Obi1Kenobi0 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Makes you wonder though when these kids come through although initially helped by the system in place at Watford, what will happen to their development once the big clubs swoop? They are then stuck in the reserves or out on loan in the lower leagues where there is not the emphasis on technique. Although from Watfords perspectives if they can recoup the costs plus profit then from a monetary view it is worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDcFcXx Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I was reading this at college yesterday. A few of watfords players are from their youth academy. I don't think that they have a lot of money though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
