malek Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 5 hours ago, Bluesteel. said: The best thing we can do and seem to be doing, is show him a clear route through to the first team in the short term. He’s already been training with them and playing u23 football at 16. If he moved elsewhere he’s just another prospect on a decent wage but might not play first team football for some time and need various loans. Whereas playing where he’s settled and with family around might actually accelerate his career or potential earnings in the medium term as anyone buying him (assuming he’s successful) would be buying him as a first team player on bigger wages. Completely different approach to one we took with George Hirst. Even if Cadamarteri decide to leave the club and sign for one of Premier League sides after him it will be hard to blame the club as I feel we are doing everything right We can to keep him here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only got to look at the likes of Urhoghide and Shaw to see it’s not always wise to follow the money early on. Yeah, those eye infections can break a player !

(Genuine question) As far as I understand, he could play for us, but I can't see it happening. We'll be flapping the rest of the season and won't be able to take any risks. Not sure, if I read that correctly, therefore here the original wording from the efl page. 43.3 Where any new registration or transfer of a Player is received by The League after 5pm on the fourth Thursday in March in each Season, that Player will not be eligible to play in any match organised by The League in that Season, except as permitted in Regulation 57. Guidance The fourth Thursday in March is the traditional ‘transfer deadline day’ and remains in place to ensure Clubs cannot add to their squad for the final remaining fixtures of a Season thus impacting on the integrity of the competition in those final stages. This deadline is also used in other contexts – see for example the requirements on full strength sides in Regulation 24.1. Academy Players will not be caught by this restriction in respect of non-first team matches. However, Clubs will not be permitted to register an Academy Player after this date and then utilise him in League Matches. 43.4 A Registered Player is one who has signed an appropriate registration form or forms and/or contract (such signature to be witnessed by a second person) and whose registration has been approved by The League. Notwithstanding the foregoing, only those Academy Players over the age of 15 years on 1 September in any given Season may play football for a Club’s first team in that Season, and then may only do so with the written permission of his Parent, his school’s head teacher and the approval of The League.

(Genuine question) He can play in the first team without a pro contract. But whether he’s been physically ready is another question. He’s definitely bulked up in recent months. Hopefully we get to see him during pre-season and it’ll set him up for some senior football next season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
