me too. but i would be cautious about damaging confidence. i'm sure owen @ 18 had a better mental state than pennant. what you can ask one person to do is different from another. that said, i felt owen was overdone and a huge part of the way he is now is because of him being pushed/pushing himself too hard too young....

Completely agree (whatever your name is) as only the 'special ones' come true.

We have talent coming though but its how we develop them in to quality players/1t players. No point sending them out on loan to sell them. We have to maybe do what Arsenal do a play them in the Carling Cup and other cup competitions. No excuses for some of these players not getting in to the 1st squad over the next year or soon.

i don't think it's a question of just playing them in the CC like arsenal - i wish it was but the trouble is that rafa's squad is possibly too big, so he has to use the CC just to give games to momo, voro, itandje, nowadays kuyt & crouch... it could be argued this really is a wider issue on the effect of rotation at the club

Plessis. He resembles Momo in more ways than just physique - a similar touch & passing skills. Doesn't seem to have the same workrate/stamina tho....
