDELOUS LOL Quote
kellysheroes Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 what about DANNY HALL??? DID HE COME THROUGH THE RANKS??? ANYONE!!!!! Quote
bigfatjoe1 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Posted April 29, 2008 Yes, i meant players still playing, yes I meant Andy Hughes who started off in midfield and yes it could include Danny Hall (who I rated) but NO to that lanky streak at Stalybridge. Oh, and if you don't include Haining then you really are stretching a point, and what the hell has an accent got to do with it. We have got youth players from elsewhere - Oh, Mr. Fin, by your reckoning Eardley is not a youth player because he is born and bred in Llandudno while Tipton with his fluent Welsh (from Bangor) was clearly brought in from elsewhere ie Bangor U15s, therefore he wasn't one of ours.
