Because they will be training all summer? Surely that is better than the alternative ie doing nothing.
So would these players not be with other ASBP squads??
Would they though? Only one has played an ASBP game before.
perhaps
but i would argue that the best answer is to restrict squad sizes to 25 and players over 20 (or whatever) to 18 (players)
this would give at least 7 kids per franchise the proper exposure to national league football alongside quality players
this is what the a-league does
the a-league should be seen as a model for player development. they have had it right since day one and look at the players it has produced
