I'm far from convinced that he has agreed to leave for another club. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIIN Translation? We have no money and therefore are cutting all no essential costs? Oh, and we will cobble together a couple of reserve teams as and when the need arises?

It means they're scrapping their academy and having two reserve sides akin to Brentford. Instead of developing their own players, they'll recruit players released by other clubs. They won't be in any youth leagues (U18/U23), instead playing friendlies. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 So they success they had in developing Jude Bellingham and the large amount the got for him and also Demari Grey was just a fluke? Short sightedness I think, or bank the money and sell up. whiteroseram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sone Aluko included if extended to 15, then a further 5 years back to include players such as Bruce. The Bellingham sale probably means they've broken even over the past 20 years. I can see the merit in scaling back their academy spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side, they were probably known locally as a club who if you were good enough regardless of age, they would play you and you’d get your move to a big club on big money if you performed well. All gone now, so they’ll have to coax and give confidence to other clubs cast offs now, so possibly kids come from big clubs down to a smaller club with a possible chip on his shoulder. rynny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before going on to West Ham, and I think now overseas. At the time it seemed a significant loss, but the Academy ended up doing very well without him.
