I think you're being a little pedantic by focusing on the fact Mel named Max Lowe. Surely you can see the gist of what he's getting at - bringing in quality players from the academy through to the first team like Southampton did when they went up was instrumental in their success and sustainability. I somehow don't think Mel was pinning all of Derby's future success on one single academy prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Just now, curtains said: But the point is the quality of the academy players in my eyes are not of the Will Hughes standards. Its just my opinion but Mel needs to keep his eyes open Like I said, I'm pretty sure it's a long term goal. The next Will Hughes could be a 13 year old right now, stop thinking Lowe, Rawson, Bennett will keep us in the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a way but where are these players like Bale and Kane etc. The standard of the Premier League allows no time for introducing might make it players . Look at Aston Villa. 4 minutes ago, cosmic said: I think you're being a little pedantic by focusing on the fact Mel named Max Lowe.

Ok then which ones can you see knocking our first team players out the team now for the Championship or the even tougher Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's investing big in the academy for the future, he believes the way forward is to keep unearthing a Hendrick or Hughes, leaving a pathway from the academy to the first team to attract the best young talent out there. Like I said, lets enjoy the journey for now and worry about world domination in a year or two. Just don't believe it or not want Mel to waste all his money on the academy. Good luck though Mel Morris you are fantastic for Derby County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're missing the point. As a few have already tried to explain to you it's more about the academy in general producing talented players in the next 5 years making the first team, rather than us getting promoted this season and swapping out our first team for the U21's, which I think is what conclusion you've drawn.

Jayram Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I thought he came across very well and its nice to know the club is in such good hands. For the first time in years it feels like the club is heading firmly in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramkesian Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Clearly a diplomatic answer, hardly going to say the academy will have little or no involvement in the prem. Why didn't anybody ask if Mel would be parking his car in Florists carpark Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiakez Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 35 minutes ago, curtains said: Your 100 percent right but he did infer the likes of Max Lowe who is a good prospect IMO bye the way would be the type of players to come from the academy to keep us up in the Premier League. I just don't agree with that assumption and I would suggest we would need to have more ideas than that. You don't seriously think that after spending £20 million in the Championship he's just going to chuck youth players into the first team once we reach the Prem do you? You're going on as if Mel's said we aren't going to spend any money once we achieve promotion because we have a few promising academy players, which isn't the case at all.
