Well sort of.

Sunday Times stats for number of players who have come through a teams youth system and played in the Premier league this season.

Man U. 23
Villa. 15
W Ham 11
Arsenal Man C Blackburn Everton 10
Ncastle 9
Lpool 8
Chelsea Leeds Spurs Ajax 7
Sunderland Wolves Barcalona Charlton 6

Still impressive. Note Palace nowhere

So who are the six? Parker, Shelvey, Defoe. Jason Brown? Who else have I missed

  • That would make seven, but we all know that the press believe Defoe never had anything to do Charlton.

    I am surprised to see Ajax's name there though, anyone know who those 7 would be?

    Technically Babel is playing in Germany & Paul Konchesky is playing in the Championship.
