Someone is having a medical

It's a gamble, throw out a cheap net and see if you get any catches pretty much, the vast majority of people in youth teams don't make it, that's just the way it is. In the EFL you do HAVE to have at least one player in your squad (starting 11 or bench) that's home grown at the club for every game though so there's that too.

Kyle is spot on about our local competition sweeping up most of the best young talent in the area too, competing with Forest, Derby & Leicester and finding/keeping hold of someone with true talent is like winning the lottery, even if we did get them here you'd imagine their parents would be constantly waiting for the chance to jump to one of the other teams.



So you'd drop one of our best players and one of the best players in the league, to make way for Osborne because he's home grown?

That's a loaded question Freeman "Drop one of our "best" players"? I could be sarcastic and say No, I'd drop the most useless one..... (Edit: Comment not aimed at any particular individual) Not my point though. My point is that in my world there is room for Roberts AND Osbourne, in a team that drives forward with pace and passion. If you'd prefer sideways crab football with the team consisting of players who cant get in Motherwell reserves you are entitled to that view of course.
