Apart from Furlong, I cant think of another Dev player who has come through the ranks to be even close to first team standard (Defenders) in recent years.
Thats ideally what you want and the likes of Ziyad Larkeche and Esquerdinha dont look like they are going to make it.
Its a shame Larkeche's loan move came to such an abrupt end, it would have done him good and he would probably have been ok as a backup.

Massively obvious that we need a couple of big, dominant midfielders and possibly another left back if those two go. Again, I dont see many leaders on this team (sh7t houses) who can mix it up when the going gets tough.
If it is indeed true that he is our new keeper, here are some stats (from Google)
What Makes Him Good?
Elite Shot-Stopping: According to advanced metrics, he prevented nearly 8 goals over the course of the season that analytically "should" have gone in, thanks to excellent reflexes and short-range saving abilities.
Bold, Aggressive Style: Askou's tactical setup requires Ward to play high up the pitch as a sweeper-keeper and actively claim crosses. While it initially gave Motherwell fans anxiety, his aggressive aerial command (ranking in the 87th percentile for high claims) became a massive asset.
Distribution: He is highly trusted in possession, completing 82.9% of his passes and serving as an integral starting point for the team’s build-up play. Ward went from a backup signing on a free transfer to arguably the Goalie of the Year in Scotland, earning links to massive clubs like Celtic and securing a contract extension through 2027. He is very much the real deal.
Couldnt find many highlight reels other than this....
6'2, so not a massive keeper. Started as 3rd choice for Well and before that was playing in Finland.
