OutByEaster? Posted March 4, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 4, 2020 JPB linked to Citeh in the local rag today - hopefully just paper talk, but he's out of contract in the summer and we could do with tying him to a new deal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaden Philogene-Bidace- A 17 year old winger we signed from Pro Direct academy, I saw him quite a quite a bit for our u18s.

That's us buggered then. Really hope we manage to get him to sign but if those sharks are lurking we'll have to give him a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope we manage to get him to sign but if those sharks are lurking we'll have to give him a great deal. That might also be his agent. Always seems to happen when any club is trying to tie down a promising youngster to a contract. Every now and then they do leave but more often than not it's just the agent trying for the best deal by releasing this "info" to the press. Troy Parrott was linked with Bayern in January before signing his new contract. Hudson-Odoi last year, was linked with Bayern and Dortmund. For every Sancho there are countless others who go nowhere. At the end of the day, they are 17/18 year olds and making that jump to a foreign club when maybe they have a nice set up here, close to family etc. is a big decision.

sparrow1988 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Just now, lexicon said: Spurs and Chelsea have more to offer than us though tbf. True, but if you're talking about getting a chance for first team football as a youngster and Dortmund are seriously interested then it's a no brainer compared with Chelsea or Spurs (at least now with Mourinho) although Lampard has shown he's willing to give youth a go at times this season. Even Bayern afford youngsters more chances than PL clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Considering it seems almost certain we are down, I wonder how many of our youth might get a chance next season? (Ie: bench players) Barry, Kesler, chuck, vassilev, archer, Ramsey(s), Bridge??? Thoughts? Would be good to see at least a couple of our high potential youth players getting some run outs next year.

BOF Posted July 20, 2020 Author Moderator Share Posted July 20, 2020 So Kaine Kesler the right back and Kaine Hayden the midfielder seem to be the same person. Kaine Kesler-Hayden the right back That sorts out one DOB, and fmtransferupdate now has Chukwuemeka's DOB. So the next thread will have all current squad DOBs. Just need to know who is in the league. I'm assuming they'll promote United from 2nd place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 20, 2020 Moderator Share Posted July 20, 2020 I'm guessing they'll delay kick off in this league to sync up with the start of first team football, although I'm not sure there's that much of a need - in theory we could start next season in a fortnight.

OutByEaster? Posted August 2, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 2, 2020 The more I think about this, the more I think there's really no reason they shouldn't be starting this league this week. Our first team U23 players will have gone without competitive football for six months by the time we restart; that can't be good for their development. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
