Quote: knockersbumpMKII "But not every year can be a top recruitment year, there are so many factors including who is available, an unexpected injury to a top player, someone who retires or wants to leave to go elsewhere (like Ryan Hall) and if you're focusing on the core of the club, the youngsters then continually recruiting from outside the club never works out in the long run.
You can't always produce one top youngster a year to shine, never mind the outlier that Leeds had with producing several within a very short period of time, even despite winning the championship last year and one could say they overperformed to expectations they were still in a transition phase.
Still not seeing how this helps them in the short term, why not plan a replacement and then do what's required at season end'"
wow, you didn't mention Radford!
