Jimmy, Charlie,Razor,and Craig were part of Heighways dream team,Local lads and great players,but Benitez wanted top foreign kids(who in my opinion were not as good as these) and they were released and Heighway left.
Jimmy and Charlie were the best central midfielders at there age group,but liverpool retained Jay Spearing,who was a 5-5" centre back and turned him into a central midfielder.
You need a certain amount of luck and the coaches need to take a chance,you cant tell me these lads training with your Gerards,and and carraghers(who was a average midfielder) ever day could easily play at prem level,Look at Phil Jones at Blackburn,A centre back playing in midfield,is he better than Jimmy?,In my opinion not!!
What will hinder these lads progression is the lack of quality training facilities,that really needs addressing,
