davenportram Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Gonna say it before someone else does... No way would Clough have heard of him... nor Bunjaku. Why because he's Brazillian? Lived in uk since a kid and played all his football in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenkinson Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I only want to see signings of "PROVEN QUALITY" who can immediately seal a place in the starting 11 from now on... Yeah, we already have quality in Lee Naylor and Zak Whitbread. Development team as a priority now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 No, because his scouting network is terrible and he hasn't either played for him or been in some form of lower league team of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Yeah, we already have quality in Lee Naylor and Zak Whitbread. Development team as a priority now. My god you've turned snatching a player from the grasps of a premier. League team and a team who will be in the champs league next season from a brilliant piece of business to a board out campaign. Lighten up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Another "development" player who will never play for the first team. Third pointless signing of the summer after Mitchell and Bunjaku. We were pretty lucky with injuries last season. Way to write these kids off before having a proper look at them. Even if they don't make it into the first team, who's to say we don't loan them out and make a bit of cash? Ironic that you have such complaints about the developers, when your display pic is Will Hughes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 It was my point. Is this Benik Alofe better than Mason Bennett? Is Mitchell drastically better than Morch, Etheridge or Behrens? Is that Bunjaku miles better than Max Lowe or Callum Guy. I think not. Why bother to sign them if they to be released in a 2 years time. Waste. And how would you know whether they are not a) currently better or b) going to develop to become better? Are you a world-renowned coach, scout or troll?

davenportram Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 No, because his scouting network is terrible and he hasn't either played for him or been in some form of lower league team of the season. Neither had Bryson, Forsyth, Russell, Martin, Sammon, Jacobs, The other Martin, Cwyka, Ward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maydrakin Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 My strong bet i will never do. What about those clowns from Barcelona, wasting their time on a young kid from Newell's Old Boys?? Glad we didn't waste our time and resources on that Messi - we'd only have to have released him two years later. The whole point of a DEVELOPMENT squad is to pick up a group of players that you'd hope will benefit from working in our squad and hopefully some may grasp their chance when offered it. Will Hughes, Jeff Hendrick and the likes took their chance. Many others won't, but to not try and build cheap first team players is idiotic and short termist at best.

kingsy1884 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Yeah, we already have quality in Lee Naylor and Zak Whitbread. Development team as a priority now. Blimey get a grip pal and lighten up. Even if one of these players turns into anything like Will Hughes it will immediately pay off. I doubt their wages or OTT anyway. #inmacwetrust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewetube Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Can instantly bond with Bunjaku over a discussion about whether they're foreign or not. Bunjaku could be the Santos little helper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are being too pessimistic, be happy that the team you support actually offers opportunities for young players and helps them develop unlike a lot of teams that throw silly money at someone who is "proven" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwram1973 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Yeah, spot on! We have a great record of players broke to the first team from develpment squad. Hoganson, Naylor, Pringle, Prijovic.

Ambitious Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 From someone claiming to know him..I feel like, with him about to join Hull City, I should let you people know a little bit about Alefe, or Al as I used to call him. Al joined the Rovers academy when I was just a youngster, and he played in my age group right the way up until U16s, when I was released. Al was kept on, and made it all the way to the senior team, and, quite frankly, I'm ecstatic for him. The thing that people need to understand about Al is that he LOVES football. He's not one of those that plays for money, and shows a lack of interest in winning. He is obsessed with everything to do with the sport. He would play for peanuts if given the chance, because money, to him, is just a bonus. He's all about the game, and he works ridiculously hard every SINGLE day to be the best. His fitness training was more intense than anybody else I knew, because he wants to be the best. He's not content with being average. What I love about him, though, is that he's also a kind human being as well. He was the friendliest and most compassionate player I knew, and he didn't dish out criticism or insults to his teammates, which is something that even I was a culprit of. Now, with Al about to join the big leagues, I want people to know that he deserves to be the best, whether he does become so or not. He's taught me a heck of a lot about the game, and I'd love to think that I taught him a thing or two of my own! I love you Al, and I hope you're a success.
