Definitely should be going out for a few months in the conference to play mens football next year - doesn't matter if he scores goals, but he's got to get used to the physicality. I think he's above that level now. Walsall as a minimum, but I'd like to think a League 1 club might take him on for a bit, especially if we can give then the full season. Suspect Championship is a little high for him to get the games required, unless its a shit team - but we want him to get a few goals too, not just kicked about.

useless Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) Apparently there's been talk of some sort of link up with Shrewsbury's academy, plus our loans manager Adam Henshall has worked there previously, so wouldn't be surprised to see a few of our youngsters end up with them. Also after the recent signings from Bristol Rovers, wouldn't be surprised to see us help them out by loaning them a player or two. Normally I'd think Brad Young would have to go to non league, only because he hasn't even actually played that much U23 football, but his performances in the FA Youth Cup and with how high profile it is will possibly mean he gets a chance at an higher level.

Delphinho123 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Most of us talk about Ramsey, Barry, Kessler, Carney etc. but this lad really impressed me last night. He’s got another couple of years development, no doubt, but I’m positive that if he doesn’t make it here, he’ll fashion himself a good career in the lower leagues. Realistically, only one or two of the players on that pitch will go on to have a PL career and only a few more will make it as EFL footballers, that’s just the way it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Assumed he must be a Villan when he kissed the badge upon scoring. Confirmed in his interview in a pure Brummie accent. Like him even more now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, myself and Adam Henshall have bit in common. Michael Vernon took him to Shrewsbury as Analyst. Vern moved Tranmere with boss Micky Mellon and asked me to leave Crewe to join them at Tranmere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rare to hear a specific target being mentioned, and even rarer if it hasn't been met. Fair play to him. He has impressed me all season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messi11 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Maybe keep him at U23 level next season? We cant loan every one of them out lol otherwise we have no players for the u18,u23 sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted May 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 25, 2021 If he goes to a lower league club on loan he will smash it, his running and most of all the timing of his runs was pretty much perfect in the final. Any team with a player who can knock it into the channels for him will reap the rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 If he can stay fit I think the plan will be to play Shakpoke for the U23s next season, also think Barry who's younger than Young will also still be at the club still playing for the U23s with potential to make the bench and play in the league cup. Campton Sturridge will also be available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as you say, he isn't slow, but could do with work to add a little pace, which can be trained to a degree, but he'll never be lightening fast. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted July 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2021 I think that’s Brad Young next to AEG, does that mean he’s training with the first team or that just what they do in preseason? Or was he already training with the 1st’s with Carney Chuck and Jadon Philogene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
