Academy coach says future is bright - Do you believe him?
Posted: Fri Apr 16, 2004 6:06 pmLiverpool Academy coach Dave Shannon insists the future is bright with regards to the young talent that is coming through the ranks of this club.
Shannon believes there has always been a steady flow of exciting young players at the Academy and remains as optimistic as ever, despite the fact seven under-19 players are being released at the end of the season.
He's a realist who knows not every boy will make it to the first team, like Mellor, Welsh and Otsemobor have done recently, but he's excited at the quality that keeps emerging.
"We've always got talented players at this Academy and I think the talent we've got coming through is exciting," says Shannon.
when you look at the facts, our two WORLD CLASS players both came through our academy along with jamie carragher. when i look at our squad i don't think we have got the blend right between young english talent and foreign players. i personally don't see the youngsters getting a look in anytime soon. what do you reckon?
