one of my main gripes about the OS is the lack of information about the lads coming through, we get excited by them but we have to remember that some are only 16 and slight as in weight and strength which is only natural. when stephen gerrard was at this age he was a skinny little whisp of a lad (although Mugabe looks like a rugby player). The OS should offer videos of the boys playing and not only on player, think it was joe curtis that transferred to us late on because of the reputation that we are gaining
Simple - I've followed the academy teams for years and watch the games when I can. Some of this stuff is on the website. These lads are the squad that went to Texas and were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Barcelona in the final of the Dallas Cup final when U13. They were presented to the crowd on their return.
