New season. New opportunities.
The best unsigned players.
Are living their dreams.
And playing for their futures.
This season
The stakes are higher.
This summer we've been very active looking for players in Europe.
Germany, France, Italy, Spain...
Their technical ability stands out.
But talent is just a bit-part of being a professional footballer.
Attitude is 80 per cent, talent is 20.
So you need a big heart, a real big heart.
This year is going to be different.
Whereas before players were here for a year
now there's no guarantee beyond a month.
As we go through the season
we'll be holding trials throughout the world.
It will be an opportunity for more players to join us.
In the last 2 years, 44 players have come through the Academy
and 19 are now playing somewhere professionally,
Players like Tom Rogic at Celtic, *** Accam in Sweden.
The main aim is to get these boys out the door as quickly as possible
into the professional game throughout the world.
You are in a performance programme. If you don't perform
we will replace you.
