Mennell was, by definition, "decent", in order to have been playing in our Academy in the first place.
The question every club has to answer for each Academy product is whether, at the relevant time, they are able to step up to SL, and if there is a reasonable slot to step into.
It is no condemnation of Mennell, or any Academy product, that he is plying his trade elsewhere, it clearly doesn't mean we thought he was crap, and it is just as simple as this, some you keep, some you don't.
Some learn their trade elsewhere and then come back bigger faster and better for the experience. You never know.
