When I first joined Brighton, we set a really lofty target – to have 30 per cent of first-team minutes accounted for by academy products. That is really, really high and very, very difficult to achieve – particularly in the Premier League.
I'll be keeping track of this in this thread throughout the season. Think it will be very exciting to see how close the club could come to reaching that target. Dont think it has happened a lot of times in the PL - I can imagine only Manchester United has ever done it.
