Celtic's strategy is clearly working but can't go on forever. The only option to really continue the buy young and sell on strategy is if we start to buy them at 16, 17 or 18 years old and bring them through the youth system! We won't be able to keep finding undiscovered talent that is affordable and can step up to the level required at Celtic.
We have to start getting more success from the youth system. Henderson looks a good player but all too often we have good players break into the team and then get injured or sent out on loan and disappear! We MUST improve our rate of youth players into the first team.
Marcus Fraser, Liam Henderson, Filip Twardzik, Patrik Twardzik, Dylan McGeouch, Joe Chalmers, O'Connell, Stuart Findlay, Callum McGregor, Lewis Toshney, John Herron, Paul George, Bahrudin Atajic, Jackson Irvine - all of these young players have either been on the bench or made an appearance or out on loan and considered top prospects, but how many are actually going to make it? I may have even missed a few. All of these players are on the books at Celtic and are just some of the more senior players expected to make the step up, there are even more younger players of which big things are expected!
