Academy players

[Glenn-Murray]

The difference between the two sides yesterday was 17 year old Wilfried Zaha up top and 17 year old Jonny Williams in central midfield.

Your club is investing a large amount of money into your youth setup and you should be very happy that Tony Bloom has the insight to see that a successful academy is the way forward.

Good luck for the rest of the season (until we play you at Selhurst)

Zaha is 17?!!

Didn't realise Zaha was 17. Both of those players were excellent, and a great advert for taking a youth policy seriously, hopefully we can reap a similar crop of players in the future.

 

[Red'n'Blue]

He is 18.

Our development squad lost today for the first time in over a year to a strong QPR team. Not a good week for south coast vs London.
