StockholmRam Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 A while back I was " asked" very informally to let the club know if I came across any talented young players out this neck of the woods. Other than my normal job I coach a decent standard ( think Swedish conference and for 1 season league one...but not quite as good as England) and can spot a player...As it happened I knew of one young lad, a friends son, who back then was playing International u15 level in Sweden. I mentioned this to the club and they told me to keep them updated which I did.Young uns career just got better and better.. he signed for a Swedish prem team..was made capt of national u16 team who trounced Italy and Spain in a euro tournament...Spoke to his dad alot about Derby and he and his lad would have been happy to talk to the club knowing what a great academy we have. His dad is from Cheshire so he would have had family close by. Spoke to Darren Wassall on numerous occasions..even told him the lad would be excited to get looked at by Derby and considered. They never did come to see him..or talk to him... He signed for Bayern Munich this week. I think he is a player thats going to be very special... Our loss I feel.

Seems strange they wouldn't act on anything if they did ask you. You done anything else for the club at all and how did you come to be involved?Sorry if this is common knowledge, I'm old/new.

rynny Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Is it this fellow @StockholmRam? http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/fotboll/internationell/tyskland/article21182128.abIf so, a bit on Bayern forum, not much on it about him.http://www.bayernzone.com/transfers/4253-transfer-wishlist-2015-16-a-97.htmlGood luck to the lad and hope he makes it!!

StockholmRam Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Thats him Rynny.... he is very grounded young fella and has a great attitude towards everything coming his way. Continues his education aswell incase things dont work out. This was the only one I suggested to DCFC Worksop... there are a couple of agents in UK I speak to every now and then regarding Swedish players but to be honest the very best are gone from this country now by aged 15...

RamNut Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 You probably should have mentioned it to chris evans rather than wassall.i see henrik larsson's son is playing in sweden.....aged 18...he looks like he might make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockholmRam Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Jordan Larsson stepped up to first team football this season at Helsingborg where his dad is first team coach. He has done fantastic so far in his youth career but the pressure must be huge on him as son of Henrik... His first season he got a few goals and played well. He plays in the same Jnr national team where my friends lad is captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send this information to Sam Rush or put it up on suggestions to the Club.I have always believed that local people are well aware of local talent.A more formal arrangement with this army of scouts could save us and make us a lot of money.

StockholmRam Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Video Clips and reports translated from Google might be good StockholmRamI think that he signed for Bayern Munich should be enough evidence really. I really feel we have lost the chance of a top youngster here. Not saying he would have ended up with us..but was worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW is Wassall's son any good or is nepotism alive and well in DCFC academy?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StockholmRam Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Man City invited him over for a trial, but he chose to go to Bayern.His whole family are Man Utd in pretty much the same way as everyone on here is DCFC... his lifelong dream so far is to play for MUFC...Another reason for Bayern Munich being chosen would be due to the influence of Bjorn Andersson. Anyone remember Bjorn.. Terry Yorath finished his career with a crass tackle in 1975 European Cup final Leeds v Bayern Munich. He works with the youth at BM and is very well respected in the game. Bjorn is Swedish so that must bare some influence on the outcome.Im not saying he would have come to DCFC but for crying out loud come and have a look when offered. I certainly wasnt joking about how good he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
