Not a single newcomer to the Academy over the last 3 seasons has been used in the 1st team without it being forced on Bielsa, even when we had the clown between the sticks.

If you were Gelhardt, as a 1st team player brought in from another Championship side (as the situation was at the time), and then weren't even included in subs line-ups, how would you feel playing in a team winning handsomely week in week out, in front of handful of spectators? And he won't be the only one.
I don't buy into this kid's stuff if they are good enough they should play. Agree why would you bother to buy good young talent if not intend on playing them. Look at the euro Spain had an 18-year-old running around even England 19-year-old. Used to be 18 and you're an adult! we have 21 22 years olds and we call them kids WTF.MB was brought in because he was known to bring up young talent but at Leeds, he is totally the opposite as he has taken older players and improved them. Now unless you are inside the club as to the reason well it's a guess, perhaps he doesn't like them perhaps he doesn't rate them as much as the outsiders who knows. But the 2 examples WTF used you would think he would look twice as bar non-injuries we probably would have moved them on by now.
