GlossopLatic Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 It was very interesting I thought. While I can see the pitfalls of some of this. Some of the kids could easily fall out of love with the whole thing having effevtively a career when most their age dont have to bother with such life defining decisions. On the otherhand I thought the most interesting contributor was Joey Barton about how some of the kids get too much too soon refusing to go out on loan to league 2 and big clubs stock piling players it backs up what Tony Philiskirk said in an interview about coming to Oldham for kids from PL academies that its a culture shock to them.
