Cullen, Ollie Cooper, Congreve, Cotterill, Ben Lloyd, Josh Thomas.
Joe Thomas and Kai Ludvigsen released.
Govea and Sam Parker fast tracked past them. Lissah and Abdullai brought in by Marc Allen look the part.
These local guys have been on the books from early teens and some lack the basis. Are just kept on just to populate the u21 team.
All under contract and none, as far as i can see, improving ins such a way that it is noticeable. Cullen has been kept on for another year as has Josh Thomas.
Only Parker has excited the fans and he is hesitating on a new deal it seems.
I was just reading about Eborezie Eze. At 24 he has really kicked on after being moved around clubs. Has the academy lost its way.? [Post edited 1 Jun 17:42]

Maybe the homegrown talent just isn't quite talented enough?
Or maybe some of them are just slower burners than others? We're all different.
There again, what if the academy is just useless. |  | | |

Marc Allen when he took over the academy stated the local kids were not good enough and brought in a group of rejects from Premier league teams. He got a lot of stick for that. Three years on now.
Players like Veevers, Lissah, Abdullai, Kyrrel Wilson Tyrell Whittaker a CB called Roberts and one or two others like Zane Myers.
Given that Kyrell Wilson, Lissah and Abdullai are all in the first team squad and Congreve Cotterill Lloyd and Thomas are not suggests he might have had the right strategy.
The club tend to bring in people t run the academy then promote them out like Clottet and Allen. | |

Those 3 players haven't proved good enough yet. They have to live up to expectations otherwise....  | | | |

Mark Allen didn't sign Lissah or Wilson or any of the Chelsea youngsters, that was down to the head of recruitment at the time Jack Chapman.
As for Eze, he came to Landore on trial, amongst other clubs and wasn't rated. That's what happens in football, an academy can't sign everybody they trial and when some trialists when they arrive don't impress. Move on. | | | |

Who is responsible is always an issue for clubs. Conventionally the manager is responsible for signings except when you manage Chelsea.
Allen was head of the academy at the time and it was he that stated the local player were not up to scratch. These players were brought in on "his watch". The list of superstars " not rated " in Swansea is a growing list. Cullen is rated but declines easy headers. | |
