There are thousands of kids in the Nix patch that they don't want and the same is true of every professional club.

More pathways is good no doubt, but the Nix are under no obligation to sign every local player who shows some promise (especially when their scouting will be far more detailed than mine!).

there's a dude i used to follow on twitter, before i left for ethical reasons ;-). he and his other followers used to complain about every player that liverpool fc could have signed, who had eventully gone on to make something of themselves elsewhere.

he would constantly repost his prior selections from years ago; players who liverpool hadn't signed. he was a very frustrated dude.

very naive. there's only so much budget and so much room. they know what they're doing for the most part. and it's gone ok hasn't it? 

I work with guys in their 20s who were at Arsenal and Watford. Both played for the U21s and were loaned out to clubs at levels that we would view as decent yet they are now aircraft mechanics under me. 

If these two were in NZ they would have been spoken about a lot in this forum. The UK and Europe has so many potentials floating about, its not hard for clubs to let people slip through the net.
