there are obviously different ways of getting players and once there are on the park doing a job it doesn't matter where they came from. lasley and hammell both joined in their late teens and faddy was at hibs for a while i think.
i'm just saying that for all the resources we put into coaching boys under the age of 16 it would be good to get some end product from that department. dundee united, killie, hearts, aberdeen and hibs all seem to be doing that better than us at the moment.
