Youngsters, as we have brought in, should be fast-tracked not left to rot in the under 23's and loaned out to crap teams.
Ohh but they are to young and are not ready yet which is a lot of BS Mr. Kiko gets 50k a week while a 19-year-old gets how much? Who do you want to be between the sticks? I bet you don't say Mr Kiko because he is experienced even though he is crap. Wtf we have a loaned Winger from another club coming on to his 3rd year with us so where is the development?
Actually oz, Leeds have developed quite a few who were first placed in the U23s/ academy. Meslier, Roberts. To a lesser extent Shackleton, who has played a fair amount for the 1st team albeit mostly as a sub. Of course Jack Clarke was sold. Struijk, Casey, Poveda were regularly on the 1st team bench. All these guys were "developed" by playing in the U23s first.
