If I recall correctly, Winks is the only youth player that has been promoted into the seniors by Poch (I do not include the occasional bench warmers like Onomah, Edwards and co). Players like Bentaleb, Townsend and Mason he inherited from Sherwood's / AVB's reign, where they were then moved on. My point is the myth Poch promoted and encouraged the youth was exactly that, a myth.
He did it at Southampton though I think? Unless they too were in fact blooded by their previous manager?
