No need to be relentlessly childish, I wish every success to any youngster wherever they come from, its a rocky path no matter what, they need all the luck and support they can muster. My position was prompted by you and others that seem to think that in Ireland we have found some kind of...

Yes quite, in football parlance thats lots of 'if buts and maybes' it seems that the very top teams embedded within Ireland didnt agree with your own assessment of a young player with nailed on credentials, more likely he was just a talented player that needed some help, the benefit of the...

My point isnt where he might be now in terms of his development, my point is where he might have been at the time of his recruitment in terms of his overall development. I suspect that Molumby was a talented young player, to what extent probably determined by his physical development, if in...

Firstly I hope that Molumby is a great success and if he has always been considered an outstanding prospect then it would suggest that the historically based premiership clubs would have been there offering him a deal and Brighton have done well to sign him, however your comment also suggests...

Firstly you will have to accept that I have not said that any of the current youngsters are not very good etc etc. and I genuinely wish them every success, my view is purely on a recruitment policy that seems to currently have some bias towards Ireland, driven by Morlings own position...

I do agree, certainly Morling is tapping into his previous Irish connections, I think there is little else on his CV that might have given Burke the inclination to hire him. It therefore follows that he will have a bias with his recruitment policy towards Ireland, which by default then can...

You can never be certain and direct comparisons on young players is a pointless task. I am not necessarily commenting on Connolly or other individual players, mine is a more general view but I suspect and as the stat man you could check that Connollys player pathway hasnt been anything...

No I am not, you cannot quite grasp my point even though you have chosen to comment indirectly to me on random posts. You only offer a view on current form, whereas my general point is consistent, it is on the current recruitment policy, driven by a bias towards Ireland in particularly and even...

Ah for someone that says he isnt particular opinionated you seem to be finding your feet, so good for you. If you cared to go to the EFL website and look at the goals scored by young players from ALL professional divisions it is quite impressive, although it doesnt invalidate the skill executed...
