Unfortunately, I think we will find it harder to bring through good prospects in the future.

With the way the academy set up is nowadays, the bigger teams can just pinch any good talents at a young age (e.g. Matondo) before they even get close to the first team. Joe Ralls did come from our youth team, but seeing as we pinched him from Farnborough the same as Man City pinched Matondo I am unsure if he can be classed as a youth product.
