the best player from our youth team- EVER

[turienzo's lovechild]

not including BARRY, who is the best player to come up through ye olde youth RANKS at the albion?


i think LYNCH has the most potential, but me vote goes for VIRGO cos of the way he OWNED that season

 

[British Bulldog]

Kerry Mayo.

 

[Napper]

Have to say Virgo or Harding. The later is prob not right but you have to look at the 2 that have cut it in the highest level

 

[Wilka]

Gareth Barry.

i think harding moved to early. he clearly had a lot of potential, but there were many aspects of his game that were really lacking. a couple more seasons with us and he would've been a much more complete player, and could be playing in the premiership now

 

[The Wookiee]

Ian Chapman

 

[Rookie]

think Lynch will go on to be the star out of the academy (when is it a academy and not a youth team?) and in years to come we will say he was once at B'ton bit like we do with Barry

(when is it a academy and not a youth team?)

you need loads of STUFF for it to be an academy. stuff that generally costs a LOT, which we can't afford

our youth system is as good, if not better than most "academy" based ones, so i guess it is an academy in everything other than name

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I think it could well turn out to be Adam El-Abd.

 

[Wilka]

Gareth Barry.

Ops just read your first post again!

Hammond in that case.

Adam Virgo as he kept us in the Championship that season.

Joel Lynch, he was immense last season and at the start of this one, but shit ever since.

Dean Cox, he has been immense this season but my worry is that he will not be as good in the Championship

and

Kerry Mayo, hes in his 11th season with us, need i say anymore !

but yeh tough call but id go with Virgo or Mayo

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i think i'll go with gareth barry

 

[Les Biehn]

Nicky Rust.

[Skaville]

Stuart Tuck. Blue and white through and through, captained his home town club at 23, played at Hereford, retired from professional football due to playing with an injury in the '97 season and a bloody nice bloke.

 

[Mendoza]

ive seen a few youth team games over the years, the crop we have at the moment are the best we've ever had. they showed that in the fa cup over the last 2 seasons

the midfield was great, but very short, they included tommy fraser, scott chamberlain and dean cox

if we lose lynch, then we have great cover for him in sonny cobbs whos the yoof team captain
