WHY ARN'T ANY OF OUR YOUNGSTERS COMING THROUGH ?
When is Rafa ever going to give youth a chance ? Everyone says how good our youngsters are
( they won the youth cup twice in a row ), but none of them ever get given a chance. Micheal Owen was 16 when he played for Liverpool Stevie G 17 if I recall correctly, but for the last 4 years under Rafa we have had absolutely no one coming through, and yet he is constantly buying youngsters to put in our reserves. Surely one or two of these guys should be coming through by now ?, and please don't say that they are too young, other teams blood there younsters young, Pele was 16 when he won his first World Cup, players like Rooney,Fabragas,Adebyor, Joe Cole at Chelsea were all 16 or so when they started out , look at how good they are. Money for transfers is supposedly non existant so why no try some of these young players now. Insua at left back, Hobbs in the centre, get Anderson back from Swansea and give him a try, and we have one or two top goalscoring prospects as well Nemeth and Bouzanis. We may end up saving ourselves a fortune in the transfer market, or is Rafa's youth policy a load of nonsence as well ?
Has Guthrie not proven at Bolton he was good enough as a squad player for us? Benitez shows no faith in home grown players yet when he bought rejects like Nunez and Josemi he gave them loads of chances to prove how SHITE they were.
He doesn't give young lads any confidence they can break through - unless he signed them himself.
We have plenty of young talent in the reserves i.e- hobbs,anderson,insua,elzahr,etc... etc... the list goes on and yet rafa wont give any of them a run in the side but why? he is buying young talent putting them in the reserves and then not seeing them again! and he's been quoted as saying he wants more time fcuk! how much more time does he need he's been in the job 3 1/2 years and in that time he's been top of the league 4 one week in all his time! if u ask me that isnt good enough as far as i know he has gone over the 125 million pound mark thats more than houlier spent thats why the dispute is goin on with the yanks all that money rafa has spent he hasnt really had nowt 2 show 4 it has he? not in the league he hasnt and this twat still thinks we have a realistic chance of winning the PL title bein 12 pts behind NO CHANCE! and without any activity goin on in the transfer window we will find it tough 2 finish 4th id be happy 2 see mourinho in charge so would a lot of people on this site.
I totally agree with all you say (and with those who had written earlier). I too have written about this subject at least four times on the site. We are overstaffed with players. How many goalkeepers have we got for God's sake??? I really feel for those who Benitez signs `for the future'. It must be a soul destroying time, especially as at present the site is full of `who shall sign in the January window'. Anyone who is signed will be for now and not the future and therefore those in the Reserves will remain on hold as it were or we will read that they have been let out on loan or moved on - without ever having had the chance to show what they could have done. What about this Adjaravit? I've only seen him on clips of youth matches but he looks one to give a chance to and of course there are others. Anderson looked the goods (especially when we were crying out for a winger)but he has been shuffled off to Swansea. Give him a chance also. This club has nothing to lose this year in that respect. We have no chance of the Premiership (Christ remeber how boyuant we all were back in Ausgust!!!!) and bringing some fresh blood in will at least see if they are good enough. If not get rid of them. Finally not much has been written as far as I know about the absolute inability of ANYONE to put over even a half decent cross on Wednesday into the box. Pennant, Kewell, Finnan all were absolutely abysmal in that respect (but then so was the whole evening!!!!!!!!)
