edwinowl Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Released by Mansfield today. Lad binned us off for Bolton way back. Still a young man really and to be fair I saw him a few times for the stags and he was decent. Uncertain future for many footballers ahead.

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 At least that’s one fewer Stags Legend to face in our summer pre-seasons match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 With our record of promoting youth to the first team who can honestly blame him ? He was first choice RB for couple of years and they hardly released him becouse they think he is a poor player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have promoted a fair few over the years, most however haven’t gone on to do anything better.

Rory McArdle has had an ok career over 400 appearance at league 1 and 2 and Scottish Premiership level and played for his country a few times. Most fans in the stands would be happy with that if they were offered the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Don’t get why we are so precious about things like this. At the time the lad thought it was the best move for him. Hasn’t worked out. Chances are it wouldn’t have worked out if he stayed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we have a decent track record of bringing them through don’t we. Just most of them aren’t good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make it sound like we have all these fantastic young prospects who are continually ignored by club management. You know, like we have the class of 92 knocking about, but would rather pay Adthe. As rightfully pointed out, we've promoted a number of young players from the first team to the senior side. Some have had decent careers, others failed to make the grade. It isn't like Football Manager where you get one or two superstars coming through each season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is that we are not producing talent and that for years we are one of clubs that are least likely to play under 23 players that came through our academy/development sides. This year we were bottom of the pile. Most young players given choice would rather sign for club that got reputation for playing and developing young players and we have non. Btw. Thinking that players who failed here were never good enough because they failed to make careers in the game after leaving is so wrong. Seen it plenty of times. Then again I'm from different country where football and youth development is seen different, so I fully understand how my views are largely non appreciated on here.

Geary made his debut in 2000 but Geary, Quinn came from Irish Junior football when they were 17/18 and Bromby didn't joint until 18 from Liversedge so you could argue that the list is even worse!
