I get your point, I simply get it.

I just gave my POV.
Obviously, i just get the impression that some fans seem to automatically think that just because we have these players available to us then they should automatically be given a chance at first team level, like it's some kind of natural process. The club gives them contracts on the basis that they could develop into something worthwhile, some do, most don't, although it seems that as a club we're pretty spectacular at not producing home grown footballers.
