So we have fielded a youth system player

Eikrem looked very talented but turned out no great shakes.

Was impressed how Darren Ferguson forced his way into the first team

Was convinced David Johnson was going to be as good as Romario

Mads Timm lacked the drive to make it.

I thought O'Brien would certainly turn out better than the clogger he became.

Deniol Graham was one who slipped though I think. Bad luck and maybe some bad judgement.

None really apart from Pogba and Januzaj but a hell of a lot of our youth go on to have good careers in the Prem or Championship. Compare that to most other top flight clubs who produce absolutely nothing and yet don't get slated for it and we're the ones who lost our 'identity'.
