Presumably you mean Dan Brown ?
The problem with kids of that age and may have been the case with Chris Turner is that they have to show the potential at the time the decisions are being made, and with any 16 yr old in any walk of life some take a bit longer to learn than others.
Sometimes the knock back may just make them try a bit harder. I suspect a lot of the young kids think because they have been signed on youth terms they have made it, far from it, very few actually do make it.
In some ways it's harder for people like Adam Kay who was given his first contract as a pro yet not had a chance becasue of the successful season at Burnley. How the eck are you supposed to impress the boss in those circumstances ? It's one of the reasons they go out on loan but of course the recent run Stanley have had means he hasn't had a chance there yet either.
Does anybody know if the Stanley youth team have anybody likely to stay on ?
