Mind you, your mob are still raking in the money from charming old Roo, so youth development isn't much of a problem ;)

Indeed we are, we got an added bonus for them winning the Premiership too as part of the deal.

But Rooney seems to be the exception rather than the rule. Very few of the 'big' teams sport home grown talent any more but that is unfortunately only to be expected.

We have promising youngsters like Osman, Vaughn and Anichebe coming through the Goodison ranks which has been nice to see, but I fear it may be a long while before we unearth another prodigious talent as Rooney. And even if we did, it's painfully obvious that he will get snaffled by one of the big teams.

As a further comment on Dickie Wright;

THE GUY IS JUST TOO INJURY PRONE! I mean falling out of your loft is bad enough (a feat he managed a couple of seasons ago) but the classic was when he injured himself falling over a sign in the goalmouth during a pre-match warm up. And the sign read - 'Do not use the goal mouth during warm up'. Enough said. :rolleyes:
