Problem these days is that the most talented kids get poached by PL clubs. We've lost at least 3-4 just in the past year, including Nduka who was poached by Arsenal and has now moved to Man City.MuttleyCAFC said:We have to hope the injury hasn't set him back. If you want top strikers and midfielders etc... you have to produce them if you are Charlton. We pat ourselves on the back regarding our academy but it has to produce these higher level players not high end League One players.

Yes, I make you right. We need the late developers who don#t get sniffed out. The system stinks though. It is like making a law that rich people can rob your house!Chris_from_Sidcup said:
