🏴🗣️ Bukayo Saka after winning the Premier League:
"People are starting to go into hiding mode, but we are going to find them!"
He's just as unbearable as all Arsenal fans. 🤣
@bluewhitewall After being released from the Watford youth systemat age 14, he began his senior career with non-league side Northwood. After making 12 appearances in his debut season, he signed for fellow non-league club Wealdstone in 2018.
@royalex_B@Dubstep1988 Mamadi was bought into the academy at u18 level - not developed by the academy (u9-11). We don’t develop academy players anymore.
@Dubstep1988 Has anyone even trained with first team ? Academy has to start producing players ! If not spend that millions into first team get us promoted soon.
@MikePea73444529@JR_1871 Does that show the quality of our academy (or lack of it) ? Our academy is now purely reliant on getting “released” players from other Cat1/2s (story from the past 5 years). Sad reality.
@bw_jester_rfc If the big clubs have academy kids (15/16 year olds) training with first team, why can’t a league 1 club do it ? Clearly there is zero accountability - academy is running without developing the boys to play first team ?
@bw_jester_rfc Thanks to Olise largely and some academy boys we sold (thanks to proper development by earlier academy coaches) …most of those coaches have left ! Wonder why academy kids are not even training with first team ?

@bw_jester_rfc No one seems to be asking serious questions about lack of efficiency of our academy. Spend that money on first team for the next 3-5 years, establish as a championship side and then have a proper Cat 1. Right now our academy is a luxury. See what Crewe has done.
