Is there a danger that with all these new young signings for the U23s and below then we are blocking the path for some of our homegrown talent to come through and get game time in the youth sides? #lufc

there is, or was, a fairly large hole in the 23/18 development groups. Been short on numbers for quite a while now, for various reasons (1st team progression, players leaving, not enough recruitment etc). The club recently upped their focus on the Yorkshire market

Wasn’t Jack Clarke the start of that Yorkshire connection?

Ryan Edmondson from York City

Still a a big crop of local/English youngsters in these age groups, think you’ll find the u16s and below will be all local, think bringing in top talent from other countries can only help them improve

there are plenty of local players in the lower age groups. Just going to take a while for them to come through. I'm not against the idea of looking further afield, as long as the players coming in are up to standard
