of course they would.

Have you no knowledge of Norwich City's history?

Every NCFC manager, when faced with a diamond in the Youth / Academy, has utilised them.

And even if they weren't a diamond, the vast majority have been given a chance.

But go on, name me a young player that has left NC because of a lack of pathway who has gone on to a better level. You might come up with a couple, but that's about it.

FWIW My thoughts on Webber (NCFC) - Chopper, Oct 13, 13:47:20
- Part of the problem is that he was very, very successful (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 13, 17:36:11
  - Such as when ? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Oct 13, 17:44:25
    - He has never - to my knowledge (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 13, 18:33:49

        That’s a different argument though … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 13, 18:55:03
        
        That is precisely your argument. (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 13, 19:18:51
        
        Yes but the coaching and pathway is massive … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 13, 19:27:06
        
        How much of that is just xfer fee inflation? (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Oct 14, 00:24:08
        
        yeah, cos no other players have ever been converted (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 13, 19:40:57
        
        as for Ben Godfrey's conversion (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 13, 20:07:49
        
        It’s not just the pathway it’s poor coaching … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 13, 20:00:36
        
        well then, give me examples (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 13, 20:09:54
        
        And back then in Bellamy, eadie times we had an excellent reputation … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 13, 19:31:15
        
        I think whether the academy has improved remains open to debate (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 13, 19:07:59
        
        Guess there’s Andy O, Rowe, springett etc but as above… (NCFC) - loz, Oct 13, 19:30:00
        
        it is a very complicated sit-ua-shun (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 13, 19:29:22
- I more or less agree but hope we replace wisely (NCFC) - jAC, Oct 13, 17:14:38
- Yes (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 13, 13:54:37
  - I'm assuming we would lose Zoe as well so it might be.. (NCFC) - usacanary, Oct 13, 15:34:14
    - Zoe was at NCFC when Stuart was at Huddersfield (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 13, 16:17:08
      - Yes, although I did get the feeling from an interview a while ago.... (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 13, 16:30:49
        
        what are you expecting her to say? (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 13, 16:39:29
        
        It’s meant to say stay ? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Oct 13, 16:42:59
