    You might not have framed it as a question, but you expressed confusion.

    I don't believe I said they don't appear to be good enough. I don't know enough about most of them as they haven't featured for the first team. I'm merely explaining the intention of the strategy long-term. Vaughan certainly looks to have a lot about him but injuries haven't helped to start this season.

    I'm not confused
    I said: "I dont know why we got them"
    Meaning I thought there isnt a good reason for getting them
    You think there is

    The best thing to come out of Birmingham was Ian Ashbee.

    You dont seem too excited about them
    Some clubs try to develop young players to sell at a profit and dont try to get in the Premier League
    I think Hull City are trying to get into the Premier League rather than sell players on
    Obviously, in the past, if we get relegated many of our best players may have wanted to leave
    Other players want to leave simply because they can play in the Premier League or significantly increase their salary

    I saw Black Sabbath in Hull and they bored me
    I've seen Led Zeppelin several times and they were great
    Never seen ELO

    Generally if you don't know something you are asking for an explanation but this is so boringly tedious so I'll leave you to it.

    I just didnt think there was a good reason to sign lots of players who are not going to be good enough
    I'm glad you have stopped

    Don’t think any of those were as good a singer as Winwood. All a matter of personal preference but I have never heard a 16 year old white boy with depth of soul he had.

    Never known anyone from Leeds supporting Bradford or Huddersfield. Though there are some from those places who will support TWS.

    Maximise your chances of unearthing another Bowen, or indeed a raw centre half from sheff u here and a punt on a left back from Scotland there.

    Never know where they might end up.

    -> You asked why we bothered bringing them in.
    I didnt ask
    -> but you expressed confusion.
    I'm not confused. I said: "I dont know why we got them"

    Alfie Jones bought from Southampton, having never played a game for them, now a first team regular.

    Jarrod Bowen brought in as an 18 year old who'd never played a league game, sold for £25m.

    Harry Vaughan bought in as an 18 year old from Oldham, now in the first team.

    This is on top of the likes of Greaves, KLP, Fleming that came through the academy and before them, Cooper, Cairney etc.

    We now have some very highly rated young lads coming through the academy, from Ash junior to Sandat, with the likes of Jarvis flying on loan at Shelbourne. The one thing (probably the only thing) the Allams did well with during their tenure, was improve the quality of the lads coming through the academy and that's continuing under Acun.

    If we could just get them out of a portacabin and into some decent facilities, we'd have an academy to be proud of.

    Down to you feeling the need to weigh in with your two cents utterly meaninglessly.

    "I don't know" not meaning confusion is new to me. Perhaps I don't know what "I don't know" means. But I'm not confused about it.

    But it's all random and there's no point and they'll all be released for free so what's the point but I'm not asking what's the point I'm just expressing there's no point and I don't know why but I'm not confused about it so actually I know why. Or something.

    Why an earth would we release Vaughan for free when, whenever he's played for the first team he's played pretty well and in some games been our best player?
