Youf/Academy Thread

[Art Vandelay_]

Will be captain one day.

Cricket tour to Bristol is next week and he's pussied out. Something about not wanting to be with us in the age of social media

Maybe he was worried y'all would give him the Rooney treatment.
I wouldn't trust Pommie lads either

Not a bad debut for yet another academy gem. Looks a top prospect.

 

[DBAH0]

Signed from Celtic, doing well so far....



Cruyff14 see the score also....

 

[RossFC]

Heard that there is a new rule with airing U23s and U18s games. Any game scheduled at a similar time to a prem game, can not be aired.

Wasn't on TV but the city app showed our U18's derby at the same time United were playing Leeds.

Whoops maybe it's just U23s when they refer to PL2. Liverpool vs Man City U23s wasn't aired anywhere for example.

Yeah there's huge wraps on him and fair bit of chat he's already good enough for a squad spot with us but we see the Championship as a bit of a finishing school for the youf. Really toughens them up.

Under 18s up and about.

Just a list of guys who will be strung along on endless loans before ending up at some midtable team in a decent league.

Just a list of guys bought from other academies.

 

[chef]

Sounds like Trev Chalobah will get a 5 year deal and will save us some money in the transfer market too with no need to buy a CB(I hope).

 

[Bradesmaen]

I mean Brentford have no academy...

Everyone comes from another academy though. A lot of these kids are signed before their 10th birthdays(like most clubs) and some come later.

I know but it's about teams own academy graduates

I guess it depends how long you have to be in an academy to be counted. Everyone will see it different.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

I don't consider a player an academy graduate unless they're conceived and born at the club.

What I mean was... They are players who were at the academy of the team they were in the match day squad. I thought that would be obvious from the picture

Yeah I still dont get the issue haha, of our six 5 we're at the club as 8 year old and the other joined as a 14 year old. Not a bad effort.

I think I misread in my hangover state what you quoted haha. I thought you quoted about Brentford

Yep left footed center back, he's one I think could be playing Premier League football next season for sure.

Yep agree, he'll get a prem loan next season imo.

Being left footed CB too is such a bonus, they are like hens teeth. What we need bad.
