OutByEaster? Posted November 22, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 22, 2022 I think another thing to keep in mind is that whether the player is a Villa fan or not, at fifteen or sixteen, his parents are going to end up having a big say in the decision on where he ends up.

The_Steve Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 We are signing Cole Brannigan from Linfield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Just googled Brannigan and has been linked with Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Leeds in the media recently, he had a trial at Man City with Alan Nixon claiming they were desperate to sign him. So seems he has a big reputation in youth football at the moment, he's also a Northern Ireland youth international. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Northern Ireland Under-16 winger is one of the hottest properties in the country and has been linked with Premier League champions Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Leeds United but the Belfast Telegraph understands the Villa Park club have moved into pole position to land the talented youngster. The Blues will receive a fee for Brannigan, who came through their Academy, with suggestions that Villa will pay around £150,000 plus adds on for a player many at Windsor Park feel has the ability and attitude to be a hit in England. It is believed the move will be completed in the summer. More in link... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our recruiting at that level seems brilliant Think its Harrison mostly . Alot of our recruits are blown away by how much we know about them apparently. Which i think helps with parents putting their trust in us with their kids . From what i have read they do detailed presentations on the proepects that show their weaknesses as well as strengths. It seems a well oiled machine but with a personal touch. And then they get to walk round the academy training facilities to top it all off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 There's a report on the official site, doesn't give much details, but Triston Rowe scored our other goal. Our U16s, U17s, and U18s, have all topped their respective groups in the Premier League Cup, would be nice to see at least one of them win the whole thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
