Posted January 24, 20169 yr 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.
January 24, 20169 yr One for development squad then? Doesnt fill one with much excitement.... we signed a shed load under mclaren and none got or getting a sniff.... bunjaku gone.... calero koblenz etc never been given a chance either....

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.
January 24, 20169 yr These guys we are getting are for the youth teams, not even development squad at this stage.

Obviously you think that having an academy is a complete and utter waste of time.

Calero got a game and a goal in last season's capital one cup. But agree they haven't got near the league squad.
January 24, 20169 yr Author 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.

But they were all older, and not for the academy.
January 25, 20169 yr 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.
January 25, 20169 yr 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.
January 25, 20169 yr http://lionofviennasuite.sbnation.com/2015/9/11/9309707/meet-boltons-teenage-prodigy-alexander-samizadeh Good story on Alex

I saw he's retweeted the article about him being tracked by Derby & spotted at Moor Farm, which sounds promising!
January 25, 20169 yr are you sure he didn't come to Bolton via Africa, he looks a good 40ish, he is not related to Taribo West is he ?
January 25, 20169 yr Look out for the puns when he plays such as "Iran the length of the pitch" or " he is Tehraning with the first team" I'll get me coat
