Always glad when our youngsters start doing well. I was thinking Veljkovic might be worth a go in the first team one day but his teammate seems to be doing more.

If I was in charge I would give these youngsters a chance before importing from abroad. DeYedlin may be an good addition but I would think it would have been better for Frederick's to play under study to Walker and Naughton.

I think in a couple of years, players like Mason, Kane, McEvoy, Pritchard, Townsend, Winks, Edwards and Fredericks could be the mainstay of our squad.

They just need the trust of the manager and the confidence in themselves and I believe we would be in better shape for it.

Too many clubs are too hasty in disregarding the youth set up, the solution is normally a lot closer to home and people think.
I really hope this is true. Because we don't have the cash of Citeh and Chelski we need to get players cheaper than them. However, we need to get them experience before we ask too much and loan spells can do that. One or two might be useless so better ruin another team's season than ours.

Totally agree. And, also, we need to give them time (not directing this at you - just saying it generally) - just because they're not world-class by the time they are 18, doesn't mean we should disregard them. Mason is evidence of this.

I have no doubt the player has potential but you have to take into account the standard he's playing.

I think right now bar a bit of stardust the MFL is between Championship and League 1 standard.

Simon Dawkins looked a player in the MFL and he's shone for Derby in the Championship which indicates what level he's at and possibly Yedlin.
Hate to be picky but the league in the U.S. is the M.L.S.
