The real question is whether any of these players will ever actually play for the first team.
 
Well they certainly played well in that Final against Villa.
How that will translate to being Full Time Pros is another question.
Even then it's doubtful how many will actually be good enough enough for the Premier League.

Choudhury always looks good to me, and perhaps will be included in some of the Pre season friendlies to see how he shapes up with the first team players.

How long until he's playing for Corby then?

Yes,well, that's one way of acknowledging a young player's success I guess.

I think I'll settle for "nice" and not predicting his future.

Indeed, it was rather cynical.

We've had plenty of players represent England at youth level who go onto achieve very little.

Our academy is rather poor in regards to producing top level pros

Or treated as a brat by some fans, like Gray, because he wants to play in the first team which sucks.

In general just putting a random bunch of talented footballers together often does not work very well.

Good teams are more than the sum of their parts, as our 15/16 team showed.

Successful integration of talented, but inexperienced young players is one of the great managerial skills.

What did the almost exact team of 16/17 show? That glory can go to some people's heads? That work ethic is more important than skill level? That parts can deteriorate?

You are dead right, what happened could never have been predicted. Something just clicked, the players, the management, the owners, no one could have planned that year. Can it be repeated? That is the question, we all hope the City can win it, but without that mysterious element I doubt it will happen, however we have proved that it can be done, another 'small ' club winning the league would really upset the apple-cart and may bring some sense back to a crazy league, where money dominates.
