SaintRam Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Going to include the U18s for ease as many will play in U21 games.

Keeping the likes of Colero and Kwame Thomas would I imagine have hindered their progress. Also interesting to note that of the under 21 players for next season. 10 will be 1st year professionals, 6 will be 2nd year professionals (if you include Max Lowe) and 2 will be 3rd year professionals. So it's a very young side. Should Alefe Santos be included as he now becomes an overage player? And being pedantic, Jamie Hanson would qualify as our 3rd 3rd year professional. 14 minutes ago, smiths_tavrn said: You'd also think that Derby would be trying to loan out the likes of Rawson, Bennett, Zanzala and Vernam. Then the average age of the squad becomes even younger, consisting of 10 1st year professionals and 4 second year professionals. Quite amazing statistics, smiths_tavrn. Being able to compete with players who are older is a great sign that they will be very good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramit Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 ÍBV 0 Víkingur 3 Charles Vernam (they call him Charlie) started the game in his usual position from what i can gather, attacking midfield. He got fouled once early in the game quite briskly but was okay. Reading between the lines of the in game text he is getting bullied off the ball quite often. Perhaps needs to toughen up if he is to handle this sometimes rough league where skill is nice but grit is important. Got subbed on 81 minutes.

Carl Sagan Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 On 05/20/2016 at 00:16, smiths_tavrn said: How long has the academy been going? In the teens of years I'd guess. Despite it being much vaunted, it's only produced (correct me if I've missed someone) 3 players of any note: Huddlestone, Hendrick and Hughes. Time for it to start delivering. If he hadn't been injured, Giles Barnes reminds me very much of Dele Alli. With his ability to score a steady supply of wonder goals, he was an even better academy product than Hughes. Hughes is England's 2nd youngest ever U21 international. Huddlestone was the best passer in the country and an England international. Hendrick is already a regular for the Republic and will play a big role for them this summer in the euros. We haven't benefited properly financially from selling academy graduates, but Huddlestone came through during the era of the three amigos so they did the dodgy deal with Spurs and shafted the club. I'm disappointed we weren't able to generate a fee for Calero (and maybe even Thomas as an England U20 international) instead of simply releasing them.

I've never understood why we don't sell these players in January, we must know the if we are keeping them on. If not sell them for a nominal fee to a smaller team, Notts county, Mansfield, burton (although not now) and stick a 50% sell on fee on them. If they make it great if not we haven't lost anything.
