Ellis Rimmer Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 We should warn them all now if anyone leaves we're scrapping the academy. Make them feel guilty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Maybe Adedoyin if he stays fit and gets a runout in the first-team at some point. Started well in the u23s before injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bladeshater Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Look I would have kept grant and Shaw at the club but we have just raked in about £400.000 I wonder how much it actually cost to develop these two I just don't go with the shut the academy it's not that simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started well in the u23s before injury. They took a long look at him. I think he did well on trial but only scored 1 goal in the league. Supposed to have a lot of ability. Waldock's a lovely player. Hunt needs to come clean and say he's only 13yo really. If he can find something physically he'll be a proper player but it looks to be holding him back. I liked the look of Grant but it seems he couldn't wait to get away. Thompson and Reaney seem to be getting a run in the U23's. Hagan and Dawado seem to have been unlucky with injuries the last 18 months. Galvin seems to be doing OK. He hasn't let anyone down when he's played.

S72 Owl Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Losing 1 or 2 young players doesn’t have to be the end of the world, really we could do with Hirst and Shaw both going on to bigger and better things, because all of a sudden it would raise the profile of our academy.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire playing for our first team though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve just let Grant go who was highly rated at one time, and Penney and Urhoghide could be set to leave for free at the end of the season. But have we got anymore in the academy that people think could step up in the next season or two? So highly rated that they have one senior goal between the pair of them ! Shaw will outshine Hirst but there are no promises ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I think Waldock will be a very good player. No doubt he’ll probably be let go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong here, knowing our leader I probably am, but listening to NT we have put in some extra's in the deal. Maybe 25% of any transfer etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think so, but perhaps we included first refusal clause or Agreed buy back price or as you said will get % of any future transfer fee.?!

DC continues to show older players every time. It probably the reason we will have finance issues every season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Can’t let Urhoghide go too? He’s going to be a right player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
