Salmonbones Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 One of those on your list has a relative who lives on my road and is a friend of my wife. That fact adds nothing to this thread, it's just a boast post. Actually that relative gave my son a signed shirt - apologising to my lad saying sorry it's not a Wednesday shirt, but it was a shirt he'd played an international game in so it went down well regardless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Yes our youth set up is shocking and has been for years, like almost every other aspect of the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Guest Posted March 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) All the teams around Yorkshire have 21st century youth complexes, modern day scouting Wednesday are stuck in the 1990s Plus we never give youth a chance Except the early rounds of the cups Rather tieing players like Shaw down DC would rather throw another few million at rubbish like bannan and Hutchinson Edited March 31, 2021 by Sticky Micky 6 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83owl Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 We’ve been absolutely crap on and off the pitch for over a quarter of a century. The fact these lads have had some success shows they’ve had nothing to do with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouts have ties to the top clubs in South Yorkshire Junior Sunday League A Division. I was involved with one of the top clubs and I had a good relationship with the Owls scout. I called him often about several players. Other clubs knew other scouts. Player’s families had affiliations to junior clubs...historically. They’d take 12 - 15 of your best players at any time that suited them and maybe one of the lads would make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl91 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) To add, three of them the pigs sold them all for a combined fee of less than £9m. One has since gone for £80m, one for £50m and the other worth about £50m. Edited March 31, 2021 by WhiteOwl91 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eightbelow Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Wednesday's youth development program has under performed for 20+ years. We should scrap it and have a U18 team and U23 team made up of premier league cast offs that we can pick up at the exit trials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one of the reasons there manager gave for leaving was there crap training facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire all that will have got them will be £1.2m then from the Hull to Leicester transfer? Walker about £5m. Calvert Lewin might never move! So all in all they sold 3 players who go on to play for England and 2 of the biggest clubs in the world for tops £15m? I’m not surprised Calvert lewin wasn’t pulling up any trees at 17/18 in league 1. At that age it isn’t about goals scored it’s about potential, which clearly Everton saw in him.

(Only problem is we would have let contracts run out and made £1 million at best ) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
