Give the youth a chance? 09:42 - Apr 28 with 1993 views | fLaMeBoY | Wouldn't it be refreshing if rather than persisting with the parasites like Park, Granero, Hoillet etc etc that Redknapp actually gave some of the youth players a chance? With no Townsend or Taarabt why not give Skapetis a game? Not Bothroyd. Instead of Park/Grenaro why nor Sutherland? You can't tell me Magri would be any worse that Bosingwa? We're down so it doesn't matter if 'they're not ready/good enough'. I know I would support/get behind these kids over the money suckers swanning around. Just a thought and no way would Redknapp do it. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Give the youth a chance? on 09:50 - Apr 28 with 1979 views | wittle | nice thought but at the end of the day these kids have to be good enough and over the last 30 years how many have come through and established themselves.I know the big earners are a joke ,but we havent had a decent youth set up since the likes of godard,allen,stewart,mcdonald etc, 70s/80s era. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Give the youth a chance? on 09:55 - Apr 28 with 1963 views | QPR_John | But what is a weakened team according to the FA. It might not effect us win or lose, but we have to play Arsenal (trying for a top four place) and Newcastle (slight relegation fear for them). Other teams around them might complain. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Personally couldn't give a fk if we put the kids out against Arsenal, lose 10-0, and Chelsea or Spurs complain. If they're going to be playing next season, get them in. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Give the youth a chance? on 10:10 - Apr 28 with 1932 views | macclesfieldman | The simple fact is we haven't produced youth players good enough for a lont time. Below is a list of players I have seen in the 1st team that progressed from our Youth system. Some very impressive names, Gerry Francis, Clive Allen, Paul Goddard, Peter Hucker ect ect but have a look at the bottom of the list and see which clubs they joined when we released them, this is evidence of the poor quality coming through our youth system for years.
