Carl Sagan Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 17-year-old forward from Notlob, ex of Man City, born in Iran, been spotted at Moor Farm and looks to be on the way to joining us: http://www.burndenaces.co.uk/2016/01/24/bolton-hotshot-samizadeh-courted-by-derby-county.html Has been prolific for their U18s. Not sure if this is one where we're allowed to nick a player because of our Category A status, or if a fee would be involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't really for the development squad as they were an older group. We are doing it right now and getting better quality at an earlier age to develop because of our academy status.

Srg Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 These guys we are getting are for the youth teams, not even development squad at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you think that having an academy is a complete and utter waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calero got a game and a goal in last season's capital one cup. But agree they haven't got near the league squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Of the current academy: Farrend Rawson (19) is in the Championship with Rotherham Mason Bennett (19) is top of League One with Burton Offrande Zanzala (19) is in League Two with Stevenage Shaquille McDonald (20) is in the National League with Halifax Town Max Lowe (18) will be around the first team when fit Jamie Hanson (20) is around the first team That doesn't include the likes of Will Hughes (20) as he's so estalished as a first-teamer and the second youngest England U21 international in history.

Think having an academy is fundamental to a club. My point is the players that were signed under mclaren.... and there was a fair few of them.... non been given the chance. Agreed hughes hanson and later hopefully lowe... have broke into first team and been a success but they are rare cases and none of them were actually signed to my knowledge and came through the ranks.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Those who come into the first team squad should either be absolute stand out on a regular basis for the U21's or have been impressive regulars at L1 or above on loan. The first team squad isn't the place to bring on just above average players at U21 level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The appearance of bringing players through is a waste of time. Hanson should be playing in the U21s if he is not too old. he can still train with the first team squad. Getting into U21 Division One is vital so that they can play against better players. If not good enough then they will not be playing in the Premier, will they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
