AndyClarke Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Odutayo hadn't stepped up with the tactical side of the game, he can run and has some ability but not the awareness of the game to make him into a Premier League footballer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, random quote about being a "game killer" or something from one of his former coaches which is often mentioned but never did anything to live up to that at this level. Quite a big lad when he was in the younger age group which got him games in the older age group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 We've been drawn in group A with Carlise United, Fleetwood Town and Sunderland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 That link to Chrisene is over two weeks old now, we haven't actually confirmed any of these young players that we're meant to be signing, still waiting on news on all O'Reilly, Swinkles, Bogarde, McBride, Chrisene and Shakpoke. Swinkles is the only one that looks like it's deffinitely happening. Still most important thing I feel was to get Chuckwuemeka's and Philogene-Bidace's contracts sorted out. I think it's going to be interesting to see who out of the older youngsters get loans, likes of Walker, Callum Rowe, Dominic Revan, Bridge, Brunt, Clarke, Vassilev, Wright, Archer and maybe a few others could do with getting some senior level experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Transfermarkt have Swinkels as part of our u/18 squad, so I assume that has happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Another great addition to our youth setup. This is a really exciting time for the future of this club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 This part of Exeter's Article about Chrisene leaving to join our academy if particularly pleasing to read: Speaking about the fee itself though, president and director of football and external affairs, Julian Tagg praised Aston Villa for their professional approach and fairness during the transfer dealing. “Whilst the fee is undisclosed, when a possible arbitration fee is considered we are pleased with the valuation,” he said. “Aston Villa have been very professional and fair in their dealings with Exeter City and we as a club would like to acknowledge that. And from our own Academy Manager, Mark Harrison: "I would like to thank the owners, board & CEO for their support in bringing talent like Ben’s to #AVFC & for their ongoing backing for a thriving and successful academy." This is really encouraging for improving our academy going forward. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have indeed, interesting prospect as he would clearly be a nightmare for u16 and probably u18.
