[General]

Only 1 player in the current set up?

Yeah, although I count five of that squad having decent playing time for us and having gone on to have professional careers..

That doesn't include mitroglu - on top of those five think donnelly and burgess also got first team action with us.

Seems the current U18s are of similar quality perhaps - maybe less for the very top but definitely capable of professional careers at this level. Rodak has always stood out as one of the best due to his ability and exposure compared to his age consistently at academy level. Expect him to become a top keeper and premier league standard too.
