Let's hope so. Also have hopes (not in midfield, of course) for Tilley, Connolly and JMD (when he comes back from Lincoln). Yes, it's great when we lump out millions for a player, but I'd really like to see us growing more of our own.
No idea if Normann is good enough...............I'd never heard of him before we signed him, as with Gross, Suttner, Propper and Ryan - never heard of them before either - but I agree with your point about having U23s capable of standing up to the plate should the need arise. Sadly, I don't...
