Re: Emerging Welsh wonder kids
i believe premier league academies are probably the best in the world with the sheer investment made in them and with Cardiff & Swansea so deep in the premier league scouting circuits Wales is going to get a conveyor belt of good duel & fully qualified kids.
Probably be worth getting a coach who has come through aged grade football preferably Welsh....ummmm
Re: Emerging Welsh wonder kids
it's impossible to know whether any of the current talented youngsters will go on to be another bale.
even a few years into bales senior career you wouldn't have thought he would go on to do what he did

Regarding the first part they are trying to poach ours

Re: Emerging Welsh wonder kids
Very promising that the youth age grades seem to all be doing well, there must be a few quality prospects to be getting these results.
I just saw this link about grassroots investment on the FAW website. Seems to be some sort of funding as part of being a Euro 2028 host country as well. I'd love to see what their actual plan is with the revenue from the World Cup qualification etc. I live in Australia now and the grassroots here are incredible compared to what I grew up with in the valleys.
