It foes feel like a lot of the fringe players who weren't good enough to even be considered depth are being let go. Finally as some might say.
If it fees up funding for 1 or 2 proper squad players as a result then it could be a good summer |  |

Still think Hayden will be back, add all the names in the development squad and under 18s currently loads of available parking spaces at Heston. Mind you those left are on hols |  | | |

If you add together all the wages of those who have left (other than Dozell who's wages are already repurposed) then it probably equals a Hayden.

I didn't mind the "kiss a lot of frogs" method that Ramsey used to talk about, but it has felt like we've held onto a hell of a lot of players who were obviously never going to be Champ standard way too long. |  | | |

We finally seem to be doing what I hoped we would do for a long time - be less concerned with getting "our own" youth players into the first team (which always struck me as a salary-justifying mission by the likes of Ramsey) and instead polishing some turds sh*t out by more successful academies. I mean it would be lovely if we did develop another Raheem Sterling from the age of about 9, but the odds of it are probably about 100/1 (1000/1?) and even then he would just be pinched from us. The JSC example is surely the one to follow for a club like us. It seems to have taken the arrival of Nourie and years of failure (with Warburton's warnings ignored) to have finally adopted a policy that was probably pretty obviously the right path to many of us fans. | | | |

Travelman seems to have built an entire career on the basis that he came out of John Textor's US academy and it looks good for him if the graduates from that have good careers, so he kept signing him for his clubs. | | | |

yep and when we've gone down that route in the past (anyone from Steve Slade to Dom Shimmin to Stefan Moore etc etc etc as well as countless others who never even made the team - wither thou, Dave McEwen?) you'll get posts saying the opposite.
Why does it have to be one or the other? | |

I take your point. Amazing how many players from top academies fall through the divisions. But I just think we have a better success rate at developing cast offs than our own. In the current first team we have Field, JSC and Dunne who were all released from academies or B teams of more successful clubs. But unless you count Chair, we haven't developed anyone of our own recently into first team starters. I felt we persisted with the likes of Kakay as much because we wanted him to be good as for his actual effectiveness. You could possibly make the same argument about Armstrong. It does become a choice IMHO because of our incredibly limited resources. [Post edited 23 May 11:39]

What a depressingly cynical/parasitic 'if you can't beat them join them' world-view - so why have an Academy at all on that basis!? You also don't seem to wonder for even a minute why ours should be so much less successful than others. In the meantime, your grimly chortlesome rebranding of JCS with an acronym that stands for 'joint-stock company' tells one a lot about your soulless polemic.
Personally, my own view would be the complete antithesis, but I'm an old-fashioned fool for (QPR) love! [Post edited 23 May 11:40]

I didn't realise I was being especially cynical, let alone parasitic.
Surely in sport you follow the data and do what works to be successful?
I just don't see the point in investing large sums to effectively develop Leyton Orient's or Dagenham's future starting 11 when we could spend that on another Field, JSC or Dunne.
I don't think you are a fool at all, but you probably are a romantic... | | | |

Possibly/ probably naivety on my behalf but it felt more like Textor doing him a favour at the end of his time here by hooking him up everytime the club asked him to go on loan and free up some money for more blood.
After Ainsworth ditched him for Larkeche who he also didn’t like, he went straight to the Finnish champions, played Europa league football and has been unattached for 6 months.
Certainly not a boring career. | | | |

Fair points. I don't think we ever really 'persisted' with Kakay, mind. He was basically cheap back-up, who sometimes did a pretty decent job. | |

Oh he's had a wonderful time. Hence the nickname. Is there a league in the Maldives? | | | |

I struggle to dislike him for being willing to go and live in a hotel room in some weird places, especially when some players have neglected to help the club by taking a move outside London. | | | |

But it's not just about the first team, is it, especially for a club like ours - it's about bringing through the cream of the crop for the football of tomorrow and tomorrow. To me, it' really disappointing that the Academy seems to have such a high mortality rate.
Your post is really the acme (or I suppose nadir) of short-sightedness, and I'm glad you're not running things. | |
