It's highly possible that none of them are good enough yet, after all our youth scheme has been diminished almost to the point of insignificance. However, either way Keates has no interest in them.
The youth team is only there to raise subscription revenue - normally at u16 in any establishment there are 1/3 to 1/2 offered scholarships maximum. In well run centres its about talent identity and concentrating coaching time into the best bets. This year every played bar 1 was offered, that is not talent management.
