We need to think about the future and I’ve been impressed by him when I’ve seen him play. Agree. He has been very impressive. Wouldn't feel so bad about losing SOD if we had this lad coming in as his replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Not sure if it has been mentioned here but Tommy Wright said yesterday that St Mirren had mad contact with St Johnstone about Matty Kennedy. Hopefully we are getting in there as he’d one many of us believe would improve us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdaw Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hamilton have one or two good youngsters. The boy that plays number 10 , Smith is it ? Also Millar who scored with a cracking shot at RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebigguy68 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I think smith will go on to be a premiership player in England. Best prospect I seen outwith old firm for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantly produce top young players that command decent fees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanEwart Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I was reading an interview with Hamilton chief executive Colin McGowan and he explained how despite the money they lost through the infamous bank scam, not a penny of funding was slashed from their youth development system.

Bigdaw Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Going forward we need to be producing better younger players. Years ago their was always a youngster about to break into the first Team, The did not always stay around long , But it has always brought in money. The free transfers that have be good for us are mostly the older pro's, Say 25+ , This might be because the need the job for family reasons and not a young player after better money than the guy in the street. we used to have teenagers breaking into the first team when i was younger. mauchline ,jenkins, canero, skilling, mcgivern, roberts , later years Boyd , naismith , Hay , Taylor .and loads i have forgotten about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a fair point but Motherwell, Hamilton and Falkirk have had tremendous success, St Mirren as well although to a lesser degree. We should not be light years behind these teams but it seems we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, they are like fishing trawlers, scoop up anything and anything half decent in hope of finding a dimanond, and punt anything they don't fancy after breaking the kid's dreams. Parents and kids easily swayed by the glamour of the clubs and and their fancy training grounds, plus the fact they can say oh they play for OF. In truth they would be way better coming to provincial clubs where they are actually mote likely to break through and get a career out of it. So many kids dreams are shattered by the OF's youth systems and they kids throw towels in when they get th knock back. Andy Roberston is a unique survivor who managed to make it right to the top after coping dealing with being released as a kid, Taylor has to a lesser extent, and it can happen, but by and large it doesn't. A waste of young Scottish talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
