@owlstalk Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 The two clubs are still after him and pursuing him and to make Wednesday more nervous, Cadamarteri hasn't put his signature on the dotted line here yet and talks have slowed a little. He says he wants to stay by the way, and has a full year of his scholarship remaining here. 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fablon Dunlop Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 A lot to weigh up, I'm sure. Chances are that he could be looking at first team football here next season. Is he likely to get that at West Ham or Brentford? Very likely not. Money talks, though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 It's a positive that we have good young players attracting interest. Possibly would be more concerning if nobody interested in them, our academy shows continued signs of improving following years of neglect (pre dating Chansiri). Hopefully he stays and we can see his development progress. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, it shows (would show?) that clubs like West Ham can do what others have done successfully before them and hoover up anyone who can kick a ball just in case they turn out good. I just looked at the income of West Ham, their last income figures were over £220m for the year. They are the third best supported club in England and spending £1m on a player that may or may not come good is small change to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Where is everyone getting that cadamarteri is anywhere near the first team here I see loads of experts saying he’s going to be used on bench, be in the first team squad. best he’s going to get which will be great for him is he might train with the first team in preseason he’s a young talent, playing above his age groups and doing well with huge potential. That doesn’t mean he’s anywhere near ready for first team football yet certainly not in the next 12 months I’d even be surprised if he made a match day squad in the pizza cup remember when we tried George Hirst who was doing the business in youth football and older then cadamateri he looked like a competition winner on the pitch nowhere near ready 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, rarely (before the Hirst debacle) did EPL clubs bother with our academy IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Our track record with getting youngster to stay has been poor in recent years. But our record of taking talent kids and developing them into first team players has been even worse. I hope we have learnt our lesson from the historic balls up and i hope he stays and is allowed to develop, but I wont be surprised if he end up at another club. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan_Pepper Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Always interesting when these stories come around during negotiation time. Got to love football agents, either making this stuff up to try for more money or actually touting him around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Sign for a Premier League club with fantastic training and Youth facilities. Sign for Wednesday with ******** poor facilities. No brainer unfortunately. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's an area of the team that needs a complete overhaul and at least 3 new faces compared to last year - and that's based on Gregory staying. I don't think there's any harm at taking a look at Cadamarteri from a first team perspective and seeing what he's got. I also don't think it's about pretending he's going to play 20+ games next year, but about showing the player that there's a pathway towards the first team - starting with training and maybe the odd minutes this year. This time next year he will be 18, and at that point first team football is going to be a real conversation for him, either with us (if god forbid we are still in this league) or via a loan move if he joins a Premiership academy now. George Hirst is an interesting name to bring up. Most of his best development has happened in the league we're in right now, and according to some recent threads and posts on here lately, now looks a player many on here wish we could sign. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrysgame Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 He will go, not a difficult choice really...worst that happens gets to train at 1st class facilities and well rewarded. If it doesn't work out would then easily get another league 1 club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
