AOC has 'made it' in the sense that he's holding down a first team position after progressing through the academy and the reserves. It would seem quite unfair on him to have to 'make it' again with a load of kids when he's already done it once. Our academy is up there with Arsenal and Chelsea, so we must be doing something right. The logical route for AOC would be Championship, Mid-table PL, Top 6 PL, The World. Connor Wickham has got a good move by being patient at Ipswich and AOC would be wise to do likewise.
