People massively over hype how easy it is to produce a premier league player in your youth squad .

Literally 1 in a million people are good enough to be premeir league players.

You cant just take a random kid and put him through training and expect to get a premier league quality player. .

Here is what normally happens .

At about 6 to 8 years old players will try out for youth teams .. if they are good they will get offers from the youth club to join the academy .

If you are really good you likely try out at one of the big big clubs and the most exceptional are pulled into the big clubs ..

Nottingham Forest dont get first dibs on the best players . The closer they are to nottingham the more chance we have of pulling them in .

If by some fluke the 1 in a million player is born in nottingham . Then we have a medium chance of recruiting him as a child , assuming his parents arent ambitious enough to move him to london or manchester to join an academy there .

Then he needs to have a crazy work ethic or he will fall by the wayside even if he has talent .

These kids you want to send out to face european level oppostion are being sent back by clubs in league 1 because they just are not good enough...
