Very much so

An upside of this ridiculous situation with tomorrow's game is that young players will see that whatever our needs as a club we don't stand in the way of young (or any) players selected for their country who want to play on the international stage. No mystery hammy pulls which suddenly clear up for the next competitive game from us.

We've also history of playing academy products in the first team in the Premier League, and proactively developing them through loans and close monitoring and the rest of it.

Not just yellow and green glasses: I honestly think we're an excellent proposition for young talent at the minute, and the academy's Cat I status and the matches the youngsters consequently play in is a draw as well.
