We are also the highest category academy aren't we? Can we refuse or if the prospect wants to go we cannot do anything to prevent (i.e. Delap?) Can't refuse unless he's signed a pro deal. Considering his age I doubt that's the case. Being Cat 1 rather than 2 only means more money. If a player wants to leave and a club is willing to pay the compensation then there's nothing we can do. dabber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad if true. He's Kellan's little brother, isn't he? He’s not going to united, they’re interested in him but so are a couple of other clubs. He’s been offered a pro contract at Derby but doesn’t want to stay. RoyMac5, Ghost of Clough and angieram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly if he does leave, we’re clearly his best route to first team football of all the cat 1 teams with the possible exceptions of Arsenal and Everton who, in fairness, seem to do an impressive job of promoting youth even at such a high level Man United produce one a season if you’re lucky!

Phoenix Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 To paraphrase Brian Clough "I should be able to hold up my 1st team to the U18's and say 'Play like that, however......'" infering it should be the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuniverse Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) There were some injuries mentioned on the U18s v Cardiff U18s commentary last night but not what the injuries actually were. Does anybody know about the following please? Andres Perez de Gracia returned after a 16-17 month injury lay-off - what was injury? Bartosz Cybulski recently returned from injury - what was injury? Alex Matthews out injured - what with? Dylan Williams got injured in training on Tuesday, what is injury? Many thanks.

Going to league 1 would probably vastly improve academy players chances of breaking through tbh but maybe it’s not much of an incentive if your ceiling is as high as Gordon’s Stuniverse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting him to move up to the U23s in the New Year, and get a few first team games under his belt once out Championship status is retained... as long as he's planning to stay with us. He's still only 16, so has to be managed carefully. We've put a number of 16 year old into the first team over the years and they've suffered from injuries as a result (Holmes, Barnes, Bennett,etc...) whiteroseram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but unless it means extra money coming to us I'd rather, in this situation, bring through other youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
