'Anthem For Doomed Youth'

Liverpool FC's Academy is world famous. Producing young stars like Steven Gerrard, Michael Owen and lately Daniel Pacheco and Emiliano Insua. The site in Kirkby has been the home to many young players since it was built in 1998, leaving Melwood as the reachable dream.
As the young are snapped up quick in modern football, they are promised much and encouraged to dream as richly as they can. The top of the game is theirs for the taking, the cup wins, the glory and the money. But have we let ourselves down at Liverpool FC?
Yes, it is still one of the premier clubs to train in as a young player, but do we have what it takes to offer them the dream they crave?
This summer has seen the club sell or try to sell several of it's young stars. Eniliano Insua very nearly made the switch to Serie A, talks broke down over personal terms with Fiorentina. Krisztián Németh, a very talented finisher, from Hungary, sold for purely financial reasons, Liverpool FC stated. Mikel San José Dominguez, sold to Athletic Bilboa, another talented youngster who wanted away. Daniel Pacheco, the star of the U-19 European Championships, finished top goal scorer, scoring in the final, has courted a transfer back to Spain. Chris Mavinga, the rising talent from PSG, has revealed dissatisfaction at not being picked despite winning the U-19 European Championships.
It seems that the youngsters are rebeling with the departure of Rafa Benitez, a man who must have promised them much only to be sacked. Is it only natural for these players to want to transfer away or do they hold bitterness towards a club who promised much but can only deliver a little.
With the sale of Nemeth to Olympiacos, we see a sale garnered purely for financial reasons, something not that familiar at Liverpool a few years ago.
What we have to be realisic about is that our youth are going to want to catch the glory and currently at Liverpool FC, we can't offer them that. I'm sure the years ahead will be much more fruitful, but I can't help wondering if the youth will be far gone by then.
