We have produced a steady stream such as Byram, Mowatt, Cook, Taylor, Phillips, Vieira and before that the likes of Howson and Delph. However we have also had various players poached from us before they got anywhere near the first team, the likes of Garbutt at Everton, a couple of lads to Chelsea and Danny Rose at Tottenham. Add those and our youth production has been decent rather than spectacular.
Too easy to say that because we finished bottom all the players are sh*t. We may have had 16 year olds playing in an under 23 league for example and as such they would struggle. Likewise if we had 8 good players and 3 sh*t ones then the team would struggle.
Howson, Delph plus add Lennon & Milner was an awful long time ago who are all better than those who you mentioned in your first line
Byram, Cook, Taylor & Vieira haven't proved nothing of note at the highest level yet. Mowatt is playing his football at Barnsley
Phillips can't even pass a ball so I can't see him progressing far !
