Pryce probably the wrong comparison - he has been a star throughout the youth levels and could be a once in a generation kind of player.
However, I agree on all the other points. I honestly think Abdull and Litten would massively improve us at the moment - players who Radford gave away. Our retention has been poor and done on sentiment rather than performance.
I think there are some promising kids coming through. Barron, Staveley, Burrell, Ferreira etc. so hopefully with the training centres we are strategically placing across the country, that can aid with the scouting of youth

Abdull always had the potential to be a very good player and we should have kept him. I for one was disappointed when we let him go. Many people will disagree with me and I hate to say it but I believe he offers much more as a playmaker than Sneyd. I wasn't that bothered when Litten went to Rovers but with the new rules he's just the type of dynamic hooker we need.
Lots of work needed in the off season. Hopefully Pearson finds a magic money tree to finance the overhaul the squad. We have a lot a players in their late 20's early 30's but don't have appear to have enough quality coming through to challenge them.
