These prem teams really do have there eyes everywhere.
Think I wrote on this thread very early on ( or a similar thread)
The Lad also scored for Southampton last week.
The big issue is ON OUR OWN DOORSTEP! A local based training academy has kid's from the age of 5 upwards training. I would say maybe 100 or so. And these lads are at the higher end of the scale for thier ages. Kid's who should be at the biggest league club this side of Bristol! Parents who have children there say it's better than Argyle's set up (+ plus not tied to the club, so can have trials at a number of clubs and play games against clubs), added to Exeters set up we are behind them both. Argyle know all about it. I don't see us getting much luck in home grown talent for a long time . And A Cusack has just joined them.
